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'm an O-line coach who is aspiring to become an OC. I've read alot about the Mesh and QB reads for OSV, but I would like to hear what some of you coach your FB to do after the Mesh on OSV. I have always thought that the FB should square is shoulders and turn north and south as he disengages with the QB. He finds the hat of the TE and makes the appropriate cut off of his block, keeping is shoulders square and running downhill at all times. The cut will generally be between the TE and OT vs a 4-3 or tight to the outside of the TE vs a 50, but I want him to be a running back and read his blocks. This year, after the mesh, our FBs were coached to stay on the same OSV track from their position in the I, through the Tackle, to the numbers, and get outside with the ball. That was a new one for me and I was wondering what some of you coach your FBs to do once the ball is in their hands.
That is why we call it the veer angle. The dive back(FB) on the ISV is told to aim for the outside hip of the PSG and that heads him to the hash, to the numbers, and to the boundary if he continues on that path. That is the way I teach my QB's also. I don't want him running back into the heart of the defense but prefer to keep him in a perimeter situation where he will be faced, for the most part, with a one on one tackle by a DB. On the OSV, the FB is stil running a veer angle and we teach him to stay with that also. But, if he can pick up additional yards by cutting back inside he is encouraged to do after he gets outside on the veer angle because we feel he is built to take those hits, where a QB generally isn't.
