The double wing offense is one of the true classic football attacks. It is as fundamental to the football run game as the alphabet is to reading.
Vintage concepts such as:
- Building a wall
- Changing blocking schemes while not changing the point of attack
- Empowering offensive linemen by allowing them to call blocking assignments
...are just a few of the considerations touched upon in this video by longtime Wilmington IL High School head coach Jeff Reents. Coach Reents has managed to tweak this classic offense and bring it fully into the modern era, and he shows how he's done that in this video. In fact, his team just won the 2021 IL 2A State Championship using the very same concepts taught in this video!
