Pistol Debut

Although we were only able to get in one full practice this week due to weather, we put up 28 in the first half in route to a 34-0 win this past Saturday. The kids on the other team were just overmatched as we simply had too much speed for them. Pistol mesh with our first team kids looked very solid this week. Our 2s got a lot of quality reps in as well, as they played the entire second half of the game.

We will be installing veer this week along with adding some additional boots and play action passes to the few we have in right now. Our starter was able to focus more on his backside chase read this week and I'm sure we'll have an opportunity to run the bubble backside during our next game.

It's been a learning experience for me as well as the kids and a lot of fun to put in so far.

Coach would love to see some of your film on this. Looking forward to seeing you soon. Coach Campbell

I would guess that we ran 90% of our offense out of the Pistol last season coach. We did go under center every once in a while for a change of pace and for our 2-minute offense, as well as some unbalanced single-wing (Wildcat) but the vast majority of our offense was running IZ, Stretch, Jet sweep, Power and Counter out of the Pistol alignment.

I do have cutups in huddle coach and will send you the link to that page. Here is our team Hudl highlight page which features play on both sides of the ball.

Our QBs did not need to do much with their feet last year as we were fortunate to have a couple of very good kids in our backfield. This season I am expecting both of them to make some plays for us with their feet when the opportunity presents itself. We also only through the backside bubble a few times last season and that holds a great deal of potential for us as an offense as well. It was a lot of fun putting it in and seeing the kids get the mesh down as well as we did. I think we only put the ball on the ground 4-5 times during an 11 game season, something I'm pretty proud of.

Hello.
My name is Kevin Canady i'm from Waterbury , Ct..... I've been coaching on the hihg school level for some time now.... And we have some what got the Un Balanced Single Single Wing Offense in place.... But we have come across the the challenge of becoming predictable.... Being only a Asst. coach. I have been doing some comparing of the 2 Offensive sets..... We have some quick shifty talented Student that are on our team ... By the way The Team Is JFK Kennedy High School Eagles........
My reason for writing is to find some more valid in put on installing the Pistol Offense in to our packge with the Single wing...... I think tjat the Pistol compliments the Single wing and vice versa. So why not use them both...... Together......Any special Books etc.... Film
I need some help in convincing Our Head Coach..... He has already takin interest but I would like to win it over... Our kids need to see A lil difference.......
I can be reached info provided at the bottom Thank You!!!!!
