Advantages of the Short Pistol
1. We have emphasized for years for the QB to step deep at 5
oclock or 7 oclock 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 slotsour 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.
8/10/2019 2013 Midline Presentation
14/55
3. Quick passing gameOur 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.
Advantages of the Short Pistol
8/10/2019 2013 Midline Presentation
15/55
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.
Advantages of the Short Pistol

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 hand five yards from the
tip of the ball. He must be in a three point stance to hit the
hole fast. Looks unconventional, but necessary.
8/10/2019 2013 Midline Presentation
17/55
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 quarterbacks 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 Plays Value
1. It is two plays in one to each side of the football. Manypeople have called it a quarterback isolation.
2. 4 defenders vs. 4 blockers. By reading one defender,
it gives the offense a hat for a hat.
3. It often draws two point of attack defenders tomistakenly take the wrong back.
4. It is the best red zone play in football.
5. The defense must demonstrate great discipline to defend
midline veer.
6. It is a low risk play.

Two types of Slot Motion, the first is the counter
motion. Slot motions toward the hand of the RB,
then inserts to the play side to block LB.

The other is the orbit motion. Slot motions like
inside veer, but has to insert in the B gap to

If this play is executed properly, that shaded areawill expand by the Drive block of the OT & the 3-tech
