UNDERSTANDING THE WING T

• COACHES HAVE TRADITIONALLY USED 4 “KEYS” INDEFENDING THE WING T

– WING OR SLOT MOTION (PLAY TO THE MOTION)

– FULLBACK (IF HE IS NOT ON THE MIDLINE, HE

USUALLY TAKES YOU TO THE DIRECTION OFTHE PLAY)

– HALFBACK

– OFFENSIVE LINE

– Problems occur with these because of false keys!


13/36

Coach John Rice

KEYING THE WING OR

SLOT:• FALSE KEYS UTILIZED

FROM MOTION BY SLOT OR WING

1. WAGGLE

2. POWER OPTION (SPEED OPTION TO TE)

3. SALLY (WING T SPRINT DRAW ACTION)

4. COUNTER TREY (TO TE)

5. DOWN (ON MOTION AWAY)

6. SHOVEL PASS

7. TRAP OPTION (ON MOTION AWAY)

STRATEGY FOR PLANNING

• CHECK FOR FALSE KEYS FROM EACH

IF YOU HAVE ONE WITH NO FALSE KEYS

(OR VERY FEW), USE THAT PARTICULAR

KEY UNTIL THEY MAKE YOU GET OFF IT

Strategy: Corner & FS Key TE & Wing

“Wing-t teams have traditionall had a great deal o! di"#ultatta#$ing these de!ensive spa#ings %e#ause the have ele#ted tosta in traditional &ing !ormations &ith a tight end &ing%a#$ onone side and a split end dive%a#$ on the other side' By doingthis, ofensive coaches are playing right into the

deensive coaches hands. Why? Because the ree saetyavors the tight end side so that he can cover the tightend when the deense elects to lit!. "s soon as the tightend loc#s the ree saety is in the run support and tileofensive coach has created another lineac#er. Thecorner is also rolled up to the tight end wingac# side and

he is assigned to cover the wingac# when they lit!.When the wingac# loc#s another additional lineac#erhas een created.
