The Wing-T offense has withstood the test of time.  It is not just a formation or a collection of plays.  It is a system that uses Look-A-Like backfield actions and blocking techniques to put defenders in conflict.  When run correctly, the defense is never right because the Wing-T uses the defender’s techniques against them.

This podcast explains how the defenders are put in conflict by using a sequence of plays.  Every play in the sequence attacks different parts of the defense on every single play. Rick Stewart goes through all 5 families of the Wing-T to also show that play calls are based on defensive reactions instead of down and distance.

Rick Stewart has been a high school head coach for 18 years and has used the Wing-T to take four losing programs to the playoffs.  His 2019 team rushed for over 6,300 yards in Pennsylvania.

One of the beauties of the 425 defense is the divorced front concept.  The 4 D-linemen and 2 Linebackers are completely independent or divorced from the back 5 defensive backs.  This podcast talks about the unique alignments of Rick Stewart’s READ & REACT 425 Defense.

The four down linemen in the READ & REACT  line up head up in 4, 0, 4 technique alignments.  Although they initially are lined up the same as a 3-4 defense, their reactions, and techniques are the same as a traditional even front once the ball is snapped.
