Daddy got me a new fangled “PISTOL” and here is the way I use this “BAD BABY”


Firstly, I would like to thank Head Coach Ault of the University of Nevada for this great innovation and the OC Chris Klenakis for making this crazy thing run.
What does it look like. The QB sits in the Gun at 3 yards to 4 the RB sits behind him at 7 yards. Trips to one side or the other with a TE.

Let me take you al back in time of “THE WILD WEST” Gunfighters, Indians and Desperados of all sorts. They lived and died by the Guns they held in their hands, they also knew when to run as well as shoot. “So partner sit back and sip on your sarsaparilla and let me show what I have come up with in my pondering” TRANSLATED TO: Look what I have done!

I have taken into account how to use this PISTOL OFFENSE in my own philosophy, which is; “The Defense has to give something, don’t take what they give you, take what you want and let them deal with it.” So we are going to take the Middle with a three play variable or check to what ever or me….

First how does this thing work, easy the basic is the Play-action and the Zone read by the RB. My adjustment is easy, we are going to run an Inside Zone to the Y (TE) we are going to put the O-line in a 2-point stance, we loose drive but give a high hat read to the FS so he has to read the QB first. The RB will attack from the 2 hole OUT and find a break in the wall. This forces the ILB´s to read and cuts the blitz down. The SS has to watch the TE and read inside. The Qb rolls with the hand out to the backside. The three-backside receivers crack back which we either call the three pancake or run their routes. The Mesh routes by the TE and Middle receiver in the trips, and the Post and Corner moves by the other two WR, we stem the inside receiver always thus giving a crack back look to the FS if he steps up we go over the top with the Post route.
The Middle is ours- By the 32 IZ or this happens.
1.ILB play run first pass second the good fake catches them inside and the mesh is formed.
2. SS is locked, if he is in Man, the flat he leaves is open on the mesh if he covers the TE or he simply gets stuck in the read on the RB.
3.FS steps up and reads the Post route and stays if he is too aggressive and settles down on the Mesh the top is open
4. The corner route on the STEM clears the Post route of the Corner, why tell me one OLB that can cover this move on MAN if it does not happen then the Corner Route is as open as a Brothel in Amsterdam.
5. The FINAL INSULT the 15 BSG Trap and the QB has at least 10 yards.
