The read option isn't off the table. Otherwise why did they practice it so much and ran it a bunch in preseason games with White?
It's definitely still in the game plan, but depending on game situations sometimes it will be called more often, sometimes less.
We fell behind early against Philly and couldn't get anything going. The RO isn't a threat when the other team knows you're in catchup mode and are going to pass every play.
Too many people are falling into the trap of looking at the results of one game and drawing hardline conclusions about how the other 15 games are going to go.

I think from everything that's leaked out, there are hints that he doesn't want to run it. Would you agree with that? We had the ball a few times when the game was close and it was not run.
