3 he D Wing and Pistol Offense he D Wing and Pistol Offense Merging wo Unique Systems into a Fun and ffective Youth Offense 1

4 Merging the D Wing and Pistol Merging wo Unique Systems into a Fun and ffective Youth Offense During the 2006 season we experimented with some simple shotgun formations to try and help our 9 year old Q, who had a difficult time all year with the basic techniques in the D Wing. He was so pre-occupied with snap count cadence...reverse pivot footwork...roll out technique, etc. that on any given possession we were guaranteed to muff a snap from center that either killed a drive or resulted in a turnover. y midway through the season we began to look for something...anything, that would give him less to think about so that he could keep focused. As it turned out, moving him back to 4 yards and direct snapping the ball seemed to be the answer. Fortunately we had a center who could make the direct snap. he Q's play improved, he had a lot more fun, we were able to maintain possession and for some reason all our base plays seemed to develop noticably quicker. he bottom line was we played better offensive football. hat started me thinking about how to build a comprehensive direct snap offense in with the D Wing. I also had become really interested in the evada Pistol concept and thought there might some potential for blending the two. he goals in putting it together were: 1. Keep it simple for youth players to learn. 2. Keep it simple to teach. 3. Where possible, utilize a zone blocking scheme for the base plays in the offense. 4. reate a lot of visual variety without a lot of execution variety. he goal was to find a way to put the two systems together as seamlessly as possible and sacrifice nothing for either one. One of the keys to the effectiveness of the D Wing is the ability to get into so many different looks by moving the backs and ends around with pretty simple and direct terminology. We want to do the same thing in the D Pistol and we can with little or no change. (I am still experimenting with a little different terminology to name formations and would be interested in some input from you guys.) ven with a direct snap alignment and more use of spread type formations, this is still primarily a running offense built on much of the same platform as last years D Wing. If we find out we have the ability to pass the ball, there is plenty of opportunity to do that as well. he major change is in using a simple zone blocking scheme for much of the offense. heir are some adjustments we will have to make and diferent techniques for linemen and backs to learn. If we are all on the same page from the start, then we have a good chance to make it work. 2

5 Play alling For a lot of reasons we want to keep play calling as condensed as possible. It saves time and it is easier for kids to remember. A play call has several parts: 1. Formation 2. Motion if any 3. all arrier and POA 4. locking and/or other ques. alling a Play in the Huddle Snap ount Ready...Down...Set (motion back goes in motion)...hut 1...Hut 2...Hut 3... As an alternative to go on a quicker count we will call the snap on "DOW". he "Ready" call gives our O-Line the ability to time the snap and get off quicker to get a greater advantage over the defense. 3

6 he Split nd S 5 H 3 6 W 4 S 5 H 3 6 W Diagram 1. F 2 Diagram 2. F 2 he S's Advantage he advantage the S has is that he will almost never be asked to block a defender aligned directly in front of him. He will always have the angle advantage. On running plays to his side (Diagram 1.) the S is track blocking to the nearest deepest defender () and will crack the linebacker (1) along the way if he can. he cornerback () in front of our S is now placed in conflict. If he covers the S for pass, then not only will the S crack block 1 and then stalk next, but the corner will also be taken out of the play too by chasing him. One offensive player has just taken out three defensive players! ut if the corner sits and plays run (Diagram 2.), the S s pass route starts out identical to his track block route, but he will break off and he ll come open for a pass. he corner is placed in conflict, whatever he does is wrong. On running plays away fro his side, the S will run a simple post route. ventually he will come open for a big reception down the middle of the field, behind the Safety who will have begun to cheat up to help out with run support. 4

7 locking Rules his is oach Zack's territory so until we can get together, I am just showing a basic outside zone scheme. Other schemes require a few adjustments. asically we will ask our linemen to learn six different schemes: 1. Zone 2. Power 3. Stretch 4. Speed 5. ounter 6. rap his also means that we have basically 6 running plays...keeping the offense pretty simple. However with different formations and different backs carrying the ball, it can look a lot more complicated to a defensive coordinator. 5

8 locking ues S H W Zone he basic rule for linemen starts with recognizing whether they are "covered" or "uncovered" at the snap. "overed" means they engage the man in front of them and wait for the double team to come. "Uncovered" means they engage the next defender to their outside (playside), resulting in the double team. One of them will then slide off and take the L that threatens. F Power vs. 5 man front asic Wing rules where playside linemen follow Gap-On-Down rule to seal the inside.

We will use the W in motion to kick out the D S W H acks Over 26 Power F S H W Speed he keys here are for the H to log the D or just prevent him from getting to the outside. he playside ackle releases HID the D and takes widest defender. he playside Guard releases across the face of the D to slow his penetration then look for 1st defender to the inside. he S will crack the nearest inside defender.

His vision is better...he isn't distracted by his drop or rollout technique and he can make quicker decisions. We saw this to be the case last year when we toyed with a PISOL formation. We will teach our Q a "midline" footwork technique that is explained on the next page. he diagrams on the following pages do a better job of explaining and illustrating some of the different formation options. 8

12 Motion in the D Pistol S S H W H W RIP J S S H H W W POWR ROK S S H W H W LAZR LIZ Motion remains a key feature in the offense. he W will still be the primary motion back in the offense but there are possibilities for utilizing motion by the H and. We also want the advantage that going on 1st sound gives, especially when throwing a different look at the defense than what they may have seen for the last several plays. While they are "thinking", we want to snap on 1st sound. Any play called on 1st sound..."go"... automatically means there is no motion. 10

13 Q and F Footwork in the GU Post-snap position. Q is in a mid-line position. Pre-snap position he Q's footwork will be different when running from the PISOL formation causing him to end up in a mid-line position with his back to playside. After handing off he will attack the A- gap on the backside of the play. he sequence is as follows: 1. As he is receiving the snap he will jab step forward and at about 45 degrees with his playside foot. 2. He will step back with the other foot so that he is now perpendicular with the LOS...eyes on the backside D. 3. Get the ball out and back at least even with with his hip. We want him to mesh with the and ride him through to just past parallel with LOS before handing off. 4. Fake keeping the ball and attack the A- gap. he also has a different track from the PISOL when running his dive and power plays. At the snap he will take a backwards hitch step for timing purposes and than run straight at the playside A gap. After receiving the handoff he will make a quick move to adjust to where the hole is opening and then get as verticle as possible into the called POA. Shown above would be 23 ZO. If this type of exchange tecnique proves to be too difficult, we can revert to a conventional handoff technique. We will need to try opening to playside as well as reverse pivot to determine how the timing works best. 11

14 Zone Plays With the introduction of the Pistol one-back alignment our really needs to be more of a ailback type but we will continue to tag him as our, mainly to keep consistant with last year. He will continue to be the workhorse of the offense. he Zone plays to the and even the H will be the staple of the offense. Success with these plays will open up the Q as another running offensive weapon and also set-up the Sweeps and Speed plays which were so successful last year. he Zone plays, in particular, can be run from virtually any formation making it more difficult for defenses to scout and scheme for what they think they see. 12

24 Stretch and Speed 47 Speed he base play in the J SRIS is still 47 SPD and our experience last was that it was still a killer play from a direct snap formation.

Footwork is KY here so the OL will need to drill on keeping in front of an attacking defender with footwork and hand technique. 39
