From single-wing to shotgun option

[Joboots]

I've heard a lot of coaches,including JoePa,that today's spread & shotgun
option attacks ode a lot from the days of the single-wing--here's one site I'd
stumbled on with clips showing how tricky the single wing is-Enjoy the show!

If you know of anyone who played D end, corner or safty against the W F Coyotes of the 50's ask them what they think. It was brutal.

I had the pleasure of playing In WF Rider( and its feeder JH)from 8th grade through my junior year, and went up against the feeder junior high and then Old High and its single wing. It was some of the funnest weeks of practice of the season when we got ready to play them because of the preparation and little nuances. Just follow the guards, it's just like a RB that wiggles and jukes, he's not going anywhere without his bellybutton, and the SW doesn't go anywhere without the guards.

IMO saying the SW is like the spread offense is like saying a Model T Ford is like a Corvette.

Now the concept of having an offense that people have to spend alot of time on preparing is true. I was watching Mike Leach on FSW last night talking about how Baylor's addition of the Air Raid offense will now give opponents 2 times a year to see it. That was one of the reasons we usually played Old High better than other schools, because we knew the reads inside and out, and other school just saw them that year.
Thanks for the link. that brings back some memories!

We ran that when I went to high school in The Woodlands. We called the wing, the flanker. Man, on that clip the defense did a crappy job of adjusting.

Oh, a hake I don't think you ran this W. F. coyotes wing. The QB was a blocking back, the other three backs were fullbacks they had 6 pulling guards and 3 tight ends. Looked like a hay binder coming around end.

No, it was not exactly like on the film; but the idea was there.

Ok feelthehaka, count the players on my previous post.

there's no need to go back to the 50's. the coyotes ran it well into the 70's and maybe the 80's. they played in the state championship game vs sa lee in the late 60's joey aboussie and ronnie littleton.

Yes dragon, Permian beat aboussie and littleton but I saw a game in 55 or 56 and that just stuck in my mind. I may have remembered it, because I was buying wiskey for my grand dad (in Okla.) and stopped to see the game.

The reason I ask feelthe haka to read the number of players on my previous post. I listed 13 players, he was to answer you had 13 players on the team. I would have replied, I told you they were rough!

Talk about a string killer!:
