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.
Those of you using cover 3, how do you adjust your DB's when the QB rolls and they flood the zone? I have my guys doing the following:
Playside C: Contact any deep route and come up to play flats
Playside OLB: Blitz QB outside in
Playside ILB: get depth look for crossers go to the edge of zone
FS: Take over deep 1/3 in direction of roll
Backside ILB: get depth look for crossers go to edge of zone
Backside OLB: get depth look for cross go to edge of zone, look for cut back
Backside C: Take over deep middle
we don't play a true cover 3 but rather run a coverage were we have our secondary read flow if flow is too them then the corner on that side becomes force flat defender and the rest of the secondary rolls to halves....If if is drop back then they drop to thirds..... Takes a little time too perfect but has been successful for us against teams that are 2x2 and very run heavy(double tight double wing)
We used to be in a PRE-ROTATED Cover 3, & on SPRINTOUTS BEYOND THE OT BOX - the men would slide (no more than 5 yds) in the DIRECTION of the sprintout. NOTE: The Corner to the SIDE of the sprintout never gets too close to the sideline unless the ball is in the air!
We have run the 44 for 20 years. Last year in the playoffs, many teams flooded the strong side- 3 routes-short, medium and long. What we have done was let the ILB to that side who is in hook to curl, run with the 10 yard out or whatever they have. We have done a good job with this and made them go back to running the ball out of trips, etc. 9 times out of 10 we man up back side and stunt the line to one back formations. Leave me an email address if you want to talk about other adjustments we do in the 44 to the flood. Good luck.
