Coach Campbell, or anyone else with experience running the pistol offense, have you run midline out of a 3 wide 2 back set? I would run this towards a 3 and a 5, reading the 3 tech for dive and 5 tech for pitch. Looks OK on paper but was curious if any has had success running midline without a TE.

Thanks,

Midline is good from the pistol and is why I like the pistol. Coach CAmpbell

I am not familiar with that term. Jsk002

I would think that coach means the pitchback, if you didn't use one then you would be running a QB belly with the QB reading the dive key and then having the ability to come off with him running the ball if the the dive is not there. It is also a great play if you false key the pitchback. Hope this helps.

The "Cowboy" technique as I call it does pertain to the pitch back with a triple option approach. The Cowboy can come from an offset back or from any slotted offensive player. With a trips formation it probably would be the number 3. Coach Campbell

A good book is Coaching Football's Midline Option by Jeff Walker and Terry Siddall.
