The Double Tight Wishbone Offense

The Philosophy:

The double tight wishbone’s main concept is running the football every

down to punish the defenders. With adjustments in blocking and running we

can create situations that are unfavorable to the defense at all times. By

having the mass of runners in the center it creates an unbalanced field of 8

verses 7 throughout the entire game. With 6 basic strong running plays

backed by 8 weaker plays and 5 passing plays every game can be won.

Player Requirements:

The Quarterback must be a very good athlete but not necessarily the best.

He does not even need to have the best throwing capability. He needs to be

fast, smart, talented, and deceptive.

The Backfield needs to be explosive and very tough. Each player must have

the ability to run hard and block. The fullback needs to be the toughest of

the three but not necessarily the biggest.

The Linemen need to have 2 things: Heart and Speed. This offense is very

friendly to the linemen in the fact that it is easy to remember and there are

not very many plays. The center needs to be the best all-around lineman,

followed by the tackles that need to be exceptionally fast.

The Tight Ends need to have the capability of blocking every single down.

They will be needed to run pass routes if needed as well in emergencies.

Player and Gap Numbering:

The numbering system is extremely simple and easy to remember. The

evens are to the right and the odds are to the left. The 0 and 1 holes are

basically the center’s body; the holes 2 and 3 make up the guards’ body and

so on. The quarterback is 1, the fullback is 4, the tight ends are 7 and 6, and

the running backs are 3 and 2.

Where to run?

On a play such as ‘Base 42’ the ball can either go to the outside or inside of

the strong side guard. This will be determined by where the defensive tackle

lines up. If he is in B gap the guard will call “OUT” meaning he will block

out and the play will run inside of him. If the defensive tackle is in the A

gap he will call “IN” meaning he will block inside and the play will go

outside of him. Against a 5 front the guard and tackle block the DT.

On a play such as ‘34 Outside’ the offensive lineman will yell ‘OUT’ if the

end is in the C gap. He will yell ‘IN’ if the tackle is in the B gap. The

backside linemen will do the same thing (in a different order of course) to

throw off the defense so they don’t know which side the play is on. The

backside will be lying to the defense obviously and they will scoop. When

against a 5 front the coaches make the call ‘Inside’ or ‘Outside’.

This will be explained in greater detail later on.

Play Calling:

The first number will be the person who runs or has the ball and the second

number will be where we want that person to go. The only exceptions to

this system are the plays 44(45) and 56(57). Who carries the ball is very

subject to change though. The way a play called is very simple and efficient

when the players have the offense down. Two examples would be:

44 Outside Dive Slant (below)

45 Outside Give (below)

Further Explanation:

In the next chapter there will be more terminology that the line and backs

will use that will enable them to understand the plays fluently. The First

thing mentioned is the play (e.g. 44). The second thing would be where we

want the backs to do (e.g. Outside Give). The last thing mentioned is the

lineman scheme (e.g. Slant). These will be explained later as well. More

examples of plays are as follows:

36 Loop (below)

43 (below)

Terminology of Plays:

There are two forms of terminology to use for the plays of the wishbone in

the huddle. The first type of calls is base calls and used against any defense.

The second type are adjustments set during game time that require

knowledge of what the defense is doing. These will set the offense on the

correct path and are great to use early so adjustments don’t have to be made

so late as half time.

Basic Calls:

Backfield

Base – Run the play normally

Dive – The FB carries the ball

Give – The RB carries the ball

Keep – The QB carries the ball

Inside – The ball carrier is wanted to go inside the base gap

Outside – The ball carrier is wanted to go outside the base gap

Option – Instead of running ISO we run option

Slant – The RB blocks the defensive end

Cover – The RB blocks first man coming at his man (option)

Linemen

Slant – The TE blocks down up field (MAX)

Option – The line blocks the same, but reach more
