It makes the defense game plan for the QB as a running threat. It pretty much takes away the defense’s extra defender. Having a mobile QB takes the offense to an entire new level. Numerous teams will run zone reads, QB draws, QB counters, QB powers, and QB sweeps. Teams will use the pistol or spread wing t which will make the QB a running threat. Now a days many teams are utilizing the mobile quarterback. Many teams will now run trap, power, counter, and waggle off of jet motion. I believe at least 7 where on jet sweep and 6 on rocket sweep.
My best RB last year had 1,800 yards rushing and 18 touchdowns. Running Jet and or Rocket sweep to your best athlete can devastate defenses. I feel the rocket sweep is even more explosive play than jet. The rocket sweep is a play which attacks the edge of the defense. The rocket sweep out of the wing t offense has also gained much popularity. You can have the jet motion player go out and run a pass route also. You can also use the jet motion back as a lead blocker. Having motion will force the defense to slant or roll coverage to the motion side, leaving them open for a counter play off of the motion. This play attacks the edge of the defense quickly and puts the defense in conflict.

The wing t offense has evolved over time and in my opinion it is more explosive than ever! The jet sweep allows your athletes to receive the ball while running full speed. These two plays have been the staple mark of the Wing T Offense for a long time! Wing T Offense Plays The RG helps with the nose guard, then combos onto the middle backer. You can see how the (right back) is faking buck sweep to the left. You can see the (LG) is pulling out to the left. Let’s not forget that the tight-end can be a passing threat. Having a TE will spread the defense out horizontally and will create an additional gap that the defense will have to be responsible for. You can double team defensive linemen with the TE. Personally, I love having a tight-end because it creates conflict for the defense. The wing t offense also utilizes a tight-end. A key breaker can be used to make a play look like another play that has already been executed. Key breaker are when you pull a linemen to the opposite side you are running to. False pulls, mostly know as key breakers will throw off the defender that are keying the guards. When you consistently pull guards you can also do some false pulls. The guards will usually have to be decent athletes because they will be pulling. The combination blocks can be used to get some movement on a dominate D-linemen. This offense uses some combination blocks as well. Angle/down blocking is an excellent way to utilize a smaller offensive line. Working angles will allow your offensive linemen to flatten some of these defensive linemen. The wing t offense will use a lot of down, trap, and kick out blocks. My favorite aspect of the wing t offense is the angle/down blocking scheme. For this offense to work all players must carry out their fakes. The split-end will need to be a kid that can catch the ball and stalk block well in space. This is a simple offense to teach and the kids will catch onto it quickly. Our full-back is usually a bigger stronger kid, that can block as well. They need to be able to block, catch, and run the football. The wing-back and tight-end flank as you can see in the 100 & 900 formation below create real conflict for the defense. Wing-backs should be your best all around players. The wing-back can also run a pass pattern. The wing-back can be used to execute some kick-out blocks and seal blocks. The wing-back can double team an aggressive defensive end that is difficult to block. The wing-back will be able to down block on any c-gap defender or a wide defensive tackle. Having a wing-back will allow you to outflank the defense. The wing t offense will utilize one or two wing-backs at one time (some say slot & wing). There are many other offenses that utilize wing t tactics as well. There is the spread, and pistol wing t that utilize a mobile QB. There is the traditional under center wing t. Every play will set another play up! You will see many different variations of the wing t offense.

I love this offense because it is truly a series based offense. In my opinion, these are some of the best players of all time. Every wing t coach knows and runs the belly, buck sweep, power, trap, counter, and waggle series. Every play looks the same for the first few steps. The wing t offense is proven and can be executed successfully on any level of football.
