Counter Criss Cross – Tommy Gilleran

This session highlights the philosophy and execution of the Wing-T counter play, a staple alongside the buck sweep, trap, and waggle. Coach Tommy Gilleran explains why the counter remains a critical part of the offense, how it forces defenses to prepare extensively, and the advantages of running it under center for deception and speed. This course also covers adjustments in formations, blocking schemes, and how the counter complements other core plays, giving teams a strategic edge against opponents unfamiliar with defending the Wing-T.
