The Double Tight Wishbone Offense
The Philosophy:The double tight wishbone’s main concept is running the football everydown to punish the defenders. With adjustments in blocking and running wecan create situations that are unfavorable to the defense at all times. Byhaving the mass of runners in the center it creates an unbalanced field of 8verses 7 throughout the entire game. With 6 basic strong running plays backed by 8 weaker plays and 5 passing plays every game can be won.Player Requirements:The Quarterback must be a very good athlete but not necessarily the best.He does not even need to have the best throwing capability. He needs to befast, smart, talented, and deceptive.The Backfield needs to be explosive and very tough. Each player must havethe ability to run hard and block. The fullback needs to be the toughest of the three but not necessarily the biggest.
The Linemen need to have 2 things: Heart and Speed. This offense is veryfriendly to the linemen in the fact that it is easy to remember and there arenot very many plays. The center needs to be the best all-around lineman,followed by the tackles that need to be exceptionally fast.The Tight Ends need to have the capability of blocking every single down.They will be needed to run pass routes if needed as well in emergencies.Player and Gap Numbering:The numbering system is extremely simple and easy to remember. Theevens are to the right and the odds are to the left. The 0 and 1 holes are basically the center’s body; the holes 2 and 3 make up the guards’ body andso on. The quarterback is 1, the fullback is 4, the tight ends are 7 and 6, andthe running backs are 3 and 2.
Where to run?
On a play such as ‘Base 42’ the ball can either go to the outside or inside of the strong side guard. This will be determined by where the defensive tacklelines up. If he is in B gap the guard will call “OUT” meaning he will block out and the play will run inside of him. If the defensive tackle is in the Agap he will call “IN” meaning he will block inside and the play will gooutside of him. Against a 5 front the guard and tackle block the DT.
On a play such as ‘34 Outside’ the offensive lineman will yell ‘OUT’ if theend is in the C gap. He will yell ‘IN’ if the tackle is in the B gap. The backside linemen will do the same thing (in a different order of course) tothrow off the defense so they don’t know which side the play is on. The backside will be lying to the defense obviously and they will scoop. Whenagainst a 5 front the coaches make the call ‘Inside’ or ‘Outside’.This will be explained in greater detail later on.Play Calling:The first number will be the person who runs or has the ball and the secondnumber will be where we want that person to go. The only exceptions tothis system are the plays 44(45) and 56(57). Who carries the ball is verysubject to change though. The way a play called is very simple and efficientwhen the players have the offense down. Two examples would be:44 Outside Dive Slant (below)
