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.
Last year we ran some out of a normal gun formation with Demeo blocking rules as well as adjustable splits. I would like to run some midline out of pistol this year. Anyhow, we faced a couple of 3-3 stack teams and would double N to MLB w/ C & PSG. Usually arc release out PST to OLB and read the PSDE as handoff key and the SS/spur as the pitch key. I actually like it against the 3-3 because it's a balanced D against a balance O, so it really depends on what they start doing when you motion the slotback into the backfield. If they start over adjusting you have to use the flip option (demeo) or something else to keep 'em honest.
I was looking at running Midline versus the 3 - 3 from a pistol formation. I would also probably dbl N to MLB with C and PSG as well. However, I think there are better ways to attack a 3 - 3 then midline. Double Option is a great choice, if you bring in an offset back then you can create a numbers advantage:
