Wing T Blocking

g From the early 1950's period when the Delaware wing-T came into pminece with the University oif Iowa winning the National Championship, these were the blocking rules. THey will apply to 90% of the defenses you run against.
Terminology:
Holeman- the man whose inside gap(the hole) through which the runner will run
First man inside- first lineman inside the hole man
First man outside- first man outside the holeman
Second man outside- second man outside the hole man

These labels will chanage as the running lane changes with the play calls.

Hole man rule: I lok to my pos(inside man) If there is a man on him I lead block on him.
If there is no man on him, I influence the man on me(feinting a reach block) and block out on the first man.

First man inside says: If there is a man on me I will post block that man. If there is no man on me , I will block down on the first man inside.

First man outside the hole man says: I always crack back on the first linebacker in or across the hole


Second man outside the holeman says: I always block on the first linebacker outside the hole.

You have an offside pulling lineman to trap the player that remains.

These will cover tackle to takle plays trap plays and the sweep.

When you run the sweeps, the near HB j blocks on the defensive perimeter man. The TE moves upfield and blocks inside out on the CB, the backside End tries to get to the Safety for a cutback, The onside guard will pull deep around the end outside in on linebaker flow, Backside guard will shallow pull to pick up blitzing LB in the ABC gaps then move upfield sealing to inside. And the tackle reaches the man on or near.

It sounds like a lot, but with oral repetition it can be mastered and you can confront any defense with a sense of organization that does not change
In a balanced line
The center will only be first inside
The guards will only be holemen,
the tackles can be holemen and first outside,
the ends can be holemen, first outside and second outside.

When you start with the optionss its open season. Are you going to leave amn unblocked, two men unblocked, triple option, speed option. That is really the HC's call. Just watch listen and learn. We have all been there.
