2LD Defense - Gregory Double Wing

We may choose to stunt from the edges in this situation when they line up in Spread,so we may call one or both Tackle-End Twists (TETs).So there you have it -- how I would plan to shut down the Double Wing offenseof Team X. Without the statistical analysis, I would next like to examine how wewould game-plan for an opponent running the classic unbalanced-line SingleWing.SINGLE WING4 LEFT VS. SINGLE WINGYour Ends must think contain, contain, and more contain. The strong-side Endwill face a machine-gun drill of guards and fullbacks coming at him to kick himout or hook him in, as well as the occasional attempt by the wingback to hookhim on the Sweep. The Strong End crashes through the outside shoulder of thetight end, and "takes a chunk out of him" with a forearm shiver at the snap.This slows pass release and places your End in the best position to defend theoff-tackle hole. I prefer this position to having the End play further outside overthe wingback, because I believe you're asking for trouble by opening up moredaylight between your Strong Tackle and Strong End before the ball is snapped.The Strong End wants to turn everything in, and so maintains his leverageagainst whoever the offense sends to block him by crashing outside-in. Len canhelp by calling "CRACK-CRACK" if he sees the wingback attempting to clip theStrong End; Len is then free to fill outside against the Sweep or Running Pass.The Backside End must turn his initial crash steps into a trail technique at thesame depth as the deepest offensive back, looking for reverses and counters.This offense has few tools for hitting the weak side quickly, so the trailing Endmust be prepared for slow-developing deep reverses.83
