Offense
Stack Release
One of the signatures of a Marc Trestman offense is the use of multi-stack alignments and 3×1 sets. A 3×1 can be characterized as three receivers lining up collectively to either the strong or weak side of the formation, with a single X receiver on the opposite side.
Last Sunday, Trestman flashed the 3×1 look on a pivotal field goal drive that helped the Ravens close the gap on a 6-0 deficit. On this drive, Trestman showed the 3×1 look on first down out of a base formation (2 WRs, 2 backs, 1 TE), and ran the ball with Buck Allen to the open side of the formation.
