The Beast Formation is great because it creates alignment conflict for the defense. It also gives you multiple blocker at the point of attack along with several different blocking options. You can block it big on big and have the running backs lead through the hole. You can execute a true power scheme with double teams at the point of attack with the blocking back or wing-back kicking out. Going with an unbalanced line create an extra gap that the defense has to account for. Most of the time on the youth football level teams don’t adjust or they actually over adjust. This is a great complement to your base offense and will be great early on in a game if your opponent hasn’t scouted you.
Beast Right Power Lead
Center: Block backside A-gap defender. If he has a head up defender he blocks the head up nose guard.
Right Guard: Inside-Over-Free blocking scheme. You can have your G double a nose guard if he is a good player.
Right Tackle: Inside-Over-Free blocking scheme.
Left Tackle (tackle-over right): Block defensive tackle.
Left Guard: Inside-Over-Free.
Left TE: Base backside defensive end. He must always secure his inside gap first.
