Stopping Wing T
by: Coach Pappy

Coach,

We have been fortunate enough to have been in the playoffs eight straight years now and over the years have used 4 and 5 man fronts until this past season when we went to the 3-5 simply because we had less size and a little more speed.

As D co-ordinator I was a little ansy since our competitive level is tough and we do face the winged T with all its miss direction.

To make a long story short, we love the 3-5, had a great D year and a lot of success VS the winged T.especially with our blitz packages

One of the most successful lineups we put up or stemed into was what we call a "tough, nose gap " ----- Both D ends on 3 technique, our nose in the "a" gap toward or away from the wing and our middle LB covering the opposite "a" gap. our other inside LBers played 50's ( outside shoulder of O tackles ) and our Dogs ( outside LBers ) outside the TE or spliting the difference with the corner outside the wing. --- hope this makes sense for you and helps ---- if you need to contact e-mail papnjoan@ yahoo.com Good Luck.
