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.
We are playing a team that runs the double wing and few coaches here in another forum stated that they have their d-linemen bear crawl to their gaps. I am confused here...I take it that the d-linemen does not get his hands on the offensive linemen? Also should we coach them to be looking for the ball or is their first responsibilityto plug their gap and keep the linemen off the linebackers?

My old team used to see a lot of double wing formations. We taught our guys to bear crawl through a combination of the A/B gaps. Usually to the side the WB or FL motions to.
In a 4 front, we'd have the interior lineman (DT's in a low 4 point stance) crab/bear crawl through and tell them to keep their head up and just grab the first set of legs they came to. The idea is to majorly disrupt and throw off the timing in the backfield. The double wing, if run correctly is largely based on timing. It is a Wing-T set. If you can get your guys through and disrupt that timing, the offense is going to have a hard time executing. Watch out for the counter though if only stunting to the motion side. If your in a 4-4 or 4-3 defending double wing, I have always taught my OLB'S the golden rule as: if motion comes to-you go thru ---motion goes away-you stay----you have to have the OLB's step up and blow the play up when motion comes to their side. If motion is away, sit and read. Hope this helps. It's just the way I've done it in the past with success. I'm sure others have had success using other set-ups.
Good luck coach.

Whenever you get a defense that likes to Bear crawl it is good if it is in an offense to go to the gun because it makes the defenders play up. Coach CAmpbell
