30 Stack vs. Wing-T

Fellas...we had great success vs Wing T teams last season. We stayed pretty true in our 30 stack alignment but from time to time we would move our stud down to play over the tight end and slant our line weak.

The best pressures we did was tackles in studs out and studs out tackles in. This put a lot of pressures on the guards with the tackles powering inside and also the studs powering inside.

In addition we would have our backers read near back. in Wing T set our studs would be reading wing or halfback. If wing tried to blockdown on our stud for the buck sweep the stud would automatically rip through the wing's neck disallowing the down block. This strategy forced the offense to go away from thier base play.

Coach Pdub,I would love some video. lotiefs@bellsouth.net I have lots of option stuff to trade.

We just played our first Wing-T team last week...we gave up 7 points on play that wasn't run from wing-T they ran the spread option and the kid broke it for a 68 yard TD...those were the only points we gave up...

Let me preface this by saying our 3 stack linebackers are all fast and can run sideline to sideline as good as I've ever seen high school linebackers do it, and our Spurs (we call them dogs) also have great speed and are physical...

We shaded our nose guard to the strong side, and kept our ends head up the tackles...our tackles pinched into the B gaps the majority of the night and basically bubbled everything into the backfield to give our linbackers time to chase everything down...

our mike linebacker read the center- if the center blocked back on nose he filled the weak A RIGHT NOW to blow up the trap...if the center did anything else, he flowed...

we placed our spur to the strong side outside shoe of the wingback and when the wing blocked down he stepped down to reduce the LOS and took on everything with his inside shoulder to turn it back inside...our "Bats" or Sam and Will flowed and made tackles all night...also worked well on down...they didn't run much Belly at all...

our backside Spur stayed home for counter criss-cross which we gave up a 40 yard run the first time we saw it because our spur got sucked inside and sealed off...after a good butt-chewing by me it didn't happen again...

we also at times walked our Bat up on the strong side and sent him off the edge...

the thing i always remember when playing the Wing-T is that the lineman rules are Gap, down, Backer...so we tried to put people in gaps and put people down when we were going inside anyway to keep them off our linebackers as much as possible...
