Wing Flex Offset Wk

Wing Flex Offset Wk is a 12 personnel Shotgun set that splits its two tight ends into very different jobs. One tight end aligns as a wing just off the edge of the tackle, and the second is flexed off the line into a detached slot. The running back is offset to the weak side of the quarterback. Most Shotgun sets that use 12 personnel either stack both tight ends in the core or split them wide into empty looks. This alignment keeps a true blocker attached to the formation and turns the flexed tight end into a receiving threat who forces the defense to declare how it will match him. The two wideouts stay outside, so the flex can work the seam, the flat, or the middle hook against linebackers and safeties instead of corners.

The offset weak back is what gives the set its gadget identity. His alignment sets up Inside Zone Split, HB Power, and Read Option away from the wing. It also puts him in position for Redzone HB Scissors, HB Slip Screen, and Mtn PA Fk Screen Scissors, where the play action sells one direction and the ball goes back the other way. The wing tight end can arc or kick out the backside edge on zone and power concepts, which gives the run game a sixth blocker without leaving the Shotgun.

The passing menu is built around RPOs and play action. RPO Peek Slant, RPO Zone Peek, RPO Power Peek, Mtn RPO Buck Peek Slant, and Mtn RPO Alert Bubble let you read a conflict defender and punish him either way. PA Dagger, PA Verts Comeback, Four Verticals, and Seams Z-Under stress the deep middle once linebackers start triggering on run fits. Because defenses usually answer 12 personnel with base or nickel, the flexed tight end regularly draws a linebacker in man, and the outside receivers see softer shells on vertical concepts.
