Hey Coaches! I love game film, I love studying film. I love YouTube videos about film. So here is my attempt at reflecting on games which I have coached. I give you: Eye In The Sky Ep 1.
Why I like… The Wing-T Trap Play By Darrin Sheffer @darrinsheffer With Contribution by Coach Bruce Eien @bruceeien https://3dprintingindustry.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/its-a-trap-tumblr-1024x435.jpg As a player I’m sure you had one play that got your skin tingling when it got called in the huddle. In High School we ran the traditional Delaware Wing-T, my play was the Trap Play. Finally, my chance to rise up and shine, and I wasn’t even the ball carrier, I was the guard. The play call for us was Red 34 Guard Trap. Something I here from a lot of coaches on Twitter: “The Wing-T is BORING” by pretty much every Spread Coach ever. Well, as a High School player who was grateful for a chance to get on the field no matter what I loved playing in the Wing-T offense. I’ll be totally honest and say that at the time I had no idea that our offense was Wing-T, I really didn’t care and most kids don’t. Now as a coach who ...
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...
Why I like… Unbalanced Sets (Photo by Coach Eien @bruceeien) If there is one thing that Dinosaur Offensive coaches love to talk about, besides running the ball, it would have to be Unbalanced Sets. Old school Wing-T and Single Wing guys will hang their hat on being able to cause conflict with the defense by using Unbalanced. However, it isn’t only old school coaches using it; many Spread coaches are seeking ways to use Unbalanced in their offenses. Unbalanced Wing-T For my part I am most familiar with the Wing-T’s use of Unbalanced formations. One common way to go unbalanced in the Wing-T is to simply go X-Over (See diagram below). In the normal Wing-T formation the X is split off to the weak side of the formation, but in the X-Over we simply align him split to the Strong side/TE side. One downside to this formation is that due to the alignment of the X, the TE becomes ineligible in the passing gam...
