PHOTO COPY AND CREATE PLAY SHEETS 2 X 3 QB Y 4 USA Football Playbook 2 The Double Wing is a powerful run-based formation that has had a strong record of success at the youth through high school varsity level. The Double Wing scheme uses a balanced formation for a series-based attack which looks to overwhelm the defense at the point-of-attack with more blockers then they have defenders. Its core play is an off-tackle run called Super Power, Toss and a host of other names. This off-tackle play looks to pry a hole open by kicking out the outside defenders, seal the inside defenders and have a double team block at the point-of-attack. The Double Wing forces the defense to respect the power run game and in doing so open up the misdirection/counter game. This scheme uses a complex blocking scheme where offensive linemen pull and trap. Hiding the football, elaborate fakes and crossing runningbacks are all staples of this attack. Double Wing Scheme Overview USA Football Playbook 3 PLAYSIDE GAP: A blocking rule that tells the offensive player to block the first down lineman in the gap towards the point of attack. ON: Same as Man On. MAN ON: A blocking rule that tells the offensive player to block the down lineman who is directly over him. MAN AWAY: A blocking rule that tells the offensive player to block the first down lineman away from the point of attack. the Center. FIRST LINEBACKER INSIDE (FBI): A blocking rule which tells the offensive player to block the first linebacker to his inside which is towards DOWN THE TRACKS: Is a blocking rule that has the offensive player block the first player away from where the play is designed to go. are based on this starting position. For example, 6 o’clock is directly behind the QB. CLOCK: Refers to location where the QB will step to. When the QB is under Center that is considered 12 o’clock and all of the remaining numbers BANANA ROUTE: The angle that the FB runs when kicking out the defensive end. The route looks like a banana. including the gaps on either side of him. If multiple players are trying to run through then he gives priority to the inner most defender. Used exclusively for pass blocking. AREA: Blocking rule that states that a player will block any defender trying to get through his “area” which is defined as the space between and Glossary 9 7 5 3 1 0 2 4 6 8 USA Football Playbook 4 We will number the holes to the right of the Center with even numbers and holes to the left with odd numbers. In order to have all of the offensive players understand where the desired point of attack is we assign a number (“hole”) to a specific offensive player, not the space in between players. This is a key difference between the Double Wing and most other offensive schemes. For example, a play ran to the “4 hole” means that the runningback is going to run to the inside hip of the right tackle. Using this numbering systems makes play calling vastly easier and allows the offense to understand where their assignments are in relation to the point of attack.
