When to Use 46 Formation

Pressure the Defense to Resort to Passing

The 46 Formation allocates 8 players in the defense box. The Strong Safety is also included in the box instead of staying near the Goal Line to apply more pressure to the offensive team to attempt passing plays instead of risking easily-blocked running plays.
