Installing Today’s Hybrid Pistol Offense Run & Pass from Top to Bottom
This manual provides you with the full offensive line, receiver, and quarterback mechanics for installing each offensive play presented. Coach Campbell has left no stone unturned for implementing today’s Pistol Offense into your program.
Although we returned two punts for touchdowns and blocked two punts, I felt my punt defense was the weakest part of my game. My kids never got the wall concept so we ended up using a "hold them up at the line" technique. My philosophy is to pressure every kick we face and if we don't block it then we will return it. Anyone have any good schemes that might fit this? I am open to all suggestions.
We number our players from left to right and call two numbers each time. The numbers that are called are the ones that will drop back for fakes. If we do not call a number at all, then it is all out block. If the players rush the punter and the punt is away, then they turn swivel and look for someone to block. The hash determines which side they turn to, and if the ball is in the middle, we try to go to our sideline. We number our players 1 to 0 (zero is 10) across the LOS and have a PR deep. We find that most HS punters will rush the punt and the Punt average will decline.
We call that style of return "Jesse James". We use a punch, wheel and shadow technique, showing 8 or 10 man front depending upon the punt formation. We use a variety of punt block schemes from week-to-week depending upon personnel, formation and get-off time. We are trying to get one player free, while occupying the protector. The punch is to the heels, wheel to the hip, and we run in the shadow. The return is going to run to day light ("free lance"), and the blockers keep their butts between the defender and the returner is a stalk block type fashion.
