Coaches, I know the in Coach Campbell's manuals the original splits of the OL is 2ft across the board.
We will be installing the double wing this year and I have talked to a couple of coaches who have given very different advice
as to our splits. To give you some background on what we will be running; we will be incorporating the base
plays from the Wing-T (FB Trap, HB/WB Trap, QB Keep, and WB Counter Trap), from the Spread Veer
(Midline, Inside Veer, Load Opt., Speed Opt., Counter Opt., 10/11 Trap, and 10/11 Trap Option). We will also incorporate a
Toss, Isolation, and two or three plays from the Shotgun (maily to prevent the DL from crabbing).
I understand some of the advantages of tight splits (6in to 1ft) are: D cannot shoot gaps as easily, double
teams are easier to achieve, and the "D" cannot see as clearly into the backfield.
Some of the advantages of 2ft splits are: inside releases are easier, QB reads on the Triple Option are easier,
and natural running lanes are created by bigger OL splits.
We have been considering making our splits 1ft - 1.5ft - 3ft to possibly attain the best of both worlds.
What do you think? Thanks, Coach Fish
