1. Integrating the Double Wing and One-Back Offense
The Pioneer Way
Lewis & Clark College

2. Major in the Majors Spend MOST of your time doing what’s
MOST important.
Pitch, Trap, Scissors, Boot, Reverse
Simplicity + Repetition are greater than
Complexity + Diversion
 Recruit players and offer everyone the opportunity to be involved and important.

3. Numbering, Formations, Terminology System
Same personnel w/ multiple formations or
multiple personnel groups?
“Normal” = 2TE, 2WB, 1FB
“Ace” = 1TE, 3WR, 1FB
“Deuce” = 2TE, 2WR, 1FB
“Jumbo” = 2 TE, 2FB, 1RB

21. Double Wing Play Tag Terms
“Tucson” = Tackle Toss
“Seattle” = Scissors
“Solo” = Pull only BSG on DW Pitch.
Pull only FSG on STR/STL
Scissors.
“Boise” = Boot
“Tampa” = Throwback

22. Passing Tree    Inside breaking routes are EVEN #’s
Outside breaking routes are ODD #’s
0 = behind LOS 1 = arrow
2 = slant 3 = sideline
4 = hitch / curl 5 = comeback
6 = dig / cross 7 = corner
8 = post / seam 9 = fade / go
  

23. Protections DW Play Action – Man Schemes
Turnback (1st uncovered) – “Lucky” / “Ringo”
Full Gap / 3 step – “Black” / “Orange”
“Big” keeps BSTE in to block.
“Max” keeps both TE’s in to block.
Protection Terms with “L” and “R” tell FB which
direction to go – linemen know “opposite back”.
