With its popularity, the Wing T has become a focus of defenses all over the country. Coach Curtis details the technique and teaching points the make up his winning defense against the Wing T. The trap, buck sweep and waggle play are all weapons that must be stopped by the defense. Blocking schemes in the trap are diagrammed using the white board. A key is the tackle, who must make the trap before the offense gets started. Also, forcing the ball in helps eliminate the guards from the play. The quick fake and quick option are two attacks that must be stopped by the defense. The misdirection counter play is presented in a detailed manner, including responsibilities of all players. Good offenses are using the slot, double and power to score points. Coach Curtis shows how the 50 defense can be utilized to stop all three attacks.
