D-wing Question

That's my understanding of the motion too; that if you're not moving toward the line at the snap, it's legal.

As far as the wedge, that's just a fake to the FB and then a QB keeper right up the middle correct?

One guy (who is most familiar with the T from playing in High School) said he thinks it looks like to East-West of an offense. I told him you're hitting the hole at full speed via the motion, and that a quick left turn and the back is North-South. I also told him you could always run a dive to the FB to go N-S.

Two other guys were real positive. Each of them gave me some names of local high schools that run the DW. I'll be checking those teams out this year.

But the guy who was most critical is the commissioner for the youth leagues in an adjacent town to me.

He said he saw some school run that against his town's high school last year and the DW team got beat. He said it was so bunched up, toe to toe, and the backfield was scrunched up to the QB, and then they just ran up the middle, up the middle.

He said everyone wondered what the heck they were doing when they had such a weird looking formation anyway. I told him about these coaching sites I go to, and how it's all the rage here, and how a lot of schools are running it. I knew he was against it, but I told him to start watching for it because he would see it more and more. he reminds me of the type who might criticize it initially, but also might go and find out more about it too.

He was the one who, when I showed him the main play diagram, thought it was too complex for kids. And he made me wonder if maybe I could get the play to the right down, but if it would totally confuse the kids to run the same toss play left.
