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 was watching a video last night and the coach said you should never try to trap a 50 defense because the tackles will squeeze your tackle and he will never make it to the LB. I've trapped it in the past but I understand his point. My question is do you believe in trapping vs a 50 or do you check out into something different? Why or why not and what do you check to if you do?

Coach trapping a 50 is a natural and you should add to your scheme all the tackle has to do is get his shoulder tip reduced when releasing inside. Coach CAmpbell
we teach to dip and rip but this guy swears it's a mistake that you should base block and have the guard step around the center and get the LB that was over him after getting around the Center. He uses split flow action to freeze that backer.
We generally block it as Coach Campbell describes but at times we do have some trouble with the 4/5 knocking the tackle off track. We then go to an outside release. The tackle pass sets for an instance and then pulls out and blocks the first off color jersey - usually the 9. The TE, after hearing a call made by the tackle, blocks on a shallow track to the LB. The quick pass set allows the TE to get past the tackle. We use split flow in the backfield when we use this scheme. It freezes the onside LB just enough for the TE to get to him. I agree with Coach Campbell- there is absolutely no reason not to trap a 50.
The FB Trap versus a 50 is a big play for us. Back steps opposite the play and takes inside handoff from QB. The tackle picks grass to first LB inside. To the tightside, the TE wll base sift on the 9 tech to Monster. We pull the guard on this play, with the OST blocking the weak DT. We run this off our veer play.
