Drills and Odds and Ends

Over the next several posts I plan on discussing and sharing some of the drills I have used and discovered for each of the positions in the wing-t system. I shall discuss, O-Line, Receivers, Tight Ends, Running Backs, and QB's.

I am also always open to discussing topics that others may pose to me. I am all ears.

The first set of drills that I will be discussing will be the O-line. I feel that the line is one of the most important positions on the field. With out them a team will not function very well.

The Future of Wing-T football

I have been trying to decide where to go next with this blog. I definitely want to keep it alive and going. I am not sure with how many people read and value my opinions and what I am trying to do.

I have covered each of my series in fairly good detail I have touched on each my series and included the passing series as well.

The next thing I was thinking about talking about was drills. The drills I use and what other coaches use. I just don't know if that would be something more for the forum though. Not many people have joined the forum.

Some times I get to the point if I don't know if people are even reading this block. I am not going to make this a pitty party. after all the entire reason why I started this blag was for a place for me to put my thoughts as a kind of record of what I am doing for football. I figured if others wanted to read it than so be it.

The reason why I am thinking about doing drills on the blog next is because I have been organizing all of my drill into separate drill books for the different offensive and defensive positions. I have made these drill books to give to my assistant coaches to use and to help organize practice plans.

I have made a drill book for the following: QB's, RB's, Receivers, TE's and interior lineman. I have also made defensive drill books for Interior D-line, D-Ends, LB's, and DB's

If people are interested I may put them on this site to sell also. I would only be basically charging for my time and the materials for me to put them together. I still need to scan them or put them into playmaker pro and then convert them to a PDF. I would also have to charge to cover my costs on paypal.

If you would be interested in something like this please respond to this post. I will then get working on putting them on this site for download.

What If

I have recently had some questions.

Q1. What if teams start to play you with a wide defensive end making it virtually impossible for you to run your play to the open side?

We’ll do whatever we can to get that five technique out of the way. We can reach him, pass block him, cut him, give him a down block key, whatever. Just don’t let him turn and run to the sweep. If that’s the case, we instruct our end man on the LOS to control that man how ever he can. If he wants to go outside them push him all the way to the sideline. The back will just look for the lane and make a cut. I coach my backs to always have their head on a swivel and be aware of the field.

Q2. What if you get that strong safety coming up hard on the force and you can’t crack him with your wide receiver?

We tell our wide receiver to step to crack him for two steps. If the strong safety is across the line of scrimmage by then, we will switch assignments with the blocking back the next time we run it. The blocking back will pick him up and the receiver will take number one (the corner).

Q3. What if teams are overloading your tight end side with a 7 and 9 technique and you are still trying to run the tight side?

We’ll just run inside with the tight end blocking down on the 7 technique and the tackle now kicking out on the 9 technique. We’ll have to cut the play up inside because it’s virtually impossible to get outside of that.

I have gotten a lot of my ideas on running the jet and fly from reading stuff from coach Speckman at Willamette college. I have also gotten ideas from Coach Wes Elrod. I have taken ideas from both of these great coaches and tweaked it and made it my own. I do not claim that I have developed this offense myself. I have taken others ideas and put my own twist on it to make it my own. I have changed the numbering system to make it less confusing for my players and my coaches. It works for me and hopefully it will work for others too.

I have made posts about all of my series thus far. from the 200 through the 600 run series. I have also talked about the 700, 800, and 900 passing series. I have definitely left some out since I don't want to give away all my tricks. If you have questions or comments please be sure to ask.
