Learn how to use tempo, confidence and execution to create an offensive system that puts defenders in conflict. Former Chaska High School (MN) head coach Lambert Brown shares his years of experience in running systems that create problems for defenses. Using the pistol option base, Coach Brown explains how a multi-faceted offense with different schemes can be unified into an identity that creates a competitive advantage.
Coach Brown starts with a detailed overview of his pistol offense. He discusses why he runs the pistol and why he uses the no-huddle tempo in his offense. His reasons include, in part, the ability to run an entire option package from any formation while making it difficult for the defense to make substitutions.
Knowledge is power, and Coach Brown wants to know these things each week when going into a game: Who is the flat defender? Who is the edge defender? Is it the same person? Does the DE crash or box? What is their favorite coverage? Do they roll coverages? What can we take advantage of? Coach Brown shares his "pick-on" packages, which give the offense plays to run against various players (cornerbacks, defensive end, outside backers, inside backers and safeties). This is vital knowledge for any coach who has struggled offensively because of one or two defensive positions.
Coach Brown also shares his successful packaged play, where he calls two plays in one to take advantage of how a defense is weakened by its adjustments to stop certain base plays. Examples of run/pass, pass/draw options are provided in detail to give a better understanding of how to "put a defense in conflict."
See how the pistol allows the option package to run out of any formation, and learn how Coach Brown has built mental toughness and swagger into his players. You'll find these fundamentals and more in this excellent presentation.

Every successful coach needs an inside zone play in the pistol offense in his toolkit. It gives your offense a highly effective, potent inside running attack to offset any defense. Whether you're facing an even or odd defensive front, or if your linemen are covered or uncovered, this approach is critical. In this presentation, Lambert Brown shares the concepts and principles that will allow you to successfully install and employ this effective strategy.
Using PowerPoint slides, Coach Brown discusses the fundamentals, principles and concepts of the inside zone run game from the pistol offense. You'll see proper alignment of the quarterback and fullback as well as reviews of the option offensive principles and the fundamentals for offensive linemen when zone-blocking for the inside zone run.
The strength of this play is evident in its ability to adapt to any offense, including non-traditional zone schemes.
Coach Brown provides fundamental instruction on ball skills required by the quarterback to help him find the read as well as his keys during the meshing point with the fullback. The fullback is taught basic footwork and Coach Brown emphasizes the aiming point. He also focuses on identifying the action that needs to take place after the ball is given to the fullback or kept by the quarterback. He shares practice footage for the backfield drill that helps train the proper alignment and steps of the quarterback and fullback based on physical skill level. He also covers the basic footwork and reading progression needed to effectively run the inside zone from the pistol offense.
Running the football inside usually requires complicated blocking schemes that take several hours to teach. Coach Brown explains blocking concepts against even and odd defensive fronts that can be implemented with minimal coaching. With its simple blocking schemes, the inside zone allows your offensive line to block aggressively, which develops confidence within your entire offensive unit. It also helps your running backs see running lanes.
This presentation gives you sound fundamentals and concepts on the inside zone running attack from the pistol. You'll get an offense that is simple yet flexible enough to block even and odd fronts whether cover or uncovered - all the while giving your team a mechanical advantage and outnumbering your opponent at the point of attack.

Building on years of experience in traditional triple option football, Lambert Brown has created a system that is easy to implement into any offensive scheme. Why the outside zone? Coach Brown gives you several reasons that the outside zone play should be part of your offense. With the outside zone you get:
- simple rules,
- three possible points of attacks,
- the opportunity to make the defense play assignment football,
- the ability to stretch the defense horizontally, and to open the deep passing play action game,
- an offense that doesn't require a back with great speed but one that has good feel and vision
Coach Brown emphasizes these points and tells you how they will help your offense.
Discover how his modified zone scheme simplifies the way the players learn it. In this presentation, Coach Brown not only teaches you the base outside zone play, he also shares four variations that protect it and add diversity to the overall scheme:
- Stretch - a predetermined give to the superback with quarterback booting away
- Jet Read - quarterback replaces the superback as the inside run man; superback leads on the jet
- Option - turns into a triple option with the quarterback keeping or giving the jet; the superback becomes the option man with the jet back pitching
- Speed Option - double option between quarterback and superback attacking the edge
These plays, which are blocked in the outside zone by the line, change the look in the backfield. In turn, this gives you the option of looking very complicated while teaching your players just one play on the line and then having your backs learn different ways to run them.
Coach Brown shows you how to identify defensive fronts using simple, common terminology. The outside zone play is drawn up against multiple fronts, followed by game footage showing how the play should be run.
In addition, Coach Brown provides four variations off of this base play that help protect it, forcing the defense to expand their game plan against this dynamic offense. You'll get an in-depth study of the outside zone and also learn how the stretch, jet, option and speed variations protect the outside zone play and add diversity to the overall scheme.
Any coach who runs the outside zone or is thinking about running it will get a great understanding of the play with this presentation.

Coaches often see the inside run game frustrated by an opponent filling the box with defenders. The spread offense takes defenders out of the box while the veer concept attacks the box. Lambert Brown gives you an easy, step-by-step method to incorporate the zone and veer blocking systems to keep any defense off balance.
Coach Brown begins by breaking down his philosophical approach to this style of offense. You'll learn how his background in a traditional under-center, veer offense evolved into a pistol offense that includes the inside zone play. Learn how to take advantage of your talent even when you may be at a disadvantage.
Using a PowerPoint presentation and game film, Coach Brown covers every technique necessary to marry the two offensive concepts. From quarterback footwork and reads, to offensive line footwork and aiming points, he thoroughly guides you through this transition in a very logical, methodical and step-by-step fashion.
The zone and veer scheme lets you stretch the field and gain a numbers advantage by leaving various positions unblocked.
Coach Brown begins with his slightly modified inside zone run. Then changing only the quarterback's footwork, offensive line aiming points and the superbacks aiming points, he expands his offensive attack by adding a veer component. By doing this he gives the offense a very potent and powerful second set of weapons. This enables you to adapt a proven inside run system and add it to a spread offense.
Coach Brown breaks down the terminology for offensive linemen to execute effectively and confidently at a high tempo. See how blocking schemes are set up against multiple fronts, with an emphasis on how lineman step to attack the different looks they will see.
Included in this presentation are cutups of quarterback drills as well as game film cutups. Coach Brown dissects this offense from the pistol formation, showing how it can attack every gap on the football field.
Get greater results from your run game with this inside zone and veer scheme. The nightmare that you can create for your opponent by utilizing this easy-to-teach hybrid may be exactly what your offense has been needing.

Learn exactly what makes the Gap Read in the Pistol so dangerous!
Using a PowerPoint presentation, Lambert Brown shows you how to combat the common problem of a stacked-box defense against an option offense. Coach Brown's presentation demonstrates how to execute three read-play variations that use misdirection to keep the defense on its heels and take advantage of blitzes and stunts. He emphasizes how these variations are designed to look like other option plays such as inside zone.
Coach Brown begins by explaining his trap game, which is the basis of the gap scheme. Blocking rules for each position are diagrammed and discussed to provide strategies on how to block any defensive front using guard trap, guard trap/tackle pull, and guard trap/wing pull variations.
Coach Brown also covers where he would like to run the ball. First, he looks at running the play to the side where the offense has numbers. Next, he looks at picking on a defensive weakness or the side that has the best blocking angles. The GT and GW Counter are also covered as well as variations for each play that include an option or fly sweep. You can involve many different players in your offense using these variations.
In addition, this presentation is filled with game footage that provides a visual of how the offensive scheme ties together. Coach Brown shares several key coaching points on each play, and points out common mistakes and adjustments that need to be made during the course of a game.
Order now and implement an effective misdirection game that can be a nightmare for opponents to prepare for and successful against any front.

Every spread offense needs a solid passing game. Using a concepts approach to route running, Lambert Brown details his quick sprint out and play action passing game from the pistol formation that's simple to understand but looks complicated when motions and tags are added to it.
You'll learn concept route combinations that an offense can execute using multiple formations. Using a PowerPoint presentation, Coach Brown takes you through each play, explaining receiver rules for both 2x2 and 3x1 formations. He also shows game footage with multiple looks at each play, giving you a visual of how the offensive scheme ties together so you, too, can run the pistol passing game to perfection.
Coach Brown shows the hitch, vertical and snag concepts as well as a play action passing game to marry with the zone running game. Teaching the play out of several formations, he gives an informative and easily understood explanation of the routes (and variations) ran by each receiver and the progression of the quarterback. In the vertical passing attack, a tag creates a shallow crossing concept that gives the offense the ability to make adjustments during the game to take advantage of any offensive mismatch.
The snag concept gives you the ability to hit a quick slant that converts to a stop, a sail route and a bubble. This play is a good option for showing quick for a first down or putting the ball in your best athlete's hands with the bubble. Coach Brown also shares a nice variation with the snag return play.
You'll also learn Coach Brown's numbering system, which provides a fluid, fast-paced passing offense. You'll also see how he calls and executes concepts to coverages. Players are empowered to adjust their routes based on pre- and post-snap looks to expose the holes in the defense. Receivers in this system don't operate in isolation to their route or their side of the field. Instead, they know how their responsibilities in a given concept use space to stretch and expose the defense.
If you're looking for a simple, effective system to expand your passing game this season, Coach Brown meets that goal with his strategies for deep and intermediate routes that stress the defense.
