During our second season of running the Double Wing we decided to look into running the Wildcat. It was simple to line up in. Our fullback took a step to the right and our quarterback lined up side by side with him. They both crouched down like they were fielding a ground ball and center just made soft, low and blind snap. The back getting the ball simply reached out and "picked it off." We didn't run it very much that season, but we were loaded that year and we toyed with it here and there. We really got some use out of it in the Super Bowl, as our sophomore fullback had a monster game and was named MVP. Back to back state championships. What a season. The only problem is that we would be real young the next season as the horses had graduated. When the next season came around we figured we would run some Wildcat. We never imagined how important it would become for us. During the second game of the season our center took a cheap shot to the knee. He was injured and we did not have a center with his ability on the roster. It was time to put the Wildcat in and try and get by without him. We founded the biggest backup available and after a couple of practice snaps we were ready to roll. During the off-season I had decided to change up the Wildcat a bit after seeing some Single Wing material. On just about every play we would motion one wing, have both backs turn toward each other and spin nearly 360 degrees, while the other back faked Counter Criss-Cross action with the other back. In looked great on paper, but we would see if it worked during the upcoming game. Well, we ran it nearly 90% of the game and rolled to a 35-6 win. The Spinner was born. We scored over 50 points in each of the next two games. Our Spinner center ended up quitting the team and luckily our starting center was back. We became pretty balanced running our base DW and the Spinner. Read an article on the Spinner at http://www.directsnapfootball.com  Download the Direct-Snap playbook HERE. |
