Wing-T vs 3-35

I have not had to face that defense yet! We mainly see versions of the 4-4 and 5-2. From what I've read and heard is you treat it similar to the 5-3 defense. Off-tackle game(FB Down play and FB Belly Cross block, off-tackle gut play off of bucksweep action, etc.) Quick hitters are what I hear works well. For wing-t info. I mainly get my info. from bucksweep.com or jetsweep.com both sites talk frequently about wing-t vs. 3-3-5 or 3-5 and many other defenses, etc. Good luck.

Coach,
Trap them!! Trap Right: Have both offensive tackles dip and rip the LBer's over the tackles, have the center and Right guard double the nose and then have the right guard slip up to the middle backer. Have the left guard trap the right DE. This has been a great play vs. 33

I have been wanting to try running a loaded belly option to the weak side vs. the 33
In a Delaware "Red" formation have the Slot WB and left tackle double team the DE, slip off to the middle backer if they need to, have the left guard pull and log WLBer. Zone backside from center to TE: Sally steps backside(great counter off this play). Have the FB fake belly and block middle backer. Pitch off the OLBer with QB and WB running the option. WR stalk blocks corner.
Tell me what you think?
Thanks,
Gary

Coaches,
Here is the best way to defeat the 33 stack and 50 defenses for that matter, you must create a 4 man blocking surface. How we do it two main ways:
1. We run unbalanced line. We bring our tackle over and align the TE next to him leaving the other TE and guard on the other side.
2. We will place the wing in the B gap with the guard, tackle and TE.
The question is now why?
-They must move the defensive line down one spot to adjust to the unbalanced. If they do they are now in a 40 look and not in a 50 any longer. If they do not: then you out number them to the point of attack

Then the final way we hurt them is by using formations that do not involve a TE. We run double wing and both SEs over. We run empty double wing sets. This will get them out of the 5-3 defense. Anytime you use a slot formation and a TE or SE to the other side they have to move some one out. Who? The OLB or the safety. It does not matter. They will only have 7 men in the box to defend the run. These are cheap ways to get what you want and they do not cost you anything. No time or extra practice and the best part is:
1. You are dictating once again to the defense
2. You are not adjusting blocking schemes or putting in new plays. NO new learning.
Hope this helps

Karjaw KNOWS his Wing-T.

3-5 Stack teams HATE 2 TE's. I wonder what they would do IF you ran the conventional Delaware Wing-T from 2 TE & 2 Wing set?

The great Wing-T coaches of the past (Forrest Evashevski at Iowa; Nelson & Raymond at Del.)., ALL had the ability to do that.

If none of you have seen the Iowa Wing-T (around 1960) - it was a thing of beauty. National Champions. IMO they ran it BETTER than Delaware EVER did!

Evashevski & Dave Nelson co-authored a FANTASTIC book (complete with photo sequence pics of the plays) that is are out of print, but can still be found at bookfinder.com
