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.
Hello everyone! I am new to this forumn so please bare with me. We use a tradition 52 alignment with the nose head up over the Center and the tackles over the tackles. We have always slanted using a lateral 6 inch step, and a cross over reach with the arm and hand opposite of the direction we are slanting. The cross over with the arm and hand has kept our shoulders square and low to the LOS. This has however not allowed us to be very aggressive with front 3 DLinemen. This winter we are trying to explore any other technique that other people have used and are successful with. Since this has been our one and only technique for the past 15 years we are open to something more aggressive and attack oriented. Our DLinemen vary in size from 225 down to 140. We like to use wrestlers along the front for their balance and quickness. My email is jgdavis@hotmail.com,,,,, or i use ICQ 78217667, Name Tomlar.
Coach, Good stuff, we are also a 5-2 team and do a lot of slanting versus certain teams. I just put out a video that is on d-line play and slanting, it is on the cover page of this site. When we slant we have 2 different techniques. We will slant to a gap what we call a half man slant. This slant we really attack with. We club rip and try to get a lot of penetration. I can go into more detail if you want. The second slant we do sounds a lot like what you do. We really teach them to attack. Our first step is a laterial 6 inch step. We will line up our d-line on a line and practice just that step. We then do what we call a bannana step with the opposite leg. this step is very important because it will clear you from base, down and cut blocks. We then put the two step together and the kids do it 100% intensity. As we take that bannana step the arm that we are stepping with is getting ready to rip. We tell the kids to bloody their hand because they are going to rub it on the ground with their bannana step. The d-line will react to the offensive blocker. When we slant we react to the offensive man we are slanting to. We tell the kids they can see 4 blocks and rep them on beating these blocks. Base and down blocks are the same, if the o-lineman comes to us we cross-face him. If the blocker goes away we shoot the gap. If he pulls we either shoot or redirect. When we play wing-t teams our kids know pull trap sweep, and pull away from motion waggle pass etc.. The kids are very aggressive because there are only 4 blocks the got to beat and their steps and rip everything is the same with each block. GOLLA
