Pistol Spread RNS Switch Smash – Hawaii’s run and shoot offense can now be run from the Pistol formation. The traditional staples such as RNS Switch Smash can now be found in the new Pistol Spread formation. Hawaii and SMU’s playbook also features the run and shoot version of Pistol 4WR Trips.
RNS Switch Smash sounds like a video game
i assume this means that they switched all of the shotgun formations to the pistol in hawaii's pb?Originally Posted by JBHuskers
hopefully they have our qb lined up in the pistol at 5 yards deep instead of 4 like nevada. but i doubt they would make that change.
Nice. I'll def be checking out Hawaii's PB next season if they did indeed switch everything to the pistol.
It says "can be run from the pistol". Does Hawaii run only pistol formations? Just wondering. It seems like that's correct, but the wording is interesting. I would like to see teams that don't have a true, traditional goal line package (like a nevada, or hawaii I think), not have one in the game.
Didn't they switch to it exclusively last year?
ya, hawaii did...even though its a pistol alignment, its the same depth (5 yards) as how they lined up in the gun. its not a 3 or 4 yard snap like nevada's pistol.
and we still have a traditional goalline package though, jayrah. its used very sparingly though....most of the time, the play call is a speed option to the strongside of the formation.

Pistol Train Triple Option - Primarily used as a short yardage power set from the Pistol, the Train formation as it’s called by Nevada gives the offensive a variety of ways to attack the defense in short yardage situations. The Triple Option play is one such play that can be used to attack the defense.
wow with all these new pistol plays/formations I'm definitely intrigued about the possibility of using it next yr.
Anyone use the Pistol currently care to comment on its effectiveness?
I exclusively ran the pistol for most of my dynasty last year, it is an awesoome playbook but I will say its about an entire season learning curve. And get the fastest QB with accel you can find.
JB is it possible to get the play art as the clickable link like earlier instead of embedded into the forum. I cant see them at my job as imbedded pics but I can click it and open the play art. I know this is a very personal request so if its not possible no harm no foul.
Edit: Nevermind I see you are editing your first post with the play art link.
Also don't these plays look like other plays already in the game?
I think it's about half & half showing off new plays and new formations. You're right that a Pistol Triple Option is in the game but the formation itself is new.
Gotta say, it's about time they actually fleshed out the Pistol like it should be... Looks good. REALLY like the balance of that formation. Interested to see who that is lined up next to the QB (probably a FB, but a TE or 2nd HB would be nasty).
This looks great. My favorite new design so far!
A TE next to the QB on a option play would be nothing more than a backside blocker, as a user I wouldnt even respect him as a threat, aslo it looks like it would be your 2nd string TE becasue I would imagine that your starter is on the line. I would assume a FB though, and you can flip in a 2nd RB.
LOVE this play! I can definitely see Nebraska running something like this too. I hope that some of the pistol formations have found their way into their playbook.
For the last week or so, i've been running Pistol exclusively, and I'm liking the new formations and setups to keep people off balance. Just make sure you make the right read.
so, on passing plays in this formation, would the left tackle be an elligible receiver?
I'm guessing it's a Tackle Over formation, MVP.

I like the Pistol but I abandoned it after 3-4 games in NCAA 11. I just could not run the ball. I prefer Pistol sets with an RB and an FB but without custom playbooks I could not get the right run game for my liking.
