NFL teams have been dabbling in the Single Wing with what they call the “Wildcat” offense. But none has implemented a complete offense… only 3 or 4 plays. Watching Tebow terrorize the Raiders with his running threat, then seeing McGahee shred silver and black gets me excited about the possibilities.

Bill Walsh had this to say about the Single Wing:

Howard Cosell wrote, in his 1991 book What’s Wrong With Sports, “One thing I have found very interesting in my conversation with (Bill) Walsh is that he regretted he never tried the single-wing formation with the 49ers. He felt that Steve Young could have run the formation to perfection, and that the league’s defenses would have had a difficult time stopping the old formation.”

And Vince Lombardi said this:

“What would happen if someone came out with the single-wing offense?” he asked. “It would embarrass the hell out of us.”

Enjoy the deception and power of this wonderful, forgotten offense:
