[QUOTE="stylee, post: 89374, member: 882"] I ran this offense from this pistol. I'd note: 1) it's simply slower to do it with the BB standing up. This team counteracted this by putting the QB 1 yard back instead of 2 (I used 2 yards, 1 seems entirely pointless - seems like you'd just get more bad snaps and you no longer get any passing game or qb run game advantage you'd otherwise get with a pistol setup). It's slower and you have to adjust the BB aim point to account for this reduced speed. I also don't think having a 1-yard or 0.5 yard "pistol" changes the perception of us AT ALL. Maybe a 2 or 3 yard pistol look, but... 2) You want a 3 yard pistol AND the BB standing up? Then you keep moving your BB's aim point closer to the center (to get away from the DE). At that point, it makes little sense to base your whole offense on the veer option, instead of the backside read option. You're just not getting enough tread on the veer anymore, as you're more and more dependent now on longer-held blocks (to account for the slowed-down BB dive). So why not switch to something more amenable to longer-held blocks, like a zone read option? So this is just you saying "let's run what everyone else runs." Cool, fire Paul Johnson, because that's the only way you get this result. You're asking for a different offense, not this offense. Like I said, I ran this offense from the pistol. I had the QB at 2 yards and the BB in a 3-point stance. I also had to use my fastest guys at BB. Keep the 3 point stance and you're no longer "sexy." Lose it and you run a different offense. Your call. [/QUOTE]
