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,
Here is what we normally teach our ILBs for their reads:
1. read near back-- step laterally with his initial step.
2. attack gap to which you are responsible if flow your way or away from you.
3. if initial step is at you, fill hard into your gap.
Each ILB is responsible for a gap if flow is to him. They are responsible for a different gap if flow is away form them. We teach them to fit off of the DL. Our DL squeeze down hard with any down block, etc.
We teach them to fill open windows, also.
Here is my question (s).
Everythig is OK when facing an I backfield.
Who do your ILBs read if
T?
wing-t?
gun with one back
gun with 2 backs?
one back QB under?
Is it simplier to just read guards?
thanks
If you can "stop the run", the offense becomes predictable.
#1 Defensive Philosophy (ILB reads MUST be tied in with the front, etc. vs run).
#2 ILB reads MUST be tied in with pass coverage (for EXAMPLE - in MAN - they HAVE to read the man they are assigned to).
#3 Depending on HOW you play the forcing unit (front 7 or front 8) - "Fast Flow reads" are normally off backs & ball (IF you read a back - read the one that takes you to the P.O.A the HIGHEST % of the time according to scouting report). "Slow flow reads" are normally off uncovered O-Linemen (& the ball).
The BEST SINGLE KEY in the game of football is ALWAYS the BALL because if the BALL doesn't cross the GL - the other team CAN'T SCORE (if you lose sight of the ball "stay at home")!
