Coach ,

The Wing-T concepts have permeated football offense at every level because of its ability to open up running lanes with creative concepts that capitalize on the misdirection that moves defenders out of place.

These coaches have proven to be very creative in putting together concepts that maximize the abilities of the players they have as well as minimize some of the weaknesses.

These guys don’t utilize just the traditional concepts; they've adapted all of the modern weapons like RPO, Tempo, and even Air Raid types of passing games.

Here is an example:

Counter-Go RPO - Making the defense pay on over playing your buck sweep with counter is always a great plan. Kenny Simpson makes the answers even more explosive by being able to add an RPO to Counter, this one with a go route.  The video shows just how effective this play can be:

Being able to run against today’s odd fronts certainly is a priority.  Taking care of the nose will get a play like this going and Coach Rotsko shows how they do that here. It may even be a little overkill, but he definitely goes for a ride (click on image for video):

Of course, defending this is a concern for most teams who have at least one opponent on their schedule who is wing-t.

A Wing-T offense expert himself, Coach Rick Stewart knows a few things about Stopping the Wing-T from the 4-2-5. In this video Coach Stewart explains why he likes the 4-2-5. The way the front and back end are “divorced” provide the basis for stopping a tough offense like the Wing-T:

Coach believes in Defending the Wing-T with a 7 Man Front. In this video he explains how their defense is set up to stop the Wing-T and everything else is just an adjustment off of it.

Whether it’s understanding formations that help outflank opponents, learning complementary plays to things already in your offense, or even how to defend these plays, the upcoming Wings & Thing Clinic has speakers that cover it all.

There will be defensive topics specifically addressing how to defend this tough to stop offense.

The benefit of the virtual clinic world is you have the opportunity to learn from a variety of coaches who run a variety of offenses. Travel doesn’t limit you, and in the case of attending a Wing-T clinic there’s no one guarding the door demanding that you give the secret handshake to get in.

All kidding aside, Check out the entire line-up and topics here:
