[QUOTE="takethepoints, post: 439540, member: 265"] I played on a single wing team in college and we never did this. But … The way we did it the QB, who called the plays and signals, lined up about a yard behind the guard on the called strong side and, as was said above, normally was a blocking back. However, we also had several plays where the QB would line up on the center's leg to the strong side and place his hands where he could get a direct snap. The ball would either be hiked directly to the tailback, as usual, [I]or[/I] the QB would get the snap and either toss it - just like in the film - or run with it himself - we had a double option to the TB on those plays with the FB as a lead blocker - or drop back and pass it. As you might guess, this led to all sorts of confusion on the other side of the ball. Usually, we would just run the TB up the middle; he was drafted by the Falcons later and was usually bigger and faster then anybody on D. But having those QB plays was a real help at times. The single wing isn't used much anymore, but it is a very deceptive offense when the coaches know how to use it. [/QUOTE]
