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.
I generally like it vs 3X1 and 2x2. If the opponent runs option, the 3x1 sets are something to watch out for. One thing that has hurt us is 2x2 with a TE, then the slot motions to a wing and blocks. They release only #1 on each side. Both guys run a double move, QB looks off safety and throws back to the other guy on a post-corner for a TD. When they protect with 8, it is tough to get there no matter how many you bring.
The 3-step game can be effective against it, but if you rotate coverage and/or set a few traps, you can effectively counter it.
I also like it with press-man (safety depth can vary).
Would like to discuss further if interested

Coach, TE/Wing especially if defense does not adjust can give you a world of problems. Pressure vs completion is always an intresting match up. We see one spread that is 70/30 pass run. pass being 3 step, screen, PAP and run being inside/stretch and tackle wrap. Another team is a spread team with TE in game a vast majority of time. They run 1 back power, stretch, and alot of tag with same passing game. The Bear gives simple adjustments vs most formation in either 0 or 1 coverage, but match ups can create problems if pressure not adequte. As with all you do in this game, committing to using it as part of your package is the most important idea. When we have committed to the Bear the players sem to turn it up a notch, compared to a reading type defense.
