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,
Really like to see how you guys line up to this front. What are your reasons, thoughts and so forth. As a defensive coach, i hate seeing 2 tite. You can say it is 2 tite "I" or fullhouse, whatever. Im just looking for some different ideas with the front.
I think there is a lot you can do. For me, it always depended on what the offense liked to do out of it. The teams I faced liked to try and run the ball of tackle or outside. Therefore, I would not let them get outside. What I used this year is what I called a "diamond" front. This is how it looks.
I would play man with the CB taking #1, the FS taking #2 strong (TE) and SS and W would take back out. The SS and W were taught to turn everything back inside without leaving a huge seam for the back to get through. They would squeeze any kickout while maintaining outside contain. I did a lot of slanting and blitzing with the S and M backer. I hope this helps.
The long accepted axiom that states that when facing a double tite with a Flanker the only CORRECT front is an 8 man front. That is what you see when facing the I formation, for the most part.

If you run a 4-4 with Robber coverage, you can get "10 in the box" because the F/S & W/C can BOTH play a "robber" technique.
If this isn't clear - phone me at 804-740-4479 because it would take TOO MUCH typing to detail (I will list the ROBBER technique below):
ALIGNMENT: 8 yards deep, inside foot back. Cheat over OT to TE side late.
KEY: TE
RUN RESPONSIBILITY: 1. TE blocks down – fill outside. Think toss or power. 2. TE blocks out – think ball away. 3. TE cuts off DE – think A gap.
PASS RESPONSIBILITY: 1. #2 vertical – FS must lock on. 2. #2 drag – FS work over top. Look up #1 – opposite side. 3. #2 flat – look up #1 for curl or post.
WILL LB = 60 OR 90 (OR 9 IF “TIGHT CALL WEAK) ROBBER COVERAGE
S/C = ROBBER COVERAGE (#1)
F/S = ROBBER (KEY STRONG TE #2) LINE UP ON OT YOUR SIDE.
W/C = ROBBER TECHNIQUE (KEY WEAK TE #1). LINE UP IN C GAP YOUR SIDE. NOTE: ON BOOT – COVER WEAK TE IN FLAT BECAUSE WILL MAY BE PULLED INSIDE WITH FAKE; OTHERWISE PLAY THE “ROBBER” TEHNIQUE SAME AS F/S.
There are no "what ifs" to this. Vs THAT personnel group you can line up in it & play it. If they do a bunch of shifts & motions - don't use it! You check out to whatever you wish - usually Cover 1 or Cover 3!!!!!
