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.
I am interested in hearing your basic techniques for angling the middle 3 in a 5-2. I assume the 3-3 would be pretty much the same. Steps, aiming point, amount of penetration, shoulder and hand position? Please let me know what works for you guys. Thanks-C Faust
Coach, We slant to the near hip of the lineman we are going to. He will tells us what type of block we are going to get and the blocking scheme. We do not penetrate unless it is pass. We hit and lock out. On my d-line video being sold on this site, there is drill and even game film on our guys slanting to the hip. If you want more information let me know, I will tell you what we do. PGolla
thanks coach. What exactly do you mean by "locking out?" I would guess you are talking about locking out the arms to get some separation? Always keep shoulders parallel to LOS after ripping through? Could you break down the steps and arm action you teach? I will also look into your video. Thanks for your time. C Faust
CUI, When we rip off our kids will push pull the defender getting his shoulders turned. We will do the following 1. Grab our back pocket 2. Rub our body (Violently ripping upward Like a upper-cut)' 3. Kiss the bicept (Make sure the rip is all the way up)
I love the stimulus/response method you use to react to blocking schemes. I use a similar technique for tackleing but never thought to use it for block recognition. I would just rep it, but now I can burry these things in their brain. The terms are simple enough for Freshmen to remember (just kidding).
To CUI, I hope this doesnt just sound like a plug, but the "Making Plays:Technique" video, and the "Stimulus Response: Defense Answer" have alot of good info and teaching methods that are worth checking out.
Coach, the best 50 slant that I have seen slants the Playside Tackle into the near ear of the tight end. The noseguard slants into the near ear of the guard and the backside tackle slants into the near ear of the center. The rover must ALWAYS be away from the slanting side in case the ball goes away from the slant. I hope this helps.

Coach, That is a great slant to the strong side. What we see a lot is that backside defensive tackle making plays because the guard blocks L.B and the the offensive tackle cannot get to the slanting defensive tackle. On the strong side, the TE is always surprised that he has a defensive tackle coming at him, pretty hard down block. Our kids are having a lot of fun with this....
No, Coach the aligment is tackles head up on the offensive tackles at 1 1/2 yards off the ball. The noseguards lines up head up on the center at a depth of 1 1/2 yards. The purpose of the depth is so they have a better angle when they are slanting. This slant is very, very effective from the 50. I hope this helps, and if we need to discuss this further, we will. Talk to you soon.
