I know....at least how it was explained to me...but I've hear variations...So I'm curious...how you would describe it.
the flanker is the Z. The X is the single receiver side ...
It evolved from the T-formation halfback motioning to outside the end on the line of scrimmage. Then they would position him there
without motioning.
Robert Woods was the flanker, Puka is the flanker -- usually.
Jack Snow was the split end, Rentzel the flanker.
Then Jackson was the split end and Snow moved to flanker
Jackso was the split end Jessie was the flanker.
Flankers are off the line of scrimmage, and can motion. the X receiver cannot move.
They can shift presnap and fix that for various reason.
