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.
this may not be "THE" way to play it, but this is what we termed roll coverage and how we played it; we stemmed from a 2-shell look and would either roll weak or strong. what roll meant to us is that the cb to the roll side would be the flat defender and play a hard corner similar to cover 2. the safety to his side would roll to the deep 1/3 over the top of the pressed cb. the backside safety would then take the middle 1/3 or post and the backside cb would then have the remaining deep third. we did this to squeeze a particular receiver or a side of the field. don't know if this is what you were looking for, but this is what we did and how we termed it. good luck!

Roll 3 is a nice change up to a Cover 2 shell. I didn't like the Sky call where the Safety aligned on the Twins side is responsible for primary force on a run away from the passing strength. I don't think he can get there.
I agree. I didn't like the looks of that from the get go. What I do loke about it is that when I run cover two, I have safeties that want to fly up and make a play on a run, when they have all pass responsibility. This allows for my safeties to be animals and for my corners to cover.
We also roll our coverage out of a "2 shell" look. We have basically two types of roll coverage based on who we are forcing with in the secondary. 1) IF we have a sky call then the safties "roll" into cover three with the playside safety taking the curl/flat and the backside safety taking the deep third - the corners have the deep outside thirds. 2) IF we have a cloud call then the playside corner forces and plays the curl/flat with the safeties taking the deep outside and middle third - the backside corner has the other outside deep third !!
sky support is how we play what we call cover 4 (not necessarily the same as everyone else.) we play 4 on run downs so the safeties can run...it is similar to robber with a 2-high safety look. we came to this because at the time we were an option team and it was a way for us to attack the option soundly without giving up anythig. it is always tough to defend the option though. cover 4 would allow the safety to run the alley, the cb's are deep 1/3 players and the backside safety rolls to the post. if we called 2 roll the cb would support hard right away, the play-side safety would roll over the top to the outside 1/3, backside safety at the post and the cb = deep 1/3. pretty much the same thing, just different terminology, as is it in most cases.
