Spread Wing-T

High school athletes are bigger, faster and stronger than ever. Coaches and offensive coordinators everywhere are trying to get their athletes the ball in space and letting them create, putting defenses in binds and forcing them to be good open field tacklers (which defenders at all levels struggle with) or give up big plays.
With the evolution of spread offenses everywhere running the ball has become somewhat of a novelty for some programs. Other than a quarterback draw, option play or jet sweep these offenses are very limited to designed running plays. Often the most productive running plays are when the quarterback improvises and scrambles for big gains. Being a wing-t coach, I want to be able to establish the running game and eat up the clock. I also want to get my athletes in space and have a better passing attack than I have in the past. This is why I have developed my version of the Spread Wing-T.

While still having the power running game, misdirection game which I love so much and the perimeter running attack I also am able to put my best athlete at quarterback and let him have a definite influence on the game. In the past, like many coaches I used a prototype quarterback who primarily handed the ball off and was asked to complete high percentage passes, “manage the game” if you will. Sometimes he was a great athlete without QB skills, sometimes he was a passer who lacked athletic ability and sometimes he was both. With my spread wing-t I am putting my best player, runner and thrower, at quarterback so the defense has to prepare for him every play. With this concept in mind and the utilization of my other best athletes I too want to spread the defense out to create larger running lanes, bigger passing windows and allowing the “athletes” to make more plays in space than my traditional wing-t did.

I will take you through all faucets of my Spread Wing-T, series by series, play by play along with drills and strategies to help anyone who is looking for Spread Wing-T information.
