This brief presentation came about as a result of many

requests for information about my personal playbook. It

contains the most basic plays in my offense from only

the Double Wing formation. Plays will be shown only toone side, and are grouped by series. These series are:

TossWedge

Jet (Buck) Sweep


3/19

The Toss is the most important play in the offense. Basic

blocking rules for the playside are Gap-On-Down.

Backside, the center blocks Man on, Man Away

(MoMa), and the tight end cut blocks, aiming for the

centers hip. Pullers pull THROUGH the centers

starting position and lead the way.

Toss Series


4/19

The Counter to the Toss is called X-Toss. The basic

blocking rules are EXACTLY REVERSED from the toss

to aid in teaching time. The 4 wing takes a sharp jab step

back before taking an inside handoff from the QB. The

QBs footwork is very important. He must spin 270-

degrees and handoff.

Toss Series


5/19

There are two main passes in the Toss series. 24 Toss

Pass is the only one to be run to both sides and is a

rollout pass with the QB looking only at the TE and then

FB. The wing is a decoy route. The QB always has the

option to run. (Indeed, it is the preferred choice.)

Note the angles of the TEs and FBs routes. This is to

spread the defense.

Toss Series


6/19

30 Draw is the Big Play of the series. The FB takes a jab

step and settles low while the QB fakes the toss and then

presses the ball into the FBs hand at the hip.

Since it fakes 24 Toss Pass Deep, this play is run only to

one side.

Toss Series


7/19

30 Wedge is the the most effective short yardage play in

the offense. When in doubt, wedge or toss. All offensive

linemen drive the inside man forward by placing their

shoulders on his back. Do not interlock by grabbing a

teammate. Do not push the ball carrier forward.

The wedge series is run only to the right and is run on

first sound.

Wedge Series


8/19

18 Wedge Keep is an effective counter to the wedge and

is used when the defense is beginning to ignore the

action behind the fullback. All line blocking remains the

same.

You may also pass using a quick fly pattern or rollout,

but watch the offensive line to avoid ineligibles

downfield.

Wedge Series


9/19

49 Wedge Counter is a big yardage counter. The ratio

should be approximately five wedges for every one QB

Keep, and five Keeps for every Counter to keep the

defense always off balance.

Wedge Series


10/19

49 Jet Sweep is the primary perimeter play. The 4W is

usually the ball carrier because, as the counter back, he

is usually the fastest back on the team.

Playside blocking rules are determined by the TEs

count of defensive players between him and the Center.

1= G and T pull. 2=G pulls. 3=All stay and reach block.

Backside G always pulls to clean up penetration.

Sweep Series


11/19

The Quick Trap is the main counter to the sweep series.

The backfield action looks identical to the Wedge, only

adds two step flat motion.

Note the influence pullers on the back side (LG and LT.)

This is an essential part of the misdirection.

Have the playside TE take a 3 split to aid in his inside

release.

Sweep Series


12/19

The Waggle is the sweep series main pass. It is run to

both sides and is a rollout.

The 2W is a decoy used to pin the FS in place. Read isright TE on out or post-corner, then backside TE on dig.

Uncovered playside lineman pulls and aims for DEs

upfield shoulder.

Sweep Series


13/19

The Reverse is the Big Play of the sweep series. The

blocking is identical to the sweep to the same side (49

Sweep and 49 Reverse are the same, 28 Sweep and 28

Reverse are identical, etc.) The backside G can either

pull for cleanup or block inside as needed.

Sweep Series


14/19

The object of this file is not to teach all aspects of the

Double Wing, but rather to briefly explain the system as

I run it. No attempt is made to explain the use of plays

beyond the most basic playcalling and diagramming, and

additional formations are not shown.
