Winning with the Wing-T: Creating Conflict for the Defense

Paul Ingram offers a simple process to make the most out of misdirection, formations and fakes, allowing you to put specific defensive players in conflict. Now you can call plays with confidence and use the defense's techniques to your advantage.

You'll learn how to use your assistant coaches to scout specific defensive positions. As each coach reports on how defenders are responding to down blocks, reach blocks and pull blocks, you'll get the data needed to call plays effectively. Identifying force and contain players provide insight into which players need to be manipulated. You'll see how to use formations so that players are not only placed in conflict, but have limited support around them.

Once you have identified your key defender and how he reacts to specific plays, you can now adjust your play calling to put that defender in conflict. Coach Ingram shares a variety of plays and counters to catch the defense completely off guard. You'll learn how to:

• Combine the Jet, Rocket, and Quick Pitch with the Trap. When attacking the perimeter you will need an inside threat to slow down the inside/out flow of the linebackers and place inside defenders in conflict.
• Use the 80 series to compliment your Jet and Rocket attack. This places the outside linebackers in run support assignment conflicts.
• Create counters and reverses that put backside defenders in constant conflict to either stay home or help pursue the ball and take advantage of fast flowing defenders.
• Take advantage of the Wing-T Play Action Passing game. The Sweep and POP pass take advantage of corners and safeties trying to play run support and defend the deep pass.
