Understanding the Wing T

• The Delaware System also places all plays from a similar look into a series.

• The best example of this is the Sweep, Trap, and Waggle plays. All these plays belong inthe Sweep or Twenty Series. All the plays in a particular series compliment each other insomeway, for example the Waggle is the play action pass off of the Sweep. There are

nine series used in the Delaware System.

• 10 Series: Sprint Out Series

• 20 Series: Sweep Series

• 30 Series: Power Series

• 40 Series: Veer Series

• 50 Series:

– Three, Five, Seven Step Pass Drops

•60 Series:

•Passing Series designed to look like 20 Series.

•

70 Series: A Drop Back Passing Series

•80 Series: Belly Series

•90 Series: Lead Option Series

Play Communication

• The Delaware System uses a sequence of three numbers tocommunicate the play from the coach to the field. The firstnumber is the formation, the second number identifies theseries, and the final number directs the point of attack.

Additional information concerning a play can be added witheither a prefix or suffix.

• For Example: Loose 124 Gut

UNDERSTANDING THE WING T

• COACHES HAVE TRADITIONALLY USED 4 “KEYS” INDEFENDING THE WING T

– WING OR SLOT MOTION (PLAY TO THE MOTION)

– FULLBACK (IF HE IS NOT ON THE MIDLINE, HE

USUALLY TAKES YOU TO THE DIRECTION OF THEPLAY)

– HALFBACK

– OFFENSIVE LINE

– Problems occur with these because of false keys!


13/36

Coach John Rice

[email protected]

KEYING THE WING OR SLOT:

• FALSE KEYS UTILIZED

– FALSE MOTION BY WING OR SLOT KEY PLAYS (AWAY

FROM MOTION BY SLOT OR WING

1. WAGGLE

2. POWER OPTION (SPEED OPTION TO TE)

3. SALLY (WING T SPRINT DRAW ACTION)

4. COUNTER TREY (TO TE)

5. DOWN (ON MOTION AWAY)

6. SHOVEL PASS

7. TRAP OPTION (ON MOTION AWAY)


14/36

Coach John Rice

[email protected]

KEYING FULLBACK

• FALSE KEYS USED

– BELLY BOOTLEG

– SALLY OR BELLY TACKLE TRAP

– COUNTER TREY BOOTLEG


15/36

Coach John Rice

[email protected]

KEYING HALFBACK

• FALSE KEYS USED

– WAGGLE

– WAGGLE SHOVEL PASS

– BELLY BOOTLEG

– BELLY X BLOCK OPTION

– BELLY KEEP PASS LOAD

– SALLY

– COUNTER XX

• TRUE KEYS (HB will take you to the ball)

– TAKES YOU TO THE BALL IN THE BUCK SERIES?

• SWEEP-YES

• GUT

– WAGGLE SHOVEL PASS

– BELLY SERIES

– SALLY

– COUNTER XX


16/36

Coach John Rice [email protected]

STRATEGY FOR PLANNING

• CHECK FOR FALSE KEYS FROM EACH

OF THE 4 TRADITIONAL KEYS: WING/SLOT,

FULLBACK, HALFBACK, LINE (& perhapsslanting to motion)

IF YOU HAVE ONE WITH NO FALSE KEYS

(OR VERY FEW), USE THAT PARTICULAR

KEY UNTIL THEY MAKE YOU GET OFF IT

PRE SNAP GUIDELINES TO

DEFENDING WING T1. ADJUST TO ALL FORMATIONS AND

MOTION; DON’T ALLOW YOURSELF

TO BE OUTFLANKED 2. DON’T PUT EVERYONE UP ON THE

LINE (ANGLE DOWN-KICK OUT!)

3. BEWARE OF MAN COVERAGE VS.THE OPTION! (EX: DOWN OPTION)

4. KNOW YOUR KEY(S)

Strategy: Corner & FS Key TE & Wing

“Wing-t teams have traditionally had a great deal of difficultyattacking these defensive spacings because they have elected to stayin traditional wing formations with a tight end wingback on one sideand a split end diveback on the other side. By doing this, offensivecoaches are playing right into the defensive coaches hands.

Why? Because the free safety favors the tight end side so that hecan cover the tight end when the defense elects to blitz. As soonas the tight end blocks the free safety is in the run support andtile offensive coach has created another linebacker. The corneris also rolled up to the tight end wingback side and he isassigned to cover the wingback when they blitz. When the

wingback blocks another additional linebacker has been created. By now the offense is hopelessly outnumbered but many coachesstubbornly continue to try to force the bucksweep and other tightend wingback plays into bad numbers.”-DENNIS CREEHAN

•Get your Strong Corner and Free Safety flying up to support the run

when they get down blocks from the wing and tight end!

Review of Successful Strategies

• Review the 4 base keys (fullback, Halfback, Wing, Slot). Check for false

keys; If none or very few, utilize that key until they make you get off it. • Check wingback trail motion for tendencies; if valid, use for a key

• Avoid man coverage vs. Option schemes

• Avoid wrong arm technique vs. Load scheme

• Avoid man coverage vs. Jet Sweep

• Corner & FS fill hard off run reads from wing and TE

• Slant to weak tackle with strong End and Nose

• Slant to Wing with strong End and Nose

• Slant strong with Ends and Nose

• Wrong arm the pullers in Sweep, trap, and tackle trap

• Mix up your option responsibilities

• Strategy 9 vs. Wing-T Runs: FS is flying up on run Read off end man onLOS
