Why Pistol instead of Shotgun or Under Center
Being in the Pistol allows your QB to read unblocked defenders.
Now you don't have to call a play, see how the defense reacts, then come back to the answer a few plays later.
The QB makes the defense PAY for wrong decision on that very play
Guard Trap from Pistol Wing-T:
Being part of a bigger system, running guard trap can be a key play for a homerun. In this lecture series, Head Coach Marce Porcello will show us the advantages of guard traps. Learn how to block linebackers quickly, enforce deception, and do 4-man and 5-man fronts trap. Moreso, you can watch their footwork for the different personnel in the field to nail the guard trap.
Never coaching a scholarship players and ALWAYS having players learning both sides of the ball, Stewart is a master at getting maximum reps during a 2-hour practice.
This is NOT a Wing-T video. This will help ANY program be more efficient at practice.
Stewart has coached in a program that had 220 players, a program with 120 players, and two programs with only 50 players.

POWER WING T RUN GAME married to EXPLOSIVE SPREAD PASSING GAME with MIDLINE & VEER as its Mistress
DISCLAIMER: This is NOT a downloadable product. I used to offer that and the book showed up as a Facebook download and on Scribd. It took me over 300 hours to write this book and 8 years running the offense so I do not want this to be a free download on the internet. You will get a dropbox link with tons of drawings & powerpoints when you purchase. I
In addition to running the offense, I have corresponded with hundreds of coaches running the offense and have installed the offense at over 50 schools in 15 different states. This 3rd Edition Playbook contains many updates and wrinkles to this exciting offense contributed by this vast pool of coaching knowledge.
--> Read UNBLOCKED defenders on every play. The QB can turn every run play into Option
--> Easier to pass since QB is 3yards away from Center. Pre & Post Snap Reads? No problem. RPOs? They are in here!
--> Every play has step by step drawings of the backfield footwork
--> Go back under center on any play in case of bad weather or your backup center is in the game.
ORGANIZATION FOR SUCCESS
Forty pages explaining easy to learn terminology, No-Huddle, and how to install the offense. This is a fast offense using 7 different tempos with a hybrid HUDDLE - NO HUDDLE system.
These tempos range from calling the play in the HUDDLE and sprinting to line, running the play in 3 seconds; or waiting to call the play after the defense lines up; or letting the QB “check with me” based on defensive alignment; or running MUSTANG / NASCAR tempo, snapping the ball 1 second after ball is in play.
Several different NO HUDDLE systems are discussed, allowing you to choose the one that is best for your program. Wristbands, hand signals, and sideline cards are all explained in this section.
RUN GAME
Every traditional Wing-T family is covered in this section: Buck); Belly; and Down. There is also Midline and Veer. The Jet & Rocket section shows how to run the entire offense using the flat Jet motion. There are two short yardage packages, a special “check with me” package, and trick plays. The combination plays combine a run play with a perimeter pass play and the QB decides where the ball goes as both plays are being ran.
Detailed diagrams show the backfield steps on every play.
PASS GAME
While I believe that the Wing-T offense is the best high school offense, I also agree with the criticism that it can lack a passing game. But it is the not the Wing-T system that lacks a passing attack, it is the coaches that are refusing or not understanding how to pass.
This Third edition has a completely expanded Pass Section that will show you how to simply attack each coverage in terminology that matches the Wing-T run game using the same concepts used by spread & air-raid systems.
¨ PASS PROTECTION schemes that require very little practice time;
¨ PASS ROUTE concepts in a simple language so a few concepts combined with a few formations gives the defense a lot to worry about;
¨ Three SCREEN concepts that can go to any of your 5 players out of 12 formations;
¨ QUICK passing game that gives your athletes the ball in space;
¨ DROP BACK passing attack putting 4 receivers in routes;
¨ SPRINT OUT off Jet motion putting edge defenders in conflict with the QB run threat.
·
Every pass route is diagrammed versus Cover 1, 2, 3, 4 and man coverages. Stewart shows which concepts are better against each defense.
GAME PLANNING and SCOUTING
¨ Detailed explanations of what to look for when watching opponent’s film.
¨ Flow charts of “If-Then” statements using plays that are most effective vs defenses.
¨ How to call the plays on Friday night so that the defense is in conflict.
