Empty Sets with Wings – Outflank the Defense – Pat Murphy

This session explores how to outflank defenses using gap-scheme concepts within the shotgun Wing-T. Drawing from experience at Seaside High School, Coach Murphy demonstrates how shifting from zone schemes to gap blocking transformed offensive production, taking the team from two wins to eight and boosting scoring dramatically. This talk emphasizes simplifying schemes for inexperienced players, adding empty sets to maximize athletic talent, and introducing high-percentage plays like the tackle trap to create immediate offensive improvement.
