I was trying to gather all the information I can on the Wing T type of offense, keys, points of interest, things you have done in the past. They are VERY bad at passing the ball, so we are going to force them to pass against us...OBVIOUSLY everyone does that, but just looking for other ideas, we run a 3-5 defense.
Shade the Tackles on the inside, key the trap, flow away--look for the counter. There's a thread on here from Coach Mountjoy on what he calls a 51. I've seen teams run a 5-4 against wing-T teams.

There is nothing that will show a man's true character like the 2 yard line.

Yeah, we ran a 3-4/3-5 most of the season, playing several spread teams, so I can walk backers up to creat a 5-4 in sense. I have all the tendencies. There best G will take you to the play every single play, they love running to their sideline as well. Any other information is GREAT you guys!
The great thing about playing wing-T teams is that they almost always have tendencies and keys. If you watch enough film, you can consistently tell what play is going to be run simply by knowing situation and formation...such as split changes by WR is a key for toss with a crack block; wing aligning a step deeper on counter, etc.

Hey Bill, I must have your old number, haha, some lady answered, had no idea who you were:) I was going to talk a little about the 5/2 I'll run, or even a 5/4 (just take out my FS and SS) They can't throw worth a poop this year, great running though!

Lets say I run a 5/4 against them, cause they can't pass at all, what would be maybe two good blitz/stunts I could run, If I want a big risk here i know, for the big play, but I think we can take advantage of them, cause they can't make us pay with the pass like they could in the past.

Awesome, I will, I get off work early tomorrow, so we can really crunch it down, gave the kids the scouting report, they are hungry, they know the three plays out of each formation, know there keys *guards and such*, but want to be able to push the game, not wait for it to come to us, if that makes sense! Looking foward as always to talking wtih you!
If you look at the post from a few weeks back on the same topic as this one there is some good info. We ran mostly what i showed in the first post, some of the 4-2 lightning and reduced 5-3 look just as a little change up. The keys I wrote worked really well for us against our specific opponent that week, we held them to 1.8 yds per carry. The key for us was shading our nose. They could not block him 1 on 1 and he had a huge game and it gave our mike some easy keys.

Honestly, I don't think I'd blitz often, but use "quick reads". A good friend of mine had a team in our conference figured out to where when they lined up in a certain way, they were going to run one of a couple of plays. If your read does this, you shoot here right now! Keep things simple and keep the linemen off your LB's.

THanks alot Bill, alot of great information, I'm going to put it together for the kids, defently giving you credit with the other coaches;) I will let you know how it goes, they have a 22 game winning streak, beat every opponent by 40 this year, but we really do match up well with them. Going to run the 5-2/5-4 in sense, cause we will walk up safeties, defently going to user your rocket. I think if we can blow up there play a few time with the Rocket, we could confuse them, they have had their way with every opponent this season.
Probably too late to help, but if they run rocket or jet sweep, figure out who the offensive end is assigned to block and blitz him (not every time though). The end is stuck in his alignment on the LOS and cannot adjust if you blow past him. Goal is to do it enough to make them wary of running the speed sweep and kill a few drives with a negative play, but not so much that they can take advanage of the stunt.

When playing vs. ANY offense (Wing-T, Single Wing, Double Wing, or the more modern style offenses running the "Gap-Schemes", ETC.) that likes to BLOCK DOWN & TAKE THE ANGLES on you, we feel it is IMPORTANT not to line up in gaps & penetrate. If you do - you are PLAYING RIGHT INTO THEIR HANDS! You lose your all-important PURSUIT!
We feel this is also true vs. teams with little or no line splits!
the 33 allows you to show all kinds of things "pre-snap". we will show being in a gap, then shifting out of it, then letting a backer blitz it. pre-snap movement is the key (in my opinion).

THIS defensive version is a combination of the "5-1" to the Wing side, AND, the "5-3 Eagle" away from the Wing (can play 5-1 away from Wing as well). "COVER 0" with Sam blitzing off the Wing side.
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 — normal contain rush (no wrong shoulder). No pass responsibility.
LDE = DE (Wing Side) = 6 technique head up on TE. On the movement of the ball - rip thru inside hip of TE. C Gap responsibility. Wrong shoulder any inside/out block. NOTE: If TE splits over 2 feet - CAN slant to hip of OT (optional)
LDT = Line up in 4I on OT. On the movement of the ball - rip thru inside hip of OT. B Gap responsibility. Wrong shoulder traps. NOTE: If OT splits over 2 feet - CAN slant to hip of OG (optional).
NOSE = 0 technique head up on Center. Slant into A gap towards Wing side (get across his head to that side - quickness is IMPERATIVE).
MLB = 00 technique - 4 yds deep facing the Center. Check backside A gap first, then pursue to ball. On Pass - cover FB.
RDT = base 3 technique - B gap responsibility
WLB = 70 technique - 3 yds. deep - C gap responsibility (may "gap exchange") with DE). On Pass - cover TB unless he goes to other side - then look for FB coming out.
RDE = base 9 technique - D gap responsibility (you & Will can play "gap exchange" off block of TE).
L CORNER = line up on Wing at a depth of 4 yds. Squeeze-Contain if Wing blocks Sam. Cover Wing M/M on all passes UNLESS he motions away — then you have the FB M/M. NOTE: "Flip" Corners to get the tougher run support man of the two on the Wing side.
SAFETY = Line up 7 yds deep on inside shoulder of your TE. Cover him M/M. If he blocks DE - fill quickly at L.O.S. like your "Robber" technique (your RUN FILL is important to us).
