Wing T DFence help

My former offensive coodinator used to run the wing T and I devloped away to stop it or at least dictate what it is going to be able to do to you (force it to pass)



Defense Ends - are playing head up to outside shoulder on the tight ends and have contain

Defensive Tackles and Nose Tackles - these guys are going to have a tough hard nosed football game. Line up two nose tackles in the center guard gaps, and two defensive tackles in the guard tackle gaps. At the snap have these players dive into the gaps low and trying to get up quickly. this will prevent the guards from pulling flat down the line and will over load the center disrupting any of the things that wing t offenses like to do in the back field. Plus it will keep them low

Corners - are going to be locked up man to man on the outside most reciever to their side, they also will support the run. (one thing you can do is when a recievers outsidemost man goes in motion away, that can be a check blitz for that corner)

SS, FS - you can use linebackers here if you have fast athletic backers but there assignment is man to man on the second receiver from the sideline and run support. they line up head up with the tackles

MLB - has run support sideline to sideline and will fill in the middle. this is the guy that will be making most of the tackles since the dt and nt should be keeping him clean of any blockers. his pass assignment is to the fifth receiver either side he comes out or a shallow drop and spy QB. The MLB lines up head up on the center

This will work really well on teams that can pass, but if the other team has a good qb and receivers your corners better be great
