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.
Coach, could you put your technique alignments in your 4-2-5 vs double wing-double se and te/dbl wing with a se? I would like to see what your adjustments are vs outside veer. The qb runs a ton. Also, what is your UP alignment for run with a te? Thanks again coach. Nick
I DO WALK UP A LB IN A CLOSE 50 TECH AT TIMES, NOT ALWAYS. IT MAY HAVE COME OUT AS A 5 TECH BUT WAS MEANT TO BE A 50 TECH AS WE ALWAYS ADD A ZERO TO ANY LB' ALIGNMENT. SORRY FOR THE CONFUSION. DID THE DIAGRAMS HELP OR NO?

Yes. Against your te/wing alignment, they will bring the se over wide so the te is covered; te down to ilb, wing arcs to olb (sometimes to fs if in robber), pst and psg double the dt and chip, the rest of the o-line scoops. Fb to outside leg of the tackle. Doesn't the de now have fb? The qb hurt us a bit in the playoffs until we played a game with the fs and olb. Just looking to see what you would do. Their base plays besides option (OSV and Midline-though their midline has the fb at the outside leg of the guard) are counter trey, tackle trap, iso, and qb counter. Thanks again.
THE EASIEST WAY TO TAKE THE BALL OUT OF THE QB'S HANDS IS BY A SIMPLE PSL ALIGNMENT THAT WILL TELL HIM IT IS AN AUTOMATIC GIVE TO THE DIVE BACK. WHATEVER D YOU ARE IN JUST HAVE THE QB READ MAN MOVE TO A TECHNIQUE THAT WILL WIDEN HIM FROM THE HOLE. IF THE QB IS TRAINED PROPERLY HE WILL GIVE THE BALL IMMEDIATELY AS SOON AS HE MAKES HIS PSL READ IN THE ISV SCENARIO. IF IT IS AN OSV, CLOSE HIM DOWN TO TIGHTER TECHNIQUE (6 TO A 7 9 TO A 6 ) FOR A DE. IF YOU HAVE A WALKED UP LB OR SS TO BECOME THE EMOL, JUST WIDEN THE EMOL A BIT TO ENCOURAGE THE GIVE TO THE FB AND HAVE THE LB WEAR HIM OUT WHEN HE GETS THE BALL!!!

By the nature of your question today, it would appear to me that you have discerned that the RB is the guy you want to have the ball. In other words he is the least likely to hurt you as you don't want to give to the dive back and you want to force the QB to pitch.
All you need to do is move your read man (down tackle in a 50- DE in a 40) to a 4i in the PSL. This will make the QB not give it to the dive back as he would have no place to run. His next move will be to pull it and get on to his next read. On the snap have the man assigned to the QB crash hard and make him pitch it right now! Now, with that accomplished you will have the ball in the hands of their least effective runner.

Coach, had a great day at practice. We will see on Wednesday in our 3rd scrimmage. If a te/wg is in, do you just send the 7 tech hard for fb and olb for qb? Thanks again.
We are facing a double TE, double Wing this week, foot to foot splits. Both wings are flyers. How would you align vs. this look? They run student body sweep, buck sweep, counter, belly G, and belly option. The sweeps scare the daylights out of me because of the speed of their wings.
Be sure and invoke the 3 yd rule just as you would when defending the option. If the wing flexes more than 3 yds. have your defender go right back inside and align as a 9 tech on the TE and have the SS/OLB take the wing. If he does not flex more than 3 yds, have your guy align on the wings outside shoulder(wide 9 tech).

Coach, just took a look at an old tape, they bring the se over to the te/wg side and remove the corner from pitch. Wing blocked out on to the olb, te was down to the FS (which is what the main difference is), tackle and guard doubled and chipped to the ILB. We were short a man and the qb ran wild. I know we have to play football, but am I missing an adjustment? Any ideas? Sorry for all the problems.
OLB has qb, fs is robber, corner, late pitch, DE has fb (OSV). If OLB is blocked outside, we had the FS coming inside for qb. I think I'm driiving myself nuts...
If they are in an end-over formation, that is an unbalanced line and you must adjust accordingly. Play the OG as the C and the backside "tackle" as the TE.
Just slow down and quit making it seem so hard. Sit down and draw up what you are going to see. Draw it up according to the latest and the old film you now have. Then, just sit down with your staff and work out a viable plan that encompasses the looks you will see. As today is Tuesday I would get with the players tonight and walk them through their various assignments without delay as Friday will be here before you know it.
Scott has given you a plan for necessary adjustments that is sound against an unbalanced front and a good starting point. I would suggest a team period walk through so that your guys will be used to a full compliment of defensive players and not half line, etc. as time is of the essence. Then, tweak what you see to be as potentil "problem causers". If the QB is really an accomplished runner and looks to run before throwing, put a "spy" on his butt and do your absolute best to not let him out of the backfield!!!
My cardinal rule against any unbalanced front is to just do what it takes to not let them outnumber you on the unbalanced side, remembering not to leave yourself vulnerable on the back side. It's football, coach, not rocket science.
Your not being a problem whatsoever, your just trying to win like the rest of us. Keep me informed and keep the questions coming if we can help.
