Double Wing Coaches

First of all i would like to say hello to everyone and introduce myself...My Name is Tyler Wiggins and I'm the Head Coach of JV and the assistant head coach on varsity at a small catholic high school in Ojai, Ca.

Now to your question, as coach Scott mentioned above me that playing the 7 technique is a great way to stop. The one thing that always screws us up is what we call a 6 technique, which looks like is the same thing diagrammed by Coach Scott...he is basically the inside shade of the TE. If we run Belly or some play to the inside we do ok, but the Buck series is really hurt by that Technique. He is the first guy i watch for up in the both

hope that helps

Karjaw,

I take your point about the formation adjustments.

IF in a true double wing, are you able to pull both the back-side G and T vs. a defense as described above (7-3-0-3-7)? If so, would you explain assignments/techniques?

Coaches,
What Lochness is getting at it is whoever has the chalk last wins. However, That is not true on the football field with our offensive teams. IT DOES NOT MATTER, WE WILL DO WHATEVER IT IS WE WANT TO DO NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO. The bottom line is (AND THIS IS VERY TRUE ABOUT FOOTBALL), The game is about Jim and Joes and not X's and O's. I do not care what scheme you run if you do not have the players then you are in trouble. We do not and have never said OK if the defense does this then we will run this. WE ARE GOING TO DO WHAT WE WANT TO DO NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO!!! You will not take me out of the plays I want to run. I use different formations or motioning to keep doing what I want. Good offensive coaches will dictate to the defense and not the other way around. I will fire any offensive coordinator who tells me we need to react to the defensive adjustments etc.. We DO NOT react we attack. Lochness is corret in You can not stop everything, just stop the best thing they do. Always stop the run first and make them throw. Gimmick defenses do not work and playing your base well is the key. Double wing coaches do not want to throw. They will if forced, but remember the majority of their practice time is spent on the run and not on the pass. Make them do what they do not like doing.
Good Luck,
Karjaw

Coach Scott,
Here is how they will pull both guards based upon your diag.
Playside:
TE: Gap down backer (block your 7tech inside)
Tackle: gap down backet (block the 3 tech)
WB: gap down backer( Block the CB in the LBE postion)
Guard: PUll kick out ( kick out the 8 tech)
Center: ON area away: (block the NG)
Backside Guard: Pull and rip inside the kickout block
Backside Tackle pull check (help with the 3 tech)
Backside TE: Cut off block
THE KEY: Full back will fill for the backside pulling guard. (blocking the 3 tech.)
Hope this helps
