In an era when all football coaches are looking for the next creative scheme and competitive advantage, Art Craig has merged two powerful, effective systems into one. He calls it The Timberland Wolf-Gun.
When you run the Midline Option from the Flexbone Pistol you get:
- A cutting edge offensive scheme that blends the flexbone veer with the pistol formation
- An explosive running play to a three technique defensive tackle
- One of the toughest-to-stop short yardage plays in football
- Blocking angles on every defender to break long runs
Coach Craig shows you the multiple formation packages he uses to stress the defense to the breaking point. Master the mesh and mechanics of the Midline Option in the off season using Craig's unique options tree.
After showing you the mechanics, Craig diagrams the blocking scheme for the Midline before showing you game footage of the play from multiple formations as he coaches you up. One major advantage in the option game; you don't have to have overpowering offensive linemen. The Midline allows you to read a 3-technique defensive lineman to dive or keep--no one is assigned to block him. The Midline compliments the Inside Veer that is run to the 1-technique. This combination allows you to attack either side of the defense with an option attack.
Coach Craig's mix of "chalk talk" and game footage demonstrates how to incorporate motion and thoroughly details the nuances of executing the Midline versus all defensive fronts and adjustments.
With over 1-hour of run time, this DVD will help any coach looking for an innovative change with chapters explaining the advantages of the Midline, the implementation of the snap, the basics of the play, the "option tree" steps, practice drills and skills, and game-day cutups. Package this DVD with the Flexbone Pisotl Inside & Outside Veer videos and you too can see how his dynamic offense can dominate any defense.

When the game is on the line and you need a touchdown to win, the Outside Veer is your go-to play. Everyone on the field and in the stands will know it's coming, yet it can't be stopped.
When defenses load up to stop the inside veer Art Craig goes to his outside veer and gashes the defense for big yardage. Utilizing the outside veer within Craig's "Wolf-Gun" Offense you will experience:
- How easy it is to install into your offense
- The ability to attack the edge of a defense with lightning speed
- A tremendous goal line play that is almost impossible to stop
- Offensive formations that can outnumber and dominsate the defense
- Practice strategies and drills to make your own Flexbone Pistol Offense unstoppable
In addition to the sheer power this play possess, it is also easy to install. Coach Craig shows you the multiple formation packages he uses to stress the defense to the breaking point. Implementation of the special two-handed center snap is discussed and shown with practice video.
Coach Craig has his players work on the veer tree to master the mesh and mechanics of the outside veer in the off season and every Monday and Tuesday during the season. You will see video action of his players executing on the tree and learn the importance of making your own tree.
After you learn how to run the outside veer out of the Flexbone Pistol, Coach Craig shows you the outside veer using game footage to help you better understand the offense. Craig goes through game film and points out the weaknesses in the different defenses that he faces and the areas he likes to attack. He goes through the different areas of the field and the different situations in which the outside veer is most effective.
Give your offense a change up to the inside veer and gain big yards this season using the outside veer play!

Imagine defending the Flexbone from the shotgun, add to that a quick passing game, a sprint out package and a rock solid play action passing game. That would be a nightmare for any defensive coordinator, but a high scoring dream for you. Art Craig discusses his passing game and the use of multiple formations to create his unique combination offense.
Using arm bands to simplify the learning process for his players, Coach Craig shows you how he puts the package together using word association. He uses names instead of numbers for the plays, formations and pass protections. You'll get a detailed look at Craig's Wolf-Gun Flexbone quick game, play action, and sprint game, which allows you to:
- Teach a simple yet effective passing game
- Stress the defense to defend a strong passing game to go with the veer option
- Create a unique offensive scheme that is fun to coach and fun for your players
The Play Action Passing Game provides extra time for your quarterback because the defensive line must respect the possibility of the run. This will allow your wide receivers to move in space as aggressive, defensive play-makers' freeze to respect the play action. Using practice film, Craig coaches you through the quarterback steps on the jet sweep play action before showing you game film with Y-Seam, Switch, Radar, Wisconsin, Oscar, Lava and Plato Sideline routes. You will also learn which running plays compliment the Play Action Passing Game.
The Sprint Game adds yet another dimension to the explosive Flexbone Pistol Offense. An athletic quarterback can attack the perimeter of the defense by using his feet as a weapon. After showing you the correct footwork for the quarterback, Craig shows game footage to coach you through the Florida, Hammer, Flame, Trail and Read sprint out passing game.
This DVD would help any coach looking to add to his passing attack and makes the Flexbone Pistol Offense package an extremely effective, dangerous offense.

It's time to make the defense pay! If the defense is so concerned about stopping your option game, this is your chance to hit them for big gains and big plays.
Art Craig explains how to confuse defenses by adding complementary plays and multiple formations to the Flexbone Pistol Offense. He delivers six dynamic plays that complement the veer as well as formations and motions designed to outnumber your opponent at the point of attack. Coach Craig shares game video of the complementary plays as he coaches you through each play:
- The Wolford Toss - Used to get the ball outside when the tackle box is loaded up to stop the veer package.
- Counter Trey - Gives the offense a counter play that wreaks havoc on defenses that flow hard to the ball.
- The Sweep Series - Another way to attack the perimeter of the defense for a team that does not have a great offensive line.
Coach Craig's mix of "chalk talk" and game footage demonstrates how to incorporate motion and thoroughly details the nuances of executing these plays versus all defensive fronts and adjustments to give the offense the advantage.
Regardless of your offensive scheme, the complementary plays and formations used in the Flexbone Pistol can be adapted to any offensive scheme and are sure to create a headache for the teams on your schedule.

Surprise the defense by starting your goal line offense at the 15 yard line!
Art Craig lays out his amazing attack plan for the red zone, which starts on the 15 yard line. Craig's philosophy is that the defense is not in the goal-line-stand mindset at the 15 yard line, which makes your offensive play book wide open from a Compressed Formation to a Spread Formation.
Coach Craig uses multiple formations, motions and set plays to create his high percentage red zone package. His unstoppable Flexbone Pistol goal line package includes:
- The Eagle Formation which spreads the defense for his counter and passing game.
- The Tiger Formation creates a tight end set.
- The Red Formation is a double-tight, double-wing formation used for running the Outside Veer and the bone crunching Super Power.
Included in this DVD is Craig's No-Huddle Offense thoughts and procedures that he has uses to dictate the speed of the game. Craig shows that you can call the No-Huddle several ways; with signals, wristbands or with numbers. The Flexbone Pistol uses a 20 play script in practice to prepare the quarterback and team for critical game decisions. The fast-paced Flexbone Pistol No Huddle Offense creates enormous pressure on the defense. If the defense does not align properly they are "in for a long night."
If your offense is struggling in the red zone or you want to implement the no-huddle offense this is a must-have DVD!
