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.
When facing a 4 tech (head up on tackle), most of what I read is that the quarterback reads the 5 tech area. The 4 tech squeezes the zone step off. tackle, and no one is showing in the 5 tech area, are you telling your qb to give or keep. There should be one defender accounting for the qb, either the inside lb or the outside lb. I would think that there should be some patience in letting the play develop as well. Defenses in question: 33 stack and 34. What are you teaching your qb's.

if we get a 4 technique we will take the read out to the 9 technique and then zone with tackle and guard working a fast rotating zone scheme. Coach CAmpbell
What if they are in a 33 stack and there is no 9 tech, just a 3x5 or 4x4 Dog Backer? Would you then read the LB? Wouldn't this pretty much always result in a give read? Maybe I am lost - I am with MadMat, heads up 4 techs are a difficult read - it killed us at our team camp in June. Thanks for any more help you can give.

with a head up 4 tech it would be advisable to slot the tight end and run the read into the slot or duece the 4 tech with the guard and tackle and run the option read off the 9 tech. Would like to discuss this topic further and will look forward to helping. Coach CAmpbell
Here's what we dealt with at camp. We scrimmaged a 33 stack team 5 or 6 times. Their front three were not two gap, stimulus/response type players - they slanted strong or weak on every snap. Most of the 33 teams in this area use this same approach. Here's the problem - in our zone read play - we are telling our Oline to leave the backside ELOS unblocked and our QB will read him. What we ended up doing against this team was having our QB read the 5 tech area. If the DE slanted into B gap, the 5 tech area was vacated telling QB to keep - if the DE slanted out into C Gap, the QB recognized this and gave the football. This ended up being a relatively easy adjustment.
However - it made things much more difficult on our BST because now instead of scooping to BS stacked LB, he was now picking up a slanting DE as he took his zone step. Also, when we pulled and they blitzed the LB stacked over the BSDE, we lost our number advantage and QB got a headache. We ended up running it out of trips/1 back gun and cracking that LB with our #3 receiver. We always run bubble with our "pitch" guy in our zone read - so this worked, however it seemed like it was the ONLY way we had success with the play. It was frustrating.
BTW - our #1 set to run the play is Doubles 1 back. We run our backside slot receiver on a bubble route instead of getting in pitch relationship. This puts invert safeties and/or Dog backers in a bind. They can't slowplay us. If they try to slowplay, they will never recover to the bubble. The only problem with this is when they blitz - our QB Occasionally gets a headache. We have a good one though - you have to in order to run it like this.
Let me know if any of this makes sense - I am way better at drawing or talking than typing, so I will understand if this makes no sense. Thanks.
