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.
The past five years I have been a part of triple option football. 4 as a quarterback and one as a coach. I understand triple option pretty well and think that I am a pretty good teacher to young qbs and rbs. I have been scratching down a new, I think, triple option with a pulling guard. The only main change is that the playside guard pulls and seals the playside linebacker.
W......B......M.........S
DE.......1.........3.........9
BT..BG..C..PG..PT..TE
Backside Guard and Tackle "scoop" or Cut off playside gap.
Center seals Buck Linebacker
Playside Tackle Seals Mike Linebacker
TE takes the 9 technique wherever he wants, but is trying to log(not allow to get to the outside)
Playside Guard pulls and seals Sam Linebacker
Z receiver seals Free Safety and playside Cornerback is the pitch key.
3 technique is the handoff key
I just want to know if this is out there yet and if it is, what am I doing wrong?
If anyone has any questions, criticisms, or critiques please let me know- skeltonnate@yahoo.com

3 tech gives a "Give read" to QB and Mike LB stuffs the run. 3 tech has QB..Now what do you do?
Also..How would you handle a Mike "run through" ?
Happy are those who dreams dreams and are ready to pay the price to make them come true.
Deac asks the questions that, to me, make your idea unsound. If your read , in this case a 3 tech, ALIGNS IN A 3 IN THE PSL, it becomes an automatic give in my book and there comes the Mike to the hole and whamo, your dive back get his world really rocked on that play! If your not going to run it as a true option and predetermine it (which changes the play entirely in my opinion) you probably can devise a blocking scheme easily that allows for that to work out after a fashion. But, as you state it now, don't see it as sound. Just my opinion as always. I admire your inititive and innovative thinking, but just don't think this one will go. AS you have run the option as a QB, do you see our point?

Coaches,
Thank you for the response. I do see your point and I agree with it. I failed to mention that this would not be a play that I would run all of the time. I would run this off of the buck sweep because of the Mike keying his guard(playside in this case). I do agree that this would be a tough play to run if the Mike blitzed or charged hard replacing the pulling guard. Coach Easton, you say that I could probably devise a blocking scheme that would allow this, did you have anything in mind?
Thank you both for the response and hope to keep running new ideas by you,
Nate
I really did not give it much thought to be honest with you. But, anytime you are not going to "option" a defender there is always a way to zone block or base or "slam amd slide" to reach the second level defender. Just use your inititive and see what you come up with is my suggestion. Let us know how it works out for you.

This might work better but you would have to be able to call off the pulling PG (TE and PG switch responsibilities) if MLB is showing blitz:

Coach Scott,
I like this idea a lot. At one point, I thought about making the DE the handoff key without a Mike blitz. I think this might work easier if I am just installing the option with a team. Thank you for your inciteful input.

FB runs dive to 3 tech
C blocks back to 3..he has FB help so not all that bad
PT and TE zone to Sam
BG block 1Tech
BT blocks B
PG pulls and logs ( reverse crab is best) BT
Pitch off of W ( He may not be anywhere to be found) As long as the W is not on the LOS threatning..it's a heck of a play.......Get you Band ready to play your fight song..HORNS UP!
Happy are those who dreams dreams and are ready to pay the price to make them come true.
Reverse crab..good question...DE is aligned as a 5 tech. he should squeeze on veer release by OT...he is and always has been aligned in the FREE clipping zone.......So...I think so...Any other opinions by coaches?
Mike LB is unblocked but he better be tackling the FB or you run trap........That is where coaching staffs have to have assistants watching certain keys on every play. Most assistants do not know what to watch for and can't give quality feedback to the playcaller. The playcaller needs to be accountable for having his assistants HAVE A PURPOSE ON GAME DAY!
I just read a post on another forum where many head coaches were chastizing their assistants for POOR game day performance. Tell them exactly what you want them to watch.

A "poor performance" by an assistant on game night, most often in my experience, has been found to be exactly what you mention! A HC who does not make it abundantly clear as to what he wants to hear on the phones or by any other means from his assistants is sadly remiss in my book! I was always one to keep the UNECESSARY garbage and chatter off the line. As a HC who always functioned as the OC as well, I only wanted specific info after every play: WHO DID NOT MAKE THEIR BLOCK AND CAUSED THE PLAY NOT TO GO(running play) DOWN AND DISTANCE FOR FIRST DOWN, ETC. and insisted it all be carried out in low conversational tones ( the mark of a well coached professional staff). This only comes with continuity within the staff and that comes from years of experience TOGETHER as a staff, as I'm sure you are most cognizant of. Never wanted no yelling and screaming on game night from any assistant, as that to me, is totally counterproductive! Get your guys ticked off, especially your QB, and there goes the ball game! Monday through Friday, I would get in your face at practice, but I wanted nothing but positive reinforcement on game night.

How hard do you find it for the QB to try and read someone when there is a pulling guard in between them? We have tried to run a play simular but had little sucess cause our QB got to guessing cause he could not see the read clearly. What are some coaching points on this to the QB? Thanks in advanced.
THAT'S ONE OF THE BEST WAYS I HAVE THOUGHT ABOUT TO CAUSE YOUR QB TO MAKE THAT FUZZY READ ANY QB HATES WHO RUNS THE OPTION OF ANY KIND. GUESSING DON'T GET THE JOB DONE IN MY BOOK, KNOWING IS WHAT COUNTS WITH ME. TO SCREW UP YOUR QB'S READ WITH ONE OF YOUR OWN GUYS IS CRAZY. Just my opinion as always.

I have used a play similar to this vs. a 33 stack. I ran this as an inside veer-looking play, but there was no read for the QB, just action to suck LB's in--the veer back ends up replacing the pulling guard. The guard then leads around the end--giving a blocker for the QB to follow--Works well!

There is nothing that will show a man's true character like the 2 yard line.
I agree with Tiger, we threw that play out cause it was messing up our QB. So the play you are talking about jrkelly is not an option play just a another version of a QB keep play? When do you like to run this play? Thanks

Option football, dealing with house cards is the best way describe this triple headed spear, and it does take time to master, but an old saying from one of my favorite people of history.
A woodsman was once asked, “What would you do if you had just five minutes to chop down a tree?” He answered, “I would spend the first two and a half minutes sharpening my axe.” Let us take a few minutes to sharpen our perspective.
Option game is broken into 3 types of option attacks, veer, load and midline, based on the overhang of the defense and invert players the QB can begin to read and break down the defense, if he deals the right hand house wins, we are always letting him put us in house odds. If there is no overhand defender the QB will call veer to that side to a two man surface, if there is no outside invert player to the a three man surface (TE side or overload tackle side) we will call load option. Most defenses try to counter this by adding a 3 tech with a wide 9 to keep contain on veer or use dual overhand defenders the recent addition of the college tight front these days with the dual overhang defenders and double 4i's we lean on midline option to attack this front.
Quarterback will be checked into this play by me, because we are tempo check with me team, it has become a big advantage, but once we're checked into our play now our hours of drilling the mesh over and over begins to show if we have fruit born from our labor or if we didn't sharpen the right axe. He reads the unblocked defender, feeding the the back, swinging the bat from hip to hip an either giving the ball to our back or pulling it himself.
Pro's we're putting our QB in the right position with the right odds, but in the end it is a teenage boy who thinks fortnite and what color shoes match their backpack swag is more important than watching film late at night some times so in the end it is a kid out there so if you are an option team, this is what you are, you own it, and you work it over and over again. The big pros are we can get huge explosive plays and when we are running this style of offense our two best athletes are our QB and our RB, we want them touching the ball the most and giving us the best chance on Friday Nights.
