[QUOTE="ARPackFan, post: 848594, member: 9355"] 5 wide is just a variant on empty backfield formations / spread offense. Are the Packers the first to regularly use 5 true wide receivers in the NFL? Maybe, but I would be hesitant to make that claim as the NFL is a copy-cat league and I would bet there was a collage using 5 wide decades ago. Get a copy of the SI book "[U]Blood, Sweat and Chalk[/U]" and it will be a real eye-opener as to just how old some of these offensive schemes are. [/QUOTE]
