Eagle Package 2011 YDWIII - Gregory Double Wing

Why Use a Spread Package• I often get this question from DW coaches. Why use a spread packagewith the DW?– The answer for me is pretty simple. The beauty of the DW offense is how we approachour attack at the defense. We want to compress our formations by compressing thesplits and the eligible players and present ten gaps that force the defense to cover a lotof gaps in a very small area. Defenses often don’t operate as well in small spacesespecially when we can bring more players to the hole than the defenders have todefend that hole and the rest of the field. With the addition of misdirection and playaction pass it allows us to attack the entire field while we keep the defense compresseddefending our power running game. The approach is often very alien to most defenses.– This creates opportunities to make big plays!– It allows us to change our tempo of attack at a moments notice!– It makes us diverse and often our initial approach forces defenses to defend us verydifferently from other offenses. This allows us to mix in more common approaches(spread) and maximize their advantage while the defense is fixed on stopping our baseapproach.
