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.
Anyone running the 30 Stack and dropping a stack backer down to the LOS and bumping their front to create a 4-man front? Went to a clinic this weekend and that's their primary way of running their defense now. They don't run a lot of cover 3 like most stack teams do. Primarily man coverage, robber, and lots of bracket coverages.
Their reasoning...instead of slanting to a 4-man pressure front, they just bump down to one since they rarely run any 3-man pass rush. Anybody have any thoughts on this concept or anybody employing this concept?

I agree ack. if you want to do that then run a 4-4 and teach it that way. I think you let the oline go back to "him" blocking and there isnt any doubt about whats happening
You may be a King or a Street Sweeper but everyone dances with the Grim Reaper
I agree with both of your posts. Their explanation was by doing it that way, they dictated who the "free" defender would be versus the run. "Free" defender being the box player who would be unblocked.
Could this depend on your personell? If you don't have the guy(s) who can line up or you have an advantage with speed? My thinking is if you are smaller, quicker, slant and blitz to the 4 front. If you have size and strength you could line up in it. It seems that there are at least two schools of this front: slanting guys and base guys.

I don't like to do a ton of it because you lose the attacking style with the blitzer. It's tough to stand up on the LOS and get a good attack or push and it's also another technique to teach if you put a LB in the 3 point stance.
