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.
How would you block the inside zone play againt a wide tackle 4-4 look?? DT's both in 3 techs. Defensive ends in 7 tech to strongside and 5 tech to weakside. Two ILB's over the guards and two OLB's.
I wouldn't run the inside zone against this front. You are really a man short to get this blocked. I would check to one of two plays:
1. an iso play right up the center's crack. Center blocks the backside backer, the FB the playside backer. The G's base out the 3's.
2. the stretch play to the strong side. They are out of luck on this play because your T and TE will combo the 7 and the TE will get to second level and block ILB while the FB will block the OLB wherever he wants to go.
Yeah I figured inside zone isn't ideal against the 4-4, there might be a chance for a cutback but that would be tough. Plus the Center would have a tough block on the playside backer.
I read somewhere that in order for a defense to be sound, there must not be more than 4 techniques in alignment by the defensive front (e.g. DT in a 2, DE in a 7: 7-2=5. This alignment is unsound, it is vulnerable at this point). In Coach Joe's post, " DT's both in 3 techs" it would be -3-3=-6 or 6 techniques seperating the DTs, falling into the unsound devensive front theory.
Maybe there is a check call in your offenses to a quick hitting iso call (like others suggested) or a goose play (QB reads wide alignment to take away perimeter attack and 'gooses' center and follows him to the LBs), nothing better to get a DCs attention than going 2 on 11 and getting 5 yards.
Just my 2 cents.

PS.... Coach Campbell congrats on the new gig. 4000 students.....400 kids in the football program.....You people down there in the United States of Texas sure do love your football!!! If you need to shed some, let 'em know I've got an apartment complex in Rialto, CA, and I'm sure I could find some jobs for their parents too......Rent's cheap if they can play!!! LOL
Seriously, what the heck do you do with 400 kids?? Figuring the odds (1:20) you've got about 20 thoroughbreds, and quite a few mustangs that need breakin'? Must be nice to have so much talent in the pipeline! Good Coaching!! (It doesn't sound like you need luck).

Coach G you must come down and visit someday. I'm lucky I also have 24 full time football coaches on the staff that can make this all come together. Thanks for coming to our discussion board. Coach CAmpbell
