defending the waggle

THAT is why we DON'T use Cover 3 vs Delaware Wing-T. The DE CANNOT play the trap block on the Counter XX, AND contain the Waggle (the plays start off the SAME). We NEED the OLB on the QB on the Waggle - thus we play OTHER coverages (Man/Robber; OR, roll to Cover 2 THAT side).!

We have 2 or 3 ways to do it, but the following has been real good. the QB will get "smacked in the mouth" on or shortly after the waggle FAKE to either side!

Note: you will have to work out adjustments to OTHER formations - basically they are VERY SIMPLE. The S/S lines up on the Wing no matter where he aligns. The F/S aligns on the TB no matter where he aligns. The Corners align on the TE & SE no matter where they align.

SAM = Line up in gap between Wing & TE. On the movement of the ball - shoot inside off hip of TE & then flat down the LOS behind the heels of the O-Line. D Gap responsibility. Wrong shoulder any inside/out block. NOTE: If Wing motions away – contain rush (no wrong shoulder) - QB on waggle.

DE (Wing Side) = 6 technique head up on TE. On the movement of the ball - shoot off hip of OT & then flat down the line behind the heels of the O-Line. C Gap responsibility. Wrong shoulder any inside/out block.

DT (Wing Side) = Conventional 3 technique – outside shoulder of OG. B Gap responsibility. Wrong shoulder traps.

S/S = line up on Wing at a depth of 3-4 yds. Squeeze-Contain if Wing blocks Rover. Cover Wing M/M on all passes UNLESS he motions away – then you have the FB M/M.

Mike = Line up 3 yds deep straddling Center’s leg to Wing/TE side. You have strongside A gap on plays to you (stay at home if you lose sight of the ball thru mis-direction). If the play goes away – cautious inside/out pursuit. Cover FB M/M on show pass (you may tackle him on his fake on waggle pass).

Corners = line up 7 yds deep on inside shoulder of TE & SE. Cover him M/M. NOTE: Corner on TE side fills vs. run if TE blocks.
