Why I Like... The Wing-T Part 2: Coaches Quotes

Darrin Sheffer

Continuing the Wing-T series from part one I still want to keep going with the Why of the Wing-T. In this post I want to focus on quotes from other coaches on Twitter.

I put out this Twitter Post: "Calling all Wing-T Coaches, I need personal testimonials on WHY you run the Wing-T. Message me with your story." I have only had this up for about two days and I have received quite a few good quotes that I would like to share with you guys. These are just a few:

From Chris Fore, MA, CAA https://twitter.com/CoachFore

"Took over an 0-10 program who threw 35 picks in the spread. Installed the Wing-T, improved to 5-5, lost 2 games on last play of game!... Ran it from 2001-2009. Love the wing t! Helped our little schools to have success."

From Jon Kroeger https://twitter.com/Coach_Kroeger

"Been running wingt since I played in HS, gets more backs involved, not dependent on a stud Qb, good for any size linemen esp. smaller guys"

From Jarrod Remer https://twitter.com/coach_remer

"We feel like its not dependent on a stud at qb each year and the gap schemes help smaller linemen out"

From Phil Vogt https://twitter.com/thecoachvogt

"Angles. Tons of formations. Plays that look the same but hit dif spots. Run from pro-i it's even better... Wide zone plus 1-3 wingT plays and you have potent run game"

I of course have other coaches chiming in as we speak, but for now I think we are understanding the fact that there are a lot of coaches out there who are fans of the Wing-T. Be on the lookout for more Wing-T related posts and other posts.

Quick Screens From Wing-T Offense

Quick Screens from Wing-T Offense By Darrin Sheffer When most coaches hear Wing-T Offense they usually don’t think about passing, however there are a few ways that a Wing-T coach can utilize his receivers on the edge. Delaware Wing-T X-Now Screen One of the simplest ways to attack the boundary using the Wing-T is to use an X-Now Screen or Quick Screen. Preferably, unless you have a QB with a rocket for an arm, I would rather use this play when the X receiver is to the boundary. In the case of using the Right Formation we would like to have the ball on the left hash with the X lined up on or just inside of the numbers, this will give the QB a nice easy pass and the X a bit of room to maneuver. I would teach my X to use the sideline and get as many yards as possible but you might have a different preference on the Now Screen. An idea that you could use...

Unconventional Formations #1: Coach Slade Singleton's X/Z Over Formation

By Darrin Sheffer With Contributions by Coach Slade Singleton Twitter: @slade248 Photo provided by Coach Slade Singleton Coach, is your offense... Boring? Predictable? Looking to add some spice to your offense? I suggest you find yourself an Unconventional Formation. Now understand that I'm not suggesting that you need to find a whole new offensive scheme, I'm just saying you should really be thinking of adding something new and something that not a lot of other coaches have the balls to do. Some coaches may be afraid that adding something on top of what they already do will ruin their strategy. What if I told you it didn't need to? What if I told you that adding ONE unconventional formation won't be too expensive to teach? I want to first thank Coach Slade Singleton Co Author/ Unlocking The Air Raid DNA (link below) for allowing me to write about one formation that he uses and I just freaking love, his X/...

Football 101 In The Classroom Part 1

Football 101 In The Classroom Part 1: Level Zero Vocabulary By Coach Sheffer Hey coaches! A while back I started a blog series called Football 101 where I stated that coaches should consider teaching their players the basics (vocab, rules, etc.) of the game in the classroom before they get to the field. Well, I'm back now with some examples of how I would go about teaching the basics of American Football to today's youth. https://pxhere.com/en/photo/1162901 For some background I am a High School Science Teacher at a school with a high number of ESOL (English as a Second Language) students and kids that just plain out don't understand American Football. I have a few years experience teaching science vocabulary to these students with some success and I would attempt to do the same with the Football vocabulary. I am attaching a file below called Football 101: Level Zero Vocabulary which you can use however you like. Don't plan o...
