Offensive line a little weak

Question
I have been coaching for about 6 years now.  I have moved up from Peewee to Bantam level.  The offense I run is either a Wing or Wishbone.  Most of my plays are the same.  The problem I have is my line keeps getting blown out when the defense runs a 6-2 defense on us.  We have tried passing from a shotgun and our QB only has about a second to get the ball thrown.  If the defense is in a 6-2 they are lining the gaps.  Then I also have to worry about a blitz from the other 2 guys.  I know if I have that many guys rushing in people say throw it.  
1. What can I teach the line to reduce the defense's chances on blowing my offensive line out.  I have told them to jam the middle but the defense still gets through.
2. Should I run sweeps with a pulling guard? But wouldn't that open up the line for the defense to come through?

Offensive line blocking have been our biggest problem in the the Rec League.  We have always face opponents that have rushed everyone in.  I am trying to utilize a passing scheme out of those formations to try to spread the defense out more, but our center gets killed (ran over).  Hopefully you can shed some light on my problems.

Answer
Chris,

You have a great question and its going to be a pretty long answer. I am coaching my son's youth team 9-10 year olds and I see the same type of defenses. Either a 50 look with the center and both guards covered and backers walking up in one or both A gaps or a 6-2 look with defensive players in gaps.

Basically the defense is trying to blow up the play inside out before the qb can get out from under center. In over 20 years of coaching high school and college football I never saw a front like this because it is so unsound and with experienced players you could kill it. We also run the wishbone and flexbone offense right now with alot of option and wing t elements to it.

Listen, I am trying to think how best to explain this to you in an email but it is tough. Feel free to give me a call and I will flesh out how we decided to handle this stuff. Once we made our adjustment after our first game 2 years ago we have won 23 straight games and a conference championship.

I am available to speak with you this morning or in the afternoon after 2:00pm. My office number is 215-672-2250. I can help you and it will be easier to do this over the phone.
