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.
Gentlemen: Coach Tom Bass has referred to segmenting defensive fronts in gap control. He used this to help D-linemen against delayed blocks. He has his OLBs make calls to the DEs. Also, calls are made from MLB to DTs or nose, depending on the front.
The calls tell the DL how to play - either stunting to a gap (slanting or pinching) or bull rushing into the O-lineman.
This concept enables you to adjust segments of your defensive front to any formation or personnel set. You don't have to make a complete change in the defensive call. Coach Bass says this is really effective against short or long motion.
QUESTION: Have you used this technique and, if so, how do you teach it? What adjustments/ cautions do you have? How effective would it be with a 3-4 or 3-5 front?
The adjustments the defense can make are numerous. With this defensive audible sysyem, it enables you to make calls based on a great number of variables. You can audible based upon formations, splits, number of receivers, D & D, etc. How many of you coaches have used this, at the high school level? What have been your results? Is it even worth considering?
As I understand it, basically, it is an audible system the defense uses. LBs make calls relative to formations, for example, that tell the defensive lineman/LB to play a certain technique, stunt, stem, etc. The idea is to add flexibility to what the defense does in response to various formations, sets, number of receivers, etc.
Yes, but it can be broken down into segments/gaps and not involve the entire front. My interest is better knowing how to you teach it. Also, are there particular adjustments/cautions in its use?
