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.
Coaches, im planning my every day drills for double sessions, I need some of your opinions, what should I keep, what should I change. I want this to be a high intensity, up temp session
Run emphasis
1. take-offs - 15-20 reps. 2-4 minutes
2. leverage drill - 10-12 reps 5 minutes
3. sled 1 step & punch - 14-28 reps, piano drill - 32-60 reps. 8 - 10 minutes
each kid gets about 1000 reps on the sled in fall camp.
4. stimulus response. 10 minutes.
Pass emphasis
1. Rabit Drill - Take off - 5-8 reps
2. Rush angles - hoops or cones - 10-12 reps
3. Gauntlet - 10-12 reps
4. 1 on 1's
What do you guys think? Thanks for any and all help
They say in order to perfect learning, a specific assignment should be repeated a minumum 16 times per practice. The total of 16 reps is over the span of an entire practice. Coach Campbell
Also looking forward to see what the rabbit drill is?
On another note what would you D-line guys say are the best position specific D-line agility drills to start with. I am looking to use only 10 min. for agilities and want to use my time as best as I can. Along with that what are the best tackling drills for the D-line. There are so many tackling drills out there but which would you say are most position specific.
I'm not sure what NewOhioCoach means by Rabbit, but we do a drill that we call Rabbits that is a ball get-off drill. The DL is down in his stance with an OL right in front of him. The OL is crouched down in a "back-pedal" position. Anytime after the "Go" command the OL back pedals as fast as he can. On movement the DL explodes out of his stance shooting his hands to the man. The object is to catch him as soon as possible. We emphasize that the "Rabbit" is not caught until the DL locks both hands on the shoulder pad. It is not just a touch. You can turn it into a competition to see which person can get farther before being caught.
Another variation on this theme is what we call 6-point chase. You start in the same alignment as above except the DL is in a 6-point--toes curled under, butt back on heels, hands on the ground and eyes on target. After the go command the OL does the same thing as in Rabbits. Th DL explodes out of the 6-point, but of course does not have the benefit of using his feet. The objective for the DL is the same-get both hands to the shoulder pads. This emphasizes having a hair trigger and shooting inside hands straight to the pads. The kids will really struggle with this at first, but will get quicker. The DL will quickly learn that if he takes his hands in an arc to the shoulder pads, which is a common tendency, he will never catch the OL, it is hard enough as it is. The analogy of a Cobra striking helps illustrate the point. When a cobra strikes its threat it lashes straight out at it not in an arc.
That is very similar to what I teach. I work off an acronym SPERE (Step, Punch, Extend, React Escape) The thing I truely emphasize is that my kids do everything from a stance. I hate the drills where the kids do stuff from there knees. Last time I checked, we come out of a stance on Friday nights, not our knees. But coach, that looks good. Make sure you are teaching what you believe in!
