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 doing some self-scouting, and I found that we don't run to the boundary enough. When and what type of run and pass plays do you run to the boundary side?
Something that has always worked well for me is utilizing our TE and flanker in combination routes. I like to send the TE on a 2 yd. speed out to the boundary, while having the flanker with a rolled up corner playing with inside leverage on a 5 yd slant or a 7yd. curl. That inside leverage from the CB takes away the quick slant, but a good outside release by our flanker (getting off the jam) gets the CB moving. A single read on the SS is all that is necessary, if he squats to read, or waggles back to take the curl away, hit the TE immediately, don't wait! If he jumps the TE, that leaves the flanker curl wide open and you hit him. I'll run it to the boundary anytime I feel as though the defense is getting field side oriented in the PSL, and the QB has "bump it" privileges (change the play called side to the other side) if he reads it that way also.

i like quick hitches and halts that the qb and wr can do without anyone else knowing. just get a quick read of the corner and get the ball to the wr as quick as you can. let the wr do the rest. obviously, make sure he's a playmaker.
it can be a called play, or just a read at the los.
If my answers frighten you, then you should cease asking scary questions.
My favorite pass into the boundary is an out. Set your split end into the boundary (right hash). He runs an eleven yard stem, pivots (counter clock-wise) on his outside foot, and comes back to nine toward the sideline. The QB takes a five step drop and throws to the outside shoulder. Either the receiver catches the ball or it is incomplete. The ball will take the receiver out of bounds. This is what we throw for a guaranteed first down. We've had two intercepted in twelve yards and that was because the QB threw the ball to the wrong shoulder. If the yardage needed is more than nine the QB and WR know the WR will run three yards past the first down marker before breaking to the outside. The TE runs a middle route to hold the FS. The QB looks down the middle of the field as he drops to check the FS.
