This document provides guidance on defending the Wing-T offense. It emphasizes self-scouting to understand the opponent's tendencies, knowing the Wing-T's key formations and plays, adjusting defensive keys with a focus on offensive guards, coaching up the scout team to replicate motions and shifts, and utilizing base defenses with minor tweaks rather than major scheme changes. The Wing-T's strengths include versatility and the threat of quick receivers, while its weaknesses include strong formation tendencies that simplify defensive preparation once decoded.
