OK, 3-3 gurus,

how would you align to this formation from left to right:

(It didn't show up like it should when I posted it. The TE, LG, C, RG, RT, LT are aligned together. The SE is aligned wide to the right with the LH two yards outside of him. The RH is a wing on the right side. The QB is in gun with the HB to his right.)

TE, LG, C, RG, RT, LT SE
RH LH

Q HB

and this wrinkle to the formation above:

(The wrinkle is the LH moves up to a wing on the left side.)

TE, LG, C, RG, RT, LT SE
LH RH HB

Q

The SE is split extra wide to stretch the Spur.
Running Wing T blocking schemes. The top formation would run more Power and Bucksweep schemes with the Q running the sweep after faking trap to the HB. The bottom formation would run more bucksweep with the LH running the sweep with the Q faking trap after handing off to the LH. Also, a lot of Jet and Jet Criss Cross both ways. There are numerous passes opportunities, too.

First, I think I would treat the G as the center for alignment. Depending how you want to do it, you could flip either the CB or the Spurr from the TE side. The big thing is to just count up your men and make sure you are not getting outnumbered to either side.

Something like this.

____________F_____________C
___$___R____M___L___$__________C
_______E____N___E
_____Y_G_C_G_T_T________X
_______________H_____________H
________Q___B

I know many DC's don't like to flip the Corners, so you could easily slide the free and move the backside CB to a FS positioning. Doing this pretty much keeps the integrity of your defense.

Simply put, I wouldn't run a 3-3 against a Single Wing team!

I agree with Coach K in so much as most coaches wouldn't swap the corner from side to side. Depending on how good your safety is at coverages I would simply use him and draw the opposite corner over the top or invert him. Bad thing about 3-3 stack is that the misdirection of a well run Single Wing can and often will offset all the designed blitzes.

_______ C_____________
______R__M___L____$_________F
_____$__E__N___E________C
_____Y_G_C_G_T_T________X
_______________H_____________H
________Q___B

Head up on Y No Free Release. Spur to strong side Zones Under looking to come down hill and takes away the quick slant or tunnel screen. Covering both A gaps leaves Mike Free to go either direction. Leo can blitz B making them decide if they are going to double the End or not. SW is very hard to defend with a moving, morphing, Defense like the 3-3 or 3-5. imho This is one case where you need to play a more stationary defense and defend your areas. Of course that can be changed as you see what they do.

Just a matter of opinion.

Its not about how much YOU know about the game, its about how much you share that knowledge with the people around you.

I'd completely agree that blitzes are dangerous good single-wing (and Wing-T for that matter). Any team that has trap capabilities/guard pulling tendencies, should have the guards covered.

"Wildcat" looks especially a "bastard" set such as this. MAKE THEM THROW!

Got to develop a set of rules and line them up by the rules and see where you go from there. You probably don't have to do much to balance it out.

If the formation is a "bastard" formation such as this, you have to "overshift" the line or backers or both as in this case to the base rules.

Our "Okie" to this formation

-We are a base 425 team so we pull our tackle and insert our Okie backer

1. Treat Guard as Center (add on overshift)
2. Spurs "50's End" look (Rule)
3. Cover 0 because its a "Wildcat" formation (Rule)
4. Overshift the 3 backers to the unbalanced strength (add on overshift)

.................................R...Q
..H...................H
......X..................T..T..G..C..G..E
....................$....S......N.......E......$
.C.......J...........B......M.....O......C

Here is how I would play it out of our Base look which is a 425 G

Our "31" to this formation

1. Tread Guard as Center. 731Heavy5 with the line (add on overshift)
2. Spurs "50's End" look because of the wing AND the 5 tech being covered (Rule)
3. Cover 0 because its a "Wildcat" formation (Rule)

.................................R...Q
..H...................H
......X..................T..T..G..C..G..E
...................$...S...T......N....E....$
.C......J................B......M.........C

Thats how we teach it.

Give them a set of rules THEN put in the "Overshifts" for the "Bastard formations"

Its a numbers game and a game of confusion on their part. "How can they get you and your kids to be confused and to spend all kinds of time preparing for it"

Just prep'em and rep'em USING YOUR RULES and overshifts.
