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.
well out of the pro I set typically the defenses will loadup the box(put 8 men in the box) and play loose man of some sort of cover 3. buy putting 8 in the box the defense has the offense outnumbered by 1 man. so unless you want to base your system on having the back make the extra defender miss alot of teams check to some sort of double option or they check to three step passing game. If you watch the pro's particularly the n.y.jets one of the plays they run is what is called 1 step hitch vs loose coverage(defender 7 or more yds deep). the rec take a step forward then turns his numbers to the qb. the qb takes one step drop and fires a pass to the rec. now you have a athletic rec one on one with a db who has given coushion. it is safe, high % and puts a rec in space with at the h.s. level are traditionally nonphysical poor tacklers at db.
the three step passing game would consist of the hitch, slant and fade.
personally I think the lead draw/lead draw passing game is the best thing ever developed. it was the staple of steve spurrier florida teams. the great thing about lead draw is you get a two for one. the pass protection and the run play are blocked the same. what you get is a vertical passing game and could be horizontial as well plus when the backers start to drop you gash them with the lead draw. the lead draw also can be a physical run game when the numbers in the box are right. I feel is it best run from I formaiton with 3 wide rec spreading the field.
i agree with airman. Steve Spurrier used the playaction out of i-formation and got the linebackers to bite, then hit the dig over the middle of the field.
There is a decent book out there by Jack Beverlin. It was written in the early 70's I think called the Multiple Motion I Offense and his whole scheme is built off of the lead draw series. In contrast though his lead draw series is run out of half roll action and many times the fullback will actually end up kicking out the end and not leading on the backer. I am not sure where you can find it but it isnt a bad book, but dont spend 40 bucks on it. It would be a decent grab at 15 bucks.

the lead draw and sprint draw are to totally different concepts. the lead draw is a draw iso with the fb leading the way up the gut and the qb is in a dropback pass mode. the sprint draw is a draw of sprint out action. the lead draw has become a staple in the nfl as you get nice dropback action with a draw. the university of wisconsin ran this very well when they had darrell bevell as the qb. they still run it some.
Sorry Airman it was a long week when I typed my last response. I got the terminology messed up. One of those brain farts. Anyway your right the book is based on the sprint draw not the lead draw, sorry.

As Sid Gillman oncer said - "play actions are good from the "I", but not dropbacks - because you can't get the backs out deep enough to contribute to yourt horizontal & vertical strtch concepts"!!!!!
