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.
Coaches for any of you interested I will be glad to help you to start installing and building your 8 man fronts. The multiple 40 gives you many variations for defending both the run and passing game. As we move through the installation of the 40 I will be able to give reasons for defending certain plays. Coach CAmpbell
COACH, I BELIEVE THAT YOU LOKE TO START WITH THE 31 FRONT WHEN TECHING THE 40. TO GO ALONG WITH THE 31 STUNTS/ BLITZ PACKAGE, AS A BASE WHAT COVERAGES ARE TAUGHT IN THE BEGINING. MIKE

Mike with the 31 front cover 3 and cover "0" and cover "1" would be good and you then can spread out from there. Thanks for coming to the site looking forward to talking some football together. Coach CAmpbell

Coach vs cover 3 with 4 vertical receivers with the underneath coverage on a pattern read you ust get the free safety splitting the two inside receivers equally to have a chance. Cover 3 is good whenever an offense needs 6 yards or less it helps with out, hitches, etc. Cover 4 is usually good to go into whenever the offense needs 7 yards or more give them the outs now and hitches but don't let them behind the 4 deep zone. Coach CAmpbell
falcon 66, My name is Coach Hogue and we always adjust to 4 verticals by backing our Rover back to a safety position. Now you can run a cover 4 look or even go farther and run some Cover 2! If your Rover can not play deep coverage then you can put in another safety type player.
Do you run more of a 4-3 or 4-4 or both? I have had great success with a 5-3 but am starting to see more of a passing game and I like the flexability of the 40 front. It dosen't seem to hard to jump from a 4-3,4-4, 4-2 or bear. Where is a good place to start when looking at installing the 40 front?

Stick if you're interested I wrote and revised my new manual the installation of the multiple 40 defense that has alot of information in it that I think will be of great help to you. Go to the bookstore of the home page and take a look at it. Coach CAmpbell
I enjoy the Multiple 40 manual. It is my favorite playbook. Coach talk a little about your Cover 1 with the aspect of FS and his key progression. What type player do you like at the FS position as far as speed, tackling ability and size.

Coach cover 1 which is man free as you know.. The type of player here is a good athlete that can cover but be the alley player with the run game. With Cover 1 you can get the free safety very involved with the running game and most blocking schemes don't account for free safety. Coach thats a good question and appreciate you coming to the site and hope you find it very resourceful. Coach CAmpbell
Coach Campbell i have your 40 defense book which I bought from you last year at the Mega clinic in New Jersey. (I think I bought it there) anyway have you just written a newer version, is it much different than the one I have? Thanks

Coach I have a new version and have revised the manual and have redifined somethings added new coverages with more explanation and added addition read keys for your LBers. Coach CAmpbell
Coach Campbell we currently use some variations of the bear 46 but due to graduation this years team looks to be a little slower and possibly smaller. Do you think we use consider something else ?
6D, I coach the secondary at Westwood High School and we ran the 40 look when I coached at Texas Tech, the free safety in a 4 spoke will read the center or the uncovered linemen. When playing cover 1, the free safety will weave from the cover 2 look and cover what we call the hole, which is the deep middle. By being in the middle, he can help over the top with any receiver down field. So his key is the uncovered lineman. By playing pass first, he will always rotate to the hole and then yell run or pass. He must always play pass first.
6D, when playing out of an 8 man front, the free safety will have what we call a flat foot read. His alignment in 6 yards deep and 1 yard inside the tight end. In an 8 man front we really dont have any one free. The free reads the tight end and flat footed yells run or pass to get the corners to come off their man and help on the run. If the TE releases for a pass then the free has him man to man. If the TE blocks then the safety yells run and he is there to support the run. So as you can see, we are really a 9 man front with the free that close to the TE.
I base my secondary out of a 3 deep look. In man free coverage I know my Corners are man on and I know my OLBs have #2. My FS typically reads QB, then if he reads run he yells run and support where needed. If he reads pass he checks his threats to the post/seam areas and helps robs. Am I teaching this correctly or should the FS be doing something else. What Alignment do you think the FS Should have in this look?
Hey Coach, We do like pressure, we had trouble however stopping the run against bigger teams. We gambled a little trying to keep our front 8 in motion to prevent teams from locking up on us. It worked but like I said we're smaller this year any suggestions ?
Big Play, I think you are doing the right thing by sending pressure if you have a smaller team. Quickness can always put a crink in any offense. Sometimes with our 8 man front we play our FS so close to the line of scrimmage that we actually have a 9 man front. We align our safety only 6 yards deep and one yard inside the TE. This has really helped our run support.
I hope you guys will continue this topic a little while longer. My question is, what are your inside linebacker keys and reads. And, what are their assignments after making their reads (i.e. if fullback is key, and he comes to you, what is his rule? and vice versa.). Also, what are their option responsibilities, including midline, veer, and speed.

Coach B if I could recommend to you my new Multiple 40 manual you will have an in depth installation of all their reads and keys plus the full instalation of the 40 defense as it applies to 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9 man fronts and coverages. I key near back if covered and I ket through lineman if uncovered. Coach Campbell
Coach Campbell, I ordered your book, and recieved it yesterday. The first thing I did was to go to Linebacker reads. But, I am a little unclear. Let me explain. My head coach and I are disagreeing about their reads. I like reading the triangle. By this I mean Guards to Fullback. He doesn't. We face both wing-t teams with wing-t plays, and wing-t teams that run other things, such as option. We want to keep it simple for our LB's because we require so much out of them. We also face Pro I teams, and Ace Spread teams. We want a rule, to keep it simple as who to key and where to go after reading that key.
