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.
Our base defense is a 4-4 or some people may call it a 4-2-5. We usually play our dt's in 2 or 3 techniques (we slant alot) and our de's in 5 technique or 7 technique to a te. Our inside linebackers are in 30's.
When we want a double eagle look we move one of our inside linebackers over the center with his hand down, the other linebacker stacks over him. The dt's are in 3 tech's in charge of b-gap. We have had some sucess with this but we don't do it that much. Does anyone else do this, does anyone do anything different? I have toyed with going to more of a true bear look with 2 inside linebackers...maybe put the weakside outside linebacker in the nose position (may substitute). When I think about this I get a little concerned about the fact that we see a fair amount of double tight.
We have went to this front in years when we are short on linebackers. We have also went to this front when we have had one linebacker that could not read on the run. It has worked for us in the past. It gives you a solid inside run defense and a solid pass rush if you blitz the mike linebacker, but we do not stay in it every down. We play this front to make up for certain short comings or to give a different look now and then. We have found that it is a good chance of pace defensive front when teams scout our 44 look. I hope this helps.
E-mail me at Brent.Danks@sendit.nodak.edu I would like to see what you guys do with this look.
I wish I had some things to show you out of this look but much like yourself it has been a changeup type of defense for us. We really haven't developed the package at all. The one things we do that I might mention is we play cover 0 rules when in this look. That puts our free safety on the te man to man so he ends up aligning about 5-7 yards off the ball and a yard inside the te. In my mind this puts him in the box and with the right kid, he can be very involved in stopping the run. FYI...we usually run this defense vs. a pro formation offense (2 backs and at least 1 te) and our corners play loose man with inside leverage. I'd be glad to show you what we do but we really don't do much!
tate 5, if your FS is all the way in to 7 yds over the TE at what depth do you have your CB's? Oh I see, you did state you are playing cover 0. How have you done with this look?

Coach, we have done this for many years. It is a great change up defense and we have been very successful with it. We usually jump to it from a base 44 look: jump to bear-cover 3 or 1. We bump it down vs Te/wing and stunt the tnt look. We are weak in curl zones, but usually do not use it on the opponent's passing tendencies. I would be glad to help in any thing you may need. anicolino@mapleshade.org
we've done it on occassion....but since our NT normally plays a '1' (not a 2), we'll eagle down the WDE and walk the WLB on the weakside end...
We feel this is a more favorable matchup as that OT has to contend with a LB's acceleration vs a DL's, and let the 'big boys' go at it one-on-one from guard to guard.
