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.
DE – 9 Technique. Take 1 step across & come inside to force. Pitch on option. Contain pass rush (take B across your face on screen/flare/etc.).
DT – 4 Technique. Slant OR Pinch with “Rip” technique:
A) “Slant” call TO your side = Rip across OT’s face with backside forearm & put your outside shoulder to TE’s inside hip. QB on option.
B) “Pinch” call, or, “Slant” call AWAY from your side = Rip across OT’s face with backside forearm & put your inside shoulder to OG’s outside hip. Dive on option.
NOSE – 0 Technique. Slant with same technique as DT’s. On “Slant” call you usually will slant to the OG on the call side (usually TE side). On “Pinch” call – the MLB will give you the direction. Dive on option.
MLB = Stack behind the Nose. Key Fullback in I (or single back in 1 Back set). Take A Gap responsibility opposite Nose’s slant. Dive on option.
OLB’s = Align in C gap. Take a read step with inside foot & read Tailback (or back away if not an I).
A) “Slant” away from you, & “Pinch” – basic C gap responsibility. QB to Pitch on option.
B) “Slant” to you – B gap responsibility. Dive on option.
