Shotgun Wing T Idea

Alright, the attach feature is not working so... I'll explain.

 

Basically it's Wing T sweep, trap, waggle, iso except we're going double tight end, double wing, double QB like in single wing. It's a perfectly balanced formation.

On sweep right the ball is snapped to the left QB, and the guards pull. The Right QB dives to the backside A gap.

Also we motion the wing across to give one extra blocker that doesn't normally exist on Sweep.

On trap the exact same thing happens except instead of the Left QB taking it, the right QB takes it and we run trap. Very similar to the wedge play DC runs out of single wing.

On waggle the Right QB keeps and either throws or runs.

Iso is the only play we don't cross.

That's the commonest way I recall the Wyatt Wildcat being played.

They run a scheme almost exactly like this.

That was very entertaining and looks exactly what Kyle described.

Game plan? I got your game plan. We gonna run the bawl some. We gonna throw the bawl some. We gonna play some defense. We gonna run some special teams, but we better not run kick return but one time and we sure as heck better not punt.

Wyatt started the wildcat with the backs at that classic 1930s-40s double wing depth you see above, then moved them forward to almost Markham double wing depth (approximating the dual/double T), and eventually moved them back to depth again.

I think having the backs positioned forward threatens the defense more, but if you're going to run the inside run as a fullback trap rather than a straight buck, you'd need to cut the center-guard split to be like that of a Markham double wing or the runner would get there too soon.  In 2015 even though I had dual backs at "shotgun" depth I found that the runner needed to delay on trap to avoid colliding with the puller.

Were you expecting the backs to cross the midline or stay on their own side on this series?  If you're expecting them to cross, and you see a lot of odd front, might I suggest, as an alternative to a guard trap, going tackle under guard?

There's a lot of shotgun wing t stuff out there. Saw some reffing high school last year.  Fun to watch when it works lol

I can explain it to you, I can't understand if for you.
