I was working on "almost" same formation, and I to avoided calling it wildcat, only because football announcers name any and every thing wildcat. Hadnt picked out a name yet but I was thinking of
Gun-T.
I was using Te, SE, W/ 2 Slot or double wing backs, QB and FB side by side. Both wings would be 4 steps outside of tackles outside foot (usually) if theres a TE or not. This way I can jet sweep both sides, I can run counter to both sides, I have a quick scissors reverse between the wing backs or a true reverse running the SE. The counter is also good from this. The TE will be in tight 12" +/-, GAP = nasty split, 2 steps about 5 ', or split = same as SE about 6 yards wide. QB & FB 3 to 3 1/2 yds from ball. I have 4 receivers available right now! With motion I can create trips right or left. This O all but forces D into a cover 2 look and if they dont respect the pass enough Ive completed passes all over field
...........................5..O.O.C.O.O.....................6
....................3.................................4
.....................................1.2
I chose the above as base formation because
A) 3 is my best sweeper of the 2 wings
B) 4 is the best blocker of the 2 wings
C) kids carry ball naturally in right hand, this puts ball, when running sweep right away from D
D) my QB is right handed and rolls out to right and passes better than his roll out to left
E) this is ass backwards from what most teams run with a TE on right as base
I was thinking of running 3 series of plays
JET SERIES
-jet sweep
-jet counter
-jet scissors reverse
-jet SE reverse
-jet power (motioning back KO defender outside of designated hole
-jet FB trap or wedge
-jet fake FB dive QB 13/14 counter trey pulling backside G & T
-jet blast = DCWT midline, (4 back lines up tighter)
SPINNER
this will be my optional series lots of XX action, great misdirection, this may be a que or tag I add to plays so maybe not so much its own series just an alternate way of running some plays believe it or not this is excellent to pass out of as the D doesnt see ball for a a second or two and receivers are running routes with LB's and safety(s) not knowing its a pass yet.
OPTION, still working on X's & O's but belly, lead and speed options
-belly with or without motion, give/keep read by QB, may be with or against motion
-lead, with or with out motion, FB lead blocks for QB thru designated hole and will use playside wing to pitch to, or fake a pitch to when called.
FYI: This style of option I had 9 yr olds running it "OK" within 15 minutes to left and right. Trying to time up a motioning wing I noticed right away made play clumsy and less accurate, but using the playside wing as the pitch man MAN OH MAN boys had it down FAST!! and the DE was really in a pickle.
oddly enough my boys starting calling this play "pickle" so they said Pickle left/right because the DE was always bouncing back and forth trying to make a read.....he found himself in a pickle like being stuck between bases in baseball. I might just name it that, because the kids named it and it fit perfectly in describing what the play did to the DE............sadly enough my players LOVED the pickle play, asked to run it every practice after this bried introduction then every week in practice and in games the rest of season. Never was in 1 game because HC didnt want/allow pitching or tossing of anysort!!
When I had the right players in backfield I would call it in our practices vs starting D....we torched them with it 50% of the time!!!! and this was with 15 minutes of practice and then 1 or 2 minutes here and there for rest of season...sad I think I could of won a game we lost with just this 1 install!!!
oh and HC when running starting D would tell me not to run our option "were never going to see that at this age so why waste practice time with it" well we saw it only a few times in 2nd round playoff game. DE bit on QB, pitch and 15 yds twice and a 4 yd TD run thge 3rd time the other team ran it..we lost. The option didnt beat us but if thats all they ran it woulda!!!!!!!!!!!!!
so a power lead option right would be on 2 (alla DCWT) and the backside wing will KO EMLOS and FB will LEAD up thru (with a pulling G usually) or power belly will fake a FB dive to backside A gap and pull G & T
ohhh man my head is spinning with all the potential....
