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.
Does anyone else who runs the 4-2-5/4-4 bring your outside linebackers up on TE's (9 technique in our terminology) in goalline situations or anytime for that matter? What coverage do you play behind it? I am concerned about backs slipping into the flats. Can the outside linebackers get to the flat from this position in time in cover 3? Our other option would be to play cover 0 in which case I'd have to ask the inside linebackers to cover any backs slipping out.
We bring our OLB's on the L.O.S. vs a full house backfield.They have no flat responsibilities when on the L.O.S.We let the CB's cover the flats with QB/backfield action their way,and the FS get the deep third.Opposite CB rolls to the middle of the field.We rush 6-8 guys and say we will get to you before you roll one way and throw it back the other way.As far as goaline goes,our rule is no one aligns in the end zone so sometimes we are on the L.O.S.We do a lot of blitzing and stunting.We will try to take away your best play or two and pray a whole lot.We move our front around a lot.
We also bring our OLB's on the line when in this front. When we bring an LB on a stunt, the OLB to the stunt side has any back out. If the LB is not stunting, the LB has the back out. We usually play man when in this front. Sometimes we will play man-free and have the OLB cover the TE.
