DC--A Wing-T question...
By: Dum Coach
No. I don't mean that. The strong side (TE side) is to the near hashmark. When the refs spot the ball on the hash, then call your fomation to put the TE on it. So if the refs spot the ball on the left hashmark, call "Flip" or "Ends Over" or "TE Over". You're now in position to run off tackle into the near sideline or sweep to the far sidline. Most of the time, the ball is NOT ON THE HASH MARK so you can call whatever formation you want. The reason the ball is seldom on the hashmark is because the only way you can get to the hashmark running 23/24, 36/16, 15/25/45, 21/22, 32/41 is if YOU'RE ALREADY ON THE HASHMARK. And the only way you're going to get on that hashmark is if you run 47/38. You'll only run these plays about four times a game (Run 'em when you need 'em, not when you don't.). You can also get off the hash mark you're on, if you don't like it, by just calling "pass left" or "pass right" away from the hash and do it from the base formation. DO NOT spend much time developing a "left hash" mark offense. It's easier to just move the ball off the hash. All you need is one "left hash" mark play ("TE Over, 33 Quick") to keep 'em honest, and then run right. For me, I run one play from "Ends Over" on the left hash into the sideline. I then call "Flip 48 Speed". To the defense, it looks just like "Ends Over". Now I either just scored a TD or I'm off the hash mark. One or the other. The point is I used my formation to fit the field BUT I DIDN'T SPEND A LOT OF TIME THERE. It's much better to be on the right hashmark then the left. That's because the defense loads the right had side of the field talentwise. When you're on the right hash mark and run left, you're running not only at their worst players but also into 'open area" - Yet the "D" thinks you're going to run right behind the TE. They don't realize that the DC Wing T can run the SE side.
