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.
ROVER = Line up in gap between Wing & TE. On the movement of the ball - shoot inside off hip of TE & then flat down the LOS behind the heels of the O-Line. D Gap responsibility. Wrong shoulder any inside/out block. NOTE: If Wing motions away — contain rush (no wrong shoulder).
DE (Wing Side) = 6 technique head up on TE. On the movement of the ball - shoot off hip of OT & then flat down the line behind the heels of the O-Line. C Gap responsibility. Wrong shoulder any inside/out block.
DT (Wing Side) = Conventional 3 technique — outside shoulder of OG. B Gap responsibility. Wrong shoulder traps.
DT (SE Side) = Conventional 1 technique — inside shoulder of OG. A Gap responsibility.
DE (Split End side) = 4 technique head up on OT. On the movement of the ball — shoot off hip of OG & then flat down the line behind the heels of the O-Line. B gap responsibility. Wrong shoulder any inside/out block.
WILL = line up on outside shoulder of TB (on the LOS). Go through outside shoulder of TB. Contain technique. C Gap responsibility.
S/S = line up on Wing at a depth of 3-4 yds. Squeeze-Contain if Wing blocks Rover. Cover Wing M/M on all passes UNLESS he motions away — then you have the FB M/M.
Mike = Line up 3 yds deep straddling Center's leg to Wing/TE side. You have strongside A gap on plays to you (stay at home if you lose sight of the ball thru mis-direction). If the play goes away — cautious inside/out pursuit. Cover FB M/M on show pass (you may tackle him on his fake on waggle pass).
Corners = line up 7 yds deep on inside shoulder of TE & SE. Cover him M/M. NOTE: Corner on TE side fills vs. run if TE blocks.
F/S = Line up 7 yds deep on inside shoulder of TB. Cover him M/M UNLESS he goes to opposite side — then you have the FB M/M. NOTE: Fill vs. run if TB blocks.
NOTE: Can EASILY adjust the from to a 5-2 LIGHTNING/COV 0:
1. R & W = SAME as 4-3 Lightning Cover 0
2. ENDS = base 4 technique (played straight)
3. ILBers = 30 technique (key Guards)
4. NOSE = base 0 technique
5. ROVER, S/S, S/C, F/S = SAME

Mostly Pro sets, 2 backs, 1 TE to WR. Some twins I, some offset, Fb to TE side. Anything we are really giving up vs. pro sets by being in a basic 4-4 like this playing robber?
