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.
I have recently scrapped our Gap control method for our DL (due to a lack of aggressiveness at the point of attack). I have now gone to a full slanting method (we run a 50 front) to attack the gaps. I am wondering if anyone has any coaching points, drills or tips on how to best exploit this change. We have gained a measure of aggressiveness on our approach to attacking the offense (instead of standing up and getting either driven back or double-teamed) but I would like to get more bang for the buck. If any of you also run any DT or NG tilt technique, I would also like to get your input as well.
If you are slanting to the left: step w/ your left foot (aim for the inside hip of next down lineman), simultaneously step with your right foot while dipping your right shoulder and swinging your right arm to the sky ("rip") They should be so low that they "grab Grass" w/ their rip hand, which protects the backside leg
this is done on the run!!
tell them there is a cliff 1 yard past the heels of the O lineman, and that they must change direction before they get that far upfield.

Root,
Are you slanting your whole d-line every play?? Just my opinion here but I would think once offenses started to notice you slanting every play that they would start to do things to take advantage of what you are doing. If you are set on going completely away from gap control methods then I would definetly teach your kids how to play as a 2 gap defender. This is techniqually still playing gaps but your kids can now aggressivly attack the o-lineman and mirror step him. You could use this technique on plays that you dont slant.
coach, we started as a 2 gap team but our DL was not very big and we felt some of their aggression had been taken out of them. Since then we have slanted or stunted on almost every play out of our 34 look depending on the coverage and it has worked well
