1. Win with inferior talent (control

superior Talent)

2. Don’t block players by design3. It forces defenses to play assignment

football

4. Opponents have hard time emulatingin practice

5. It controls random blitzing



6. Simple blocking schemes

7. Fun to practice

8. Can use Multiple formations to runsame plays

9. Easy to use audibles to attack the

weaknesses of defenses

Advantages of the Short Pistol

1. We have emphasized for years for the QB to step deep at 5

o’clock or 7 o’clock to mesh our triple play. The short pistol

accommodates our desire for depth by aligning the QB 2 1/2yards away from the center.

2. We reduce the box with our alignment of our slots – our slots

previously lined up 1 x 1 off of the outside leg of the tackle

when we were under center. Now they align 5 yards wide and

level with the quarterback. We did this to make the orbit

motion the correct angle.



3. Quick passing game – Our quarterback simply catches the

snap and is in position to throw the quick game.

4. It hits vertically quicker than the true shotgun or true

pistol and just a little slower than the under center

option game (we lost a yard on our fullbacks alignment).

5. It protects the mesh from being attacked.




6. It allows us to widen our splits to 3 feet in the A gap and 3

1/2 feet in the B gap which spreads the defense out and

creates great blocking angles and natural creases.

7. It forces the hand-off key to be very definitive in his angle

to attack the dive back. Consequently, it makes the read

for the quarterback easier.

8. It gives the quarterback more time to read the hand-offkey and then transition his eyes to the pitch key, because

the pitch key is wider due to our alignment and line splits.




1. A two handed snap with end-to-end rotational spin. We had

two mishandled snaps this past season in over 750 snaps.

2. The running back lines up with his Helmt five yards from the

tip of the ball.



3. The slots must be lined up on the same horizontal plane as

the quarterback. Your motion must be quick and at an angle

where the defense cannot recognize the goal of the motion.

“undetectable motion”.

4. The quarterback’s footwork is more pivot style footwork

rather than stepping on an imaginary clock.

5. The quarterback has to be louder in our no huddle option

attack, he is our communicator.

The Play’s Value

1. It is three plays in one to each side of the football.

2. 3 ½ defenders vs. 4 ½ blockers. By reading two guys on one side of the

ball it gives the offense a decisive advantage.

3. It opens up many more opportunities for your offense because the

defense must stop this play first.

4. It is a great red zone offense. Ball goes down hill fast.

5. You only have to learn how to read and mesh and that only takes time. If

the coach and players are willing to commit to mesh, your team can

really be good.

Quarterback Manual QBs must learn:

•Gap designations of the defense•How to identify & communicate where

defenders line-up

•Handoff keys (how they change)•Pitch keys (how they change)



A AB BC C

Typically, Defenses will put one man in charge

of a single gap. That is called a gap-controldefense. Learning this concept, will enable us

to understand which defender is in charge of

each gap.

Cadence

Cadence is rhythmic and the ball is snapped on the

“S” in Set.



1. Stab ball back

2. Ride forward with the backs momentum3. Try to keep your ride step within your frame

4. Do not ride pass the front hip

5. Disengage, and sprint off mesh with slightbubble step

6. Attack outside shoulder of pitch key

7. If pitch key is hard, you’re soft and if he is

soft you’re hard

8. Pitch with thumbs up, thumbs down

mechanics - pitch and follow

QB Mechanics in the Mesh



QB uses pivot style to point shoulderto the HOK, stabbing the ball deep &

meshing with the hips (bring the ball

forward to the front hip)

QB Pose



A great way to create anenvironment of learning through

many repetitions in a short

period of time

R i B k F d l



•Flat back with a narrower base

•Have hand at 5 yards

•

Track through guards stance•Soft fold the ball

•Pad level down

•

Look to cut off tackles block

Running Back Fundamentals



•5 yard split – level with QB

•2 point stance

•We want undetectable motion

•

Go late, go fast in motion•Run through tracks of RB•Make a “ball, ball, ball” call when in pitch position

•

Optimal pitch position- 4x1•Make a “go, go, go” call when in possession of

the ball

1. Quarterback must know that he can never

pitch off the ILB unless we are blocking the

pitch key. – Put your foot in the ground &

get vertical2. We would look at motioning away from the

side we dive and base it up or base up the

front side and hope the ILB over runs theplay.

3. Another attempt would be to “bang

release” the hand-off key and hope that the

ILB comes over top too fast. The tackle will

then go to backside ILB.4. Another option is to insert the backside

slot and arch the tackle.

5. Our next option would be to block theplayside ILB with the slot.

6. The last option would be to block the pitch

key with the slot and pitch off the ILB.

7. We could use a tight end or H back to breaktheir scheme.
