Welcome

Thank you Coach Bross for setting up this Single
Wing clinic.

Roots of the Power Wing
  • What we call Power Wing was a formation Don
    Markham ran back in 1996. I noticed it on a game
    tape I had of Bloomington vs. Norta Vista.
  • Tape of Markhams and Jr. Marauders Power Wing to
    follow presentation.

The Snap
  • The Tight End does not snap the ball between his
    legs. He keeps his shoulders approximately
    parallel 0 degree angle to the line of scrimmage
    with his left leg offset back.
  • The Tight End turns his head left until he is
    actually looking at the QB, and then snaps the
    ball with his left hand like we did as kids
    playing sand lot football. We have the tight end
    grip the ball like you would throw a pass, and
    then under-hand whip it back to the QB. Some
    people refer to it as a long snap pass.
  • Note The Tight end must snap it back with some
    velocity or the QB could get run down from
    behind.

Legalities of the Snap
  • Based on the rules (R4 S30 A9 and R4 S30 A14),
    theres nothing that would indicate that the snap
    is illegal. As long as the snap is a quick and
    continuous backward motion of the ball during
    which the the ball immediately leaves the hands
    of the snapper and touches a back or the ground
    before an A lineman the snap is legal. There is
    no requirement that the ball be snapped between
    the snappers legs.

9
Learning Curve
  • Since we run the same patterns in both formations
    the learning curve for the QB, receivers, and
    backs is small.
  • The blocking for the line is the same as
    PITCH/TOSS/SUPERPOWER (Double Wing Talk), so the
    learning curve for the line is small.
  • The line must work on getting set quickly, (Tight
    End first then Right Tackle and so on down the
    line), thus allowing the defense only a minuscule
    amount time to adjust.

10
The Reverse
  • We run Power Wing until the defense over shifts,
    or until the the defense sells out and brings the
    corner and or end to chase from behind.
  • We then hit them with Power Wing reverse.
  • The reverse is an inside hand off that is run
    inside, so the FB and WB would kick out hard
    chargers and we would run inside them.

The Bunch Attack
  • Last year Ted Seay, turned many onto the The
    Bunch Attack Using Compressed Formations In the
    Passing Game (Andrew Coverdale and Dan Robinson).
  • These compressed formations in my opinion are
    perfect for both the Power Wing and Double Wing.
  • We run the Mesh route package from both
    formations

Power Wing Bunch Jet Sweep.
  • One play that we want to try this year is the Jet
    Sweep out of this formation .
  • Send Wing Back in motion across the formation
    then Tight End direct snaps to him.
  • Wing Back has a full head of steam at the snap on
    the outside of the formation .
  • The Wing Back should be off to the races.

Why we use this formation.
  • This type of snap is much simpler to teach than
    the indirect-snap.
  • We have found this to be a good formation in
    bad/cold weather, due to the snap being so easy
    (No fumbles).
  • The great thing about this formation is the
    versatility of not needing a true QB to take the
    snap. So we let the linemen run the ball from
    this formation as a reward.
  • Note If you have a left handed Tight End, you
    could mirror all of the above plays.
  • Its a fun formation for the kids to run.
