Merging the fast tempo & deception of the Under Center Wing-T offense with the slick read options out of the Pistol formation, Stewart’s Pistol Wing-T offense is an up tempo, multiple formation offense that’s primary purpose is to put defenders in conflict. THE PISTOL FORMATION moves the QB back 3 yards and the FB stays behind him. ¨ BACKFIELD STEPS ARE THE SAME as traditional Wing-T. ¨ EASIER TO PASS as QB can read defense “The 3 yd alignment is a “happy medium” between under center (allowing TB to hit the LOS the quickest) and the 5 yd alignment (giving QB most time to make his reads).” In addition to running the offense for 12 years, I have corresponded with hundreds of coaches running the offense and have installed the offense at over 100 schools in 48 different states. This youth manual is a culmination of the many updates and wrinkles to this exciting offense. There are THREE versions of every play: 3rd and 4th GRADE: No pulling linemen.
