Five years ago, we went to the
Wing-T and found it to be a very
successful offense in our conference.
The other teams had a extremely
difficult time adjusting to a primary
trapping offense.
Unfortunately, all good things usually
come to an end and so did our ability
to confuse the defense. They keyed
our fullback and essentially took
away the first part of our offense,
the fullback trap.
Most defensive coordinators over
loaded the strong side with the safety,
keying the fullback, and reading the
QB's belly. (diagram 1) We had to
develop a powerful weak side attack.
We put in the "weak outside veer" (diagram 2)
plus both pop passes and shoot
pass routes (diagram 3).
The result has been excellent.
We are a more complete football
team. From the one formation
(WING-T), we can attack the
entire field. Defenses are not
allowed to "sit" on a predictable
formation.
