Wing T Offense misdirection at least 3 attack

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 -- don’t 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
