Defending the Wing T

Understand the Wing T Offense.


 Designed to create conflicts -
 through multiple formations with the
use of motion or shifts;
 with the threat of an outside run, an
inside run and an off tackle run on all
actions;
 with the use of misdirection with
multiple counters and blocking
variations;
 with the threat of multiple option plays
with a power running game to
compliment misdirection; and
 with play action passes to and away
from flow.
 Base Wing T block is down – kick out
 Be sure you are able to adjust quickly
to formations where you are out manned
(i.e. unbalanced).
