The 21 personnel is an offensive formation that features two running backs and two receivers. This personnel grouping allows Gary Kubiak to mix and match Receivers and Running Backs based on the down and distance. If speed is needed at the Receiver positions, Jacoby Jones and Torrey Smith can line up to stretch the defense vertically. If a power run is needed to move the chains in the 4th Quarter and keep the clock running, Pierce and Juszczyk can be used.
Over the last 4 games, the Ravens have used the 21 personnel on 46% of their snaps. For the Ravens, the 21 personnel can maintain a strong threat of the run while still allowing the offense to pass. Coach Kubiak can either call a running set with a fullback and a running back in an I formation or call a passing play in the Ace formation. With a top 10 Rushing Offense, the Ravens use Play Action Passing to exploit mismatches in the defense. Let’s take a look at some play calls using the 21 personnel and the match-up problems it caused for the defense.
