pistol zeer 

We run the Zeer at the HS I coach at. The kids love it and believe in it. You are combining two great run concepts into one.

Coach Mac great play! Wondering if you can expand a little bit on the footwork, aiming point, and visual read of your TB vs. both even and odd fronts? Thanks

I will try and do something vs 3-4 looks. We try not to adjust blocking schemes because it slows us down. Somebody in the 3-4 has to become the c gap player and that's our read. The tackle must be ready to block the end if he slants and we read the olb. We also run a bunch of 2 back stuff and use the h back as an extra blocker.

No problem, hope it helps.

Do you ever have your slot receivers on the front side block downfield and eliminate the bubble option?

coach could you expand on the aiming points of the linemen and technique you have them utilize. additionally, what run plays do you utilize to compliment this play that does not involve motion.

Your first example of the play with a 3x1 showed a 4-3 defensive front with the safety rolling coverage to a 1. I use a defense that keeps one more extra defensive back than wide receivers (either 3-3 nickel or 2-3 dime depending on personel), so my question is, with one or more men out of the box in these fronts, is this still as effective with the speed of the defensive backs?

Coach, what's your adjustment to cover 2? We are looking hit slant over top of a nosey corner. I just wanted to hear your thoughts on zeer vs cover 2. Thanks coach!

Coachfb, We just seem to get better push with gap schemes. We use all the same zone variations but with veer rules. So many compliments to it

Yes we will block the perimeter sometimes and make it a double option. We just call the veer with no key.

Great stuff!

Coach, What's the depth of the QB and TB?

We only read front side c gap players. By changing up the reads it adds more things for qb and oline, and i like us playing fast and simple. Most guys would check it to the 1 technique, but id rather call plays faster. Whatever works for you is best. I stay with my philosophy which is not for everybody. We spend time teaching the backs where the blocks will occur vs each front. I f we can get 2 or 3 vs the 3 tech im fine with that.

Great schemes coach!!! I have many questions vs 3-4 or 5-2 defenses. If you could please show more vs those fronts. Do you handle the S and the R with formation or do you ever stay in your diamond and read or block them? Also vs the 3-4 how do you teach your qb to read the c-gap, whether the DE or the S or the R is the read? Just a few of my questions...Thanks for your time, effort and energy.

I am doing a glazier webinar on Pistol Zeer with Key Screens on May 7th. Hope it helps.

Coach, I will be coaching a 7th/8th grade team this fall. I want to install this offense. Do you think I could do it with younger players?

Thanks coach!

Coach, if you were to run Zeer to the right with a 3 technique to the playside. Is the footwork for the guards a quick up-down step with their right foot while the Center and playside tackle would be immediately on zone tracks to the left? Hope this question makes sense, very intrigued by this play.

Coach, if you're aiming the play at the playside A Gap, do you ever run into the playside DT (especially if it's a 2 or technique (or even like a 4i end) getting washed down into the back?

Is there any other passing concepts that you have for 3rd and long or maybe even a tempo throwing scheme from this concept

Hey coach, I know this is an older video, but I was wondering if you could explain the blocking rules a bit more. How is that veer blocking schemes? It seems like that is zone blocking to me. And then adding in your screen as your pitch play. Enjoyed the part about the key screens.

I agree coach ghost ty Mac I agree

Ryan, We don't change our rules much if any at all vs odd fronts. If you are 10 personnel the 5-2 and 5-3 teams have to account for WRS somehow. If it's straight man and their dudes are that much better then scheme doesn't matter. It's still a game about numbers and 10 personnel will eliminate a lot of 5-3 5-2 defenses.

Coach with this scheme, why wouldn't you follow the veer concept of optioning the playside 3 tech? It seems that by doing it your way the blockers would be taking the "trash" into the dive. A lot of dive back climbing into the O-lineman's but if that makes sense?

When would you run this vs power read?

Franz if you are going to attempt to ridicule the video at least be funny.

Many of these plays and concepts will also work for badminton.

Also very tasty.
