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.
We have been using the old punt for a number of years and haven't gotten the pressure on our punter that there appears to be with the spread and all. Why are the other punt formations better?
THEY AREN'T BETTER IN MY OPINION, PROTECTION WISE. EASIER RELEASE OF THE LINE WITH SOME OTHER FORMATIONS, GRANTED, BUT THAT DOESN'T TAKE CARE OF THE PUNTER!

Tiger One I thought I was one of the few who thought that idea was to get the punt off safely, protecting the punter. The coverage can be good also because they can get off the LOS, the spread seems more susceptible to the block.
Many teams in the olf Tight Punt formation gave let the snapper free release after the snap. Many teams then overloaded the middle which broke down the protection. The Spread or Double Slot\Wing Punt Formation requires the Snapper to block to one gap adding another player to your protection.....ability to get 1 blocker on every rusher if the put a returner back.
Coach Zuck very good point, we make sure that the center does not release right away, for the very reason you mentioned. It just seems to me that against the spread we've had an easier time blocking punts, but that could be coaching also. Thanks for your thoughts I appreciate them.
I was a spread punt guy until I did some serious film study and realized that my wide gunners almost never made a tackle downfield. This wasn't just one season of film. It seems that it is better to keep those kids in tight helping on protection because putting them wide doesn't increase their ability to influence the play downfield.
Coach what I was talking about is that you have the 7 men on the line with 2 foot splits and then you have two blocking backs off the LOS between the center and the guards. You then have the personal protector 6 yards back to the side that the punter will kick from. The Punter at the high school level is usually 13 yards back. Hope this will give you the information you wanted. Have a great Holiday.
we use what you call the "syracuse" punt.........but we would start with our ends split out wide.......we feel this gives our ends better angles to the ball........our center releases right away as well.........we still have Man On-Outside blocking scheme..........the 3 "elephants" block A-A-B to outside.........our line splits are 3ft
Coach I think the only punt formation that I question is the new one where everyone is backing up and not getting on their blocks. I like having the kids be agressive at the LOS and not using pass protection type blocking. I think the Syracuse punt you mentioned is very sound.
Coach some teams still use that formation but they have evolved it. Florida state and SJSU were running that in the 90's but it is now called hop slam punt. On the snap of the ball your G, T, E are all pivoting and punching on a 90 degree angle while working out. Your two up backs step with the inside foot pivot punch and get out, PP picks up first threat to punters foot, and the snapper still has a free release.
Great thing about this is everyone gets a rolling start off the line and its hard to hold people up. I think this is something you should look into. This is the first year I havent run it and in 5 years of being involved with the scheme ive never seen it blocked.
Bill Williams Video Library has a ton of tape on it as well as Florida states practice and game cuts of it. You can message me if your interested in more info on the technique because thats the most important part to it.
