COACH WYATT'S TIPS

E-MAIL YOUR QUESTIONS OR SUGGESTIONS. GLAD TO HELP IF I CAN...

BUT, PLEASE... IDENTIFY YOURSELF - FIRST AND LAST NAME AND WHERE YOU'RE FROM

Maybe it's the influence of the Web and its culture of anonymity, but it used to be that everyone knew that it's common courtesy to identify yourself when you call someone on the phone - or to sign your name when you write. As a coach, I learned long ago to hang up on anonymous callers and to throw away unsigned mail. I don't do anything anonymously, so I won't take the time to reply when won't let me know who they are.

But I do answer my mail, so if you've written to me with a question and you haven't received an answer... please go back and read what you wrote. Did you identify yourself? Did you sign your name?

193. What are your thoughts on running Super Power to the short side of unbalanced? For example Over Tight 99 Super Power Under Tight 88 Super Power

It is an excellent play to the short side - mainly when a defense adjusts to the unbalanced (which seldom happens, by the way)

The logic behind the “On/Off” call is the same, but we may have the wingback make it, rather than the tackle, because the wingback is more familiar with the whole thing. Unlike when a man has to be "ON" the TE for us to double-team him, in this case, unless the defender is clearly outside the tackle, we usually like to double-team him.

It is also a good play to run to either side from Spread (Double Split) formation, except that I without any tight ends to cut off chasers, I advise running Super "O" and pulling only the backside guard. I don't advise pulling the tackle as well as the guard, or you might have trouble being run down from the backside.
