Wing-Bone: Implementing The Wing-Bone Option

Coach Ron Aydelott builds his Wing-Bone offense to make defenses play assignment football and spread defenders out, and the option game is Riverdale's change of pace. It takes practice time and a disciplined quarterback, and in this session he installs the base plays for the Inside Veer, the Outside Veer and the Mid-line Option position by position. "Implementing the option game into everyday play can be done with any offense," he says.
