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.
Find a word that has those letters in it. If your play is veer right try something like VisoR or something like that. Veer Left can be VuLcan or something. You get my point.

If you just want to check out of a play called to the rip side and run it to the liz, we just say" bump it". If we want to just blow smoke to keep the D honest and not pick up on what we are doing, we just have the QB say every other play or so, "Bump 1. Bump 2, etc. and it means absolutely nothing. "bump it" indicates that we are changing sides from the play side called in the huddle to the opposite side. Example: we have an outside veer called to the liz side. QB goes to the LOS and sees immediately that he is outnumbered to that side. His first command is "bump it" and we are now going to run the play to the rip side. Of course, we do not flip flop personnel. Can't get much simpler than that. If we want to check out of a run to another run, the QB names a CITY i.e "Miami" then calls three sets of numbers 22, 32, 36. The SECOND number called after the city is the new play(number 3 back thru the number 2 hole) last command is "go" and we are off!!! If we want to check from a run to a pass or a pass to another pass the QB's first call will be the name of a STATE. Example: "Tennesee" then three sets of numbers - 51, 62, 54 go! This time the FIRST number called is the play!!! In my play book our 50 series is mirror routes by the WR's and a 3 step drop by the QB. In this example we would then run a 5 yd. out cut by the TE as the primary. We keep it simple. Our two minute drill I just waggle in hand signals to our QB and he then verbally calls the play. We keep this package to five plays per game and he simply yells out 5 or 4 or 3 or 2 or 1 between plays as the O is hustling back to the LOS. We then just line up and run the play called. We put in a different set of five plays each week for this package. Hope this helps.

We do a fairly extensive amount of play checks and audibles at the LOS. We call out a city name to opposite call the play....we have live states and dead states to audible and dummy audible and we combine live and dummy hand signals, particularly in the passing game. We do not incorporate an audible within our cadence like most teams do...the main reason is insecurity about everyone getting the play call and the snap count...probably a coaching problem, but I feel more comfortable having the QB alert the offense of a play change prior to the cadence...call and signal the new play and then get into his regular cadence and snap the ball on the snap count given...we've had very few illegal procedures and a minimal amount of miscommunications, however it hasn't been perfect. pdow

Saw Coach DeBerry speak at the Nike Clinic in Orlando. He says he just has Air Force QB go to line, read the defense and call "Opposite" which, obviously, flips the play from the side called in the huddle. I don't think it gets much easier than that.
