Wing T Offense

1
Wing T Offense

• misdirection - at least 3 attack points each play
• fun, high powered offense to watch -- when it
  works
• precision and timing - lots of pressure on a
  defense
• everybody fakes
• need athletic and smart linemen -- pulls, traps
  and reads

2
Wing T Offense Benefits

• confusing to defend - can negate overly
  aggressive defensive star
• angle blocking compensates for lack of size
• fun for linemen - pulls and traps
• fun for backs -- misdirection
• excellent with quick cutting backs -- dont need
  burners
• simple effective passing game -- mostly play
  action

3
Wing T Offense Drawbacks

• precision takes work
• reads for linemen
• missed blocking assigments (particularly trap
  blocks) result in broken plays or losses in
  backfield
• passing is best if QB can throw on the run
• backs must fake

Why so successful - CB safety in a bind --
used to having TE WR run at them to block -
quick hits -- big gains - QB can have avg arm -
some passes are scary

Wishbone Offense

• It has been run successfully at 12 - 14 can it
  be run at 7 - 9?
• Can use option snap pitch
• is it fair to teach or is it too simple for
  teaching breadth of mechanics
• will kids enjoy it?
