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.
This will be my 2nd year in the 33 stack. What do you guys do versus trap? I currently have my Mike key FB as primary. "He comes. I come." My nose will be one of my best players. He is undersized (that is why I've switched to the 33 stack. I seem to always have a ton of undersized DL).
We slant, pinch, fan. We 2 gap about 40% of the time. It depends on down and distance and if my DL can control the OL (if we are bigger and stronger). Just like most of you, I bring the heat from all over. Very similar to Tulsa. Due to this, I'm expecting teams to try and pound my with double tight this year. That doesn't worry me. What does worry me is Trap.
Trap over the Center should be a pain in the rear vs. a 33. If you are concerned with trap, your Nose has to hold his ground, demand a double, pinch your DE's from head-up on the OT's. There's a ton of things you can do with blitz packages, stunts, etc. Don't get caught guessing, though. A trap is a pretty easy play to stop if everyone is keying well--if you are out of position because of a blitz or a mis-read, you're toast...as I'm sure you've seen. I'd never shoot my nose in a "running situation" where I would expect trap against a team that features a trap play. Frankly, the play that scares me in a 33 is a simple wedge dive.

There is nothing that will show a man's true character like the 2 yard line.
Mike is always assigned to the opposite A gap of Nose...Nose is aligned 12 inches off of he ball (so he can see the game), when he takes a step and sees the guard leave, he and the back side stack olb will sound the pull alarm...Nose will cross the center's face, and the stack olb will have cut back assignment(depending on the block of the back side Tackle)..Mike is finding a run fit, the first available window of oppertunity to this side....If the Trap is going to our slant direction, Nose will get his hips in the whole(does not want to get washed into Mike), our back side End will have cut back assignment(since he is the B gapper)...Back side stack will check C, and arrive late to asist with cut back...Our play side stack olb, will fill off of the down block by the play side guard...Mike will find the 1st available window of oppertunity to the play side........:gift;
The way I run my stack is as follows:
MIKE reads the triangle (FB to Guard)
SAM and WILLIE read thru Guard to TB (vs I)
MIKE steps with the FB and upon seeing the Guard pull, redirects. If SAM or WILLIE gets "flow in the box" away, their rule is backside A-Gap/FB (dont pass up the FB against the counter). IF the Nose is slanting to (or gets blocked into) the backside A, the SAM or WILLIE scraps over to playside A.
If you email will email me, I can email you back some diagrams.
