Wing T Offense

misdirection - at least 3 attack points each play fun, high powered offense to watch -- when it works precision and timing - lots of pressure on a defense everybody fakes need athletic and smart linemen -- pulls, traps and reads

Wing T Offense: Benefits

confusing to defend - can negate overly aggressive defensive star angle blocking compensates for lack of size fun for linemen - pulls and traps fun for backs -- misdirection excellent with quick cutting backs -- dont need burners simple effective passing game -- mostly play action

Wing T Offense: Drawbacks

precision takes work reads for linemen missed blocking assigments (particularly trap blocks) result in broken plays or losses in backfield passing is best if QB can throw on the run backs must fake

Wishbone Offense
It has been run successfully at 12 - 14; can it be run at 7 - 9? Can use option snap; pitch is it fair to teach or is it too simple for teaching breadth of mechanics will kids enjoy it?
