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 are looking at going to this as our sole pass protection scheme next year. It seems easy for the kids to learn, matches up well on our play action, and seems to have few weaknesses. Anyone have any thoughts on this? We currently do not throw any five step as of now.
We used this type of protection with both our playaction and our dropback and it worded fine. The negative like Coach Mountjoy mentioned is that sometimes your back has to go up against a stud DE.
We used to run a full slide protection like this, but a couple years ago we switched to a scheme where we have a man side and a slide side. The only times we were forced to block a DE type with a running back in this set was if a 3-4 team walked one of the OLB's up on the line of scrimmage, or if an ILB walked up right in the A gap of our "man side."
I don't know if this is what coach Mountjoy runs, but it sounds like it is similar, and it was very easy for our guys to grasp. We used the same scheme for both our dropback and our rollout protection, though the techniques obviously changed some between the two.
In our #1 protection = "BIG ON BIG" to the callside, & "MAN" to the backside - if there is NO ONE in the "Center Box" - we automatically turnback from the Center away from the "BOB" side.
In our #2 protection - "turn back" you can either turn back all the way, or just from the "bubble" on the play side.
Those 2 are ALL we use. If there are any questions - please feel free to PHONE me at 804-378-0116 (from 6 PM to 10 PM/EDT). Would be glad to discuss this at length.
NOTE: These are GENERALLY 7 man protections, but can be 6, or even 8 man pro - depending on if we have 1 or 2 TE's on the field.
