Wing-T from the pistol

I will run it from an 11 set like this

X---------------T---G---C---G---T---Y
------------SB------------------------------------------Z
-------------------------QB
------------------------
-------------------------HB

On the snap we will do our normal dive techniques for our HB and the SB (Slot Back) will arc off the butt of the QB either taking or faking a Buck Sweep

Off This we figure to run a whole series Including
Buck Dive
Buck Trap
Buck Sweep
Buck Blend
Buck Waggle Pass
Buck Y around

We will also use this set for Jet series and some option stuff too

Currently I am in the Flexbone at local level however will be installing The Pistol for The Australian under 19's National team for our Junior World Championships Qualifier.


Ok on the Blend The HB goes for B Gap on the strong side. Slot would still take normal sweep motion. TE and T cross block or kick out. Z takes SS and the slot who is on sweep picks up the corner. Basically it is a kick out dive in the B Gap now in our Wing we had the back do a shuffle step then go almost like on a draw but quicker to give the kick out time in Pistol though this may not be necessary though. Sometimes the CB will also take himself out of the play follwing the crack form WR meaning the Back can bounce outside with a lead still once through the hole.

Out of this one formation listed above we will run a Wing-T Buck series a Jet series and an Option series. Then we will have several other looks as well. We find adding the Wing-T stuff form this set means we can mix up several series from 1 look rather than have different formations for each series.

Hope this helps boys.

Guru should I be posting here or on the other board?
