I have this post on the MEGA Clinic discussino board about double wing defense that if you want to know what we do on defending the DW, email me and I will send it along to you. We have sent out close to 300 emails to coaches on the subject.
The vast majority of coaches never email back any details on whether it helped or not. However, I got the following email back from a coach in Iowa:
Thank you for the advice on defending the double wing. I used many of the concepts and incorporated them into our usual 4-4 defense and walking an Lb up on the center to give us the 50 look. He was reading the centers block and blitzing the gap if the center filled for the pulling guard; if the center did not fill then our DT over the guard got through and chased the toss from the backside. Anyway, our varsity D allowed about 140 yards rushing tonight. Our JV came in at the end of the 4th quarter and gave up 87 yards (70 on one play). So our overall stats did not look so good, but when the varsity was in, many of the suggestions you provided worked very well. The team we played has averaged about 300 yards rushing per game this year and last year they ran for around 350 yds on us. We won the game 41-16 and claimed the district championship, qualifying our school for the playoffs for the first time in 28 yrs. I have been at this school for 5 years and the excitement of having a winning football team is really having a positive impact on the school. Thank you for taking the time to immediately answer my email and to help me out in terms of defending the double wing. Have a great weekend and thanks again.
