Double Wing & I Wing - Counter Plays

Misdirection is what makes the Double Wing and I-Wing dangerous once a defense starts chasing the sweep, and Clovis East head coach Tim Murphy devotes this session to the counter game. He teaches the plays that keep a defense guessing for four quarters - the ones that turn an over-aggressive linebacker or a crashing end into an explosive gain. Every play comes with its key points, special adjustments and the blocking scheme that makes it go.

What you'll learn

• The Counter - coaching points, adjustments and full blocking rules
• Tackle Trap - how to influence the front and get a hat on the right defender
• The Reverse - backfield action, timing and perimeter blocking
• Counter variations: Counter Short, Counter Long and Counter Deep
• Tackle Trap Influence and how it changes the defender's read
• Reverse Log Deep and Reverse Pitch and Give
• How the counter package ties back to the base Double Wing run game to keep defenses uncomfortable

Who it's for

Youth and high school offensive staffs running the Double Wing or I-Wing, and coordinators in any tight, misdirection-based run offense looking for counters that punish fast-flow defenses.

About the coach

Tim Murphy was head coach at Clovis East High School in California, where his Double Wing and I-Wing attack was built on ball control, timing and misdirection.

Coach Murphy walks through every play and variation, then shows press box and end zone angle cut-ups of the plays so you can see the misdirection work against live defenses.
