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.
What is the answer some of you have for teams who take wide splits (2 ft. or more) with their O line vs. the 4-2-5 front. Stacking the ILBs would be one way to equalize, what else?
Best solution to BIG spolits is to put both OLBers in a 9 tecnique, & both DE's in a 5 technique. The OTHER 7 play same as base 4-2-5. We simply call this "TIGHT" (we don't let our 1 technique DT line up more than arm's reach from the football).
The OTHER solution (as Jerry Easton says) is to run the MAX-BLITZ & hit the gaps!

I agree with coach Easton and coach Mountjoy, big splits essentially put the offensive linemen on an island as well, making it much more difficult to double team. I would go after this team with as much speed as I could since there is more space to work with defensively and you are likely to see predominantly one on one blocks.
Other than blitzing you may consider putting your faster linemen inside and some of your linebackers at DE to get more speed on the field, if you have enough players to do it without a significant dropoff in talent or execution.
