I've coached in the Wing-t for about 8 years at different places. One thing that I've noticed is that some block the waggle differently. My question is this........What do most of you do with the center? Do you pull both guards? FB in flat or blocking (we send him in the flat regardless, but it seems to open up some holes)? Coach Metz you seem to have a great grasp on the Waggle. What is your philosophy? Thanks

Coach,
I have the C block on-away. The FB and PST are responsible to the PS A-gap. My FB is supposed to make a read on the LB'er. If there's a blitz, create a collision, if no blitz, run the flat route. Now, if they are playing a shaded PS-1tech, We may consider that an On block, depending on the situation, but most of the time he doesn't get the QB because he ends up trying to pick up the FB and the realizes he doesn't have the ball.

Coach Metz,
Lets assume we are playing a 4-3 type defense. And say we get a 2 tech. playside and backside......Am I correct in saying that your center will block back and the playside tackle will block down on the 2 tech.? What do you tell your fullback? Is he checking the Mike or the Will? I realize that part of our problem is we send the FB out into the flat regardless. Thanks

Coach,
Under that scenario, yes, C will block BS2 and PST will block the PS2. I want my fb to check the Mike for a blitz. Since, the PS2 is in the FB's path, I want my FB to brush by him if there is no blitz and then head into the flat. Now, if the PS2 is too fast for my PST and the QB can't outrun him ... then we would make an adjustment of having the FB stay home. Preferably, I would go with belly keep pass.
I found myself trying to do too many adjustments at times when the easier thing was to go with a different play.

Coach Metz,
What about the WLB in a 4-3. What if you get a run-thru? Do you have the backside guard check him? Also, have you ever at the FB wrap around the PST to check the WLB? I do agree with trying to do too many adjustments when it would be easier to go with belly keep pass. Thanks

Coach,
In that situation, the base waggle might not be the best play. Yes, ideally, we'd want the BSG to make the block, but if he's not making the block, the defense shuts down waggle from wing right. Fortunately, there's no rule saying you can't adjust your formations. If they are going to bltiz the WLB, then it might be easier to go with waggle from Slot right. You got the same exact blocking rules, and the QB has the same pattern reads, but the TE and SE switch roles. And now that you've switched strengths, the WLB will now be blitzing away from the flow.

What about the guards? I noticed in your online playbook, psg pulls and kick and bsg pulls and log/seals, which is just the opposite way we block it, does this work better for you or is this an adjustment with gameplan. Thanks.

The diagram is a generic scenario. Assuming the DE is a penetrator, it would be difficult to log him, so that block becomes a kick out block. I tell the guards, if you can't log the Defender, just kick him out, it's up to the QB to make that read.
If the DE sits, it's a lot easier to log him.
That's why his blocking rule is "Pull - kickout/log EMOL," which is essentially the same as you do it.
