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.
SORRY FOR THE BLANK TOPIC. I DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED. I NEED SOME OPINIONS ON THE OFFENSE WE PLAN ON RUNNING THIS COMING SEASON. WE WILL RUN THE "I" WITH THE FOLLOWING FORMATIONS: PRO, TWINS, TWINS-SPLIT, UNBALANCED TWINS. WE ARE INSTALLING THE OPTION GAME, FROM COACH CAMPBELL'S MANUAL. VEER, MID, AND LOAD. ALONG WITH THIS, WE WILL RUN TOSS SWEEP, ISO, AND OFF-TACKLE POWER. WE WILL ALSO RUN FB TRAP, TB TRAP, AND COUNTER TREY. OUR PASSING GAME WILL CONSIST OF SPRINT OVER, PLAY ACTION OFF ISO AND OPTION. THE QUESTION I HAVE IS, WHEN IS THERE TOO MUCH AND WHEN IS THERE ENOUGH? ALSO, SHOULD I ADD OR CHANGE ANYTHING? THANKS FOR THE HELP.
You have to answer how much is enough by how well your kids can execute it. I would look to see if you are duplicating attacking the same hole with the same back. If you are throw something out. COunter trey and tailback trap could ber an example of this.
The only thing in my opinion you are missing is a way to attack c-gap with the fullback. I think you need to add either outside veer or g-belly. Just my two cents worth.
THANKS COACH, WE DO RUN FB-G, MY MISTAKE FOR OMITTING IT. I SEE WHAT YOU ARE SAYING ABOUT THE TB TRAP AND THE COUNTER, BUT HERE IS WHY WE DO BOTH: TB TRAP OFF VEER ACTION, COUNTER OFF POWER ACTION. I DON'T KNOW IF THAT JUSTIFIES BOTH OF THEM OR NOT. WHAT IS YOUR OPINION?
We run the counter off veer action because we run veer more than power or iso. What will you run more? Decide and design everything off it. That way you have your conter and play action off your most successful play.
We try not to duplicate plays that have the same effect on the defense (or purpose). For example, we feel that toss sweep and speed option have a similar purpose, so we choose the play that fits the best with our philosophy and attack style. We don't have a sweep because we run speed option instead.
