I think I may have found a new favorite formation

Run n Gun Strong Close

This formation is actually pretty crazy. I usually prefer gun formations, but this formation worked incredibly well in all four H2H games I played. Some of the most effective adjustments were:

Y Trail: Motion the WR running the slant route to the left. This will put them behind the WR running the deep route, allowing for a disguised receiver. 

WR Out: Change the WR on a curl route to a streak. If the user follows the streak, the post will likely be open. If they follow the post, the streak will likely be open. I had Darren Waller at WR running the hot route streak, and he got 200+ yards and 3 touchdowns. 

PA X Cross: Change the FB to pass block. This helps defend against blitzes during the play-action, allowing the play to develop. In Cover 2 the post route will be open. In Cover 3 the cross route should be open.

Yes, I use strong close out of packers playbook and I always felt it was sneaky to pass or run out of. Hard to predict what the play will be just by seeing the formation

Yeah, and there's a lot of freedom to motion players. Was really surprised by how effective it was

I've faced 5 people doing this and each time this formation has given me hell it's really good if you know how to use it.
