I don't think that it would be much different from running the flexbone with the QB under the center, we run the veer out of the shotgun. Would it just be the adjustment with the formations you wanted to use? Try the flexbone internet sight to see if anyone else is doing it. We will add the pistol to our offense this year.

If you can hit the option as quickly, I think this could be quite effective.

You can time it out so you do not have to put the pitchback in motion. You could also false key and run a trap backside off the veer look.

Me and a coach at my school were discussing this and have different opinions on if it would be successful.

We ran almost exclusively out of a spread flexbone pistol look. We are almost always in some type of wing formation. Our QB and FB alignment were tighter than normal to maintain the FB mesh. QB at 3.5yd, FB at 6yds. Allowed us to run a mix of spread passing concept and flexbone runs. Was pretty effective. Was our first year to do this, so learned alot.

Very effective offense. Coach Campbell

Did the gun look change anything? Did the defenses look at you the same as if you'd been under center?
