I understood the terminology reply and can see how it wouldn't affect field translation but formation-wise they are vastly different.

The running game is much more about blocking assignments, blocking styles, etc than it is about formations that they line up in. A pulling guard is a pulling guard no matter how many TEs you have on the line. There were plenty of "wide(r) open"-formation running plays in "Gibbs" offense to be able to mesh well with any style of offensive passing philosophy.

Not every running play over the past 4 years was in "jumbo" or in two TE formations.
