Re: To Read Option, or Not
Absolutely read option. Kyle should spend the next few months evaluating his offense to add new wrinkles, making it version 2.0. Keep both the pistol and the read option but don't stand pat in terms of scheme.

Re: To Read Option, or Not
Ironically the thread title should be to dropback pass or not. After like the 2nd or 3rd week RG3 never took a big hit on a read option play. The only time he took big shots was on traditional passing plays where he scrambled. Most notably the Ngata hit and the Weatherspoon hit. In fact the read option ended up being our safest direct play for RG3.

The read option is also the #1 reason why Morris gets so many yards on running plays, creating more 2nd and 3rd and short. Its all about the THREAT of RGIII running.

Re: To Read Option, or Not
Keep running it. It would be stupid not to run it. However I would like to see more 4-5 wr sets and a no huddle offense. He did those things so well at Baylor.

Re: To Read Option, or Not
We saw it so much less in the second half, before he got hurt. Russel Wilson ran it 3 times I think? I don't think we use it much more then that.

Re: To Read Option, or Not
That's because he was hurt 2 plays before the 2nd Skins TD in the first quarter. Griffin was essentially dragging his leg the rest of the game.

Re: To Read Option, or Not
Sorry second half of the season, he averages about 8 run attempts per game. Figure maybe half of those are designed option runs, with the other half being scrambles.

Re: To Read Option, or Not
The read option should continue to be valuable play in the Redskins scheme of things. I say we should keep it. Because it was from a college football playbook, I was surprised how NFL defenses had all types of problems stopping the read option all season long. Will there ever come a time when RG3 will run the tradition Shanahan modified West Coast Offense? Probably so...but until then the coaches should continue to implement what's been working.

Re: To Read Option, or Not
For what it's worth , we ran the ball very well at the end of 2011 , with Rex @ qb , the left side of our line out TW/KL , no F. Davis , with Royster @ rb. I think we should continue to use what worked in '12 , maybe run some miss-direction .... Houston Oilers w/ E. Campbell , and maybe some strech plays , Manning / Indy ? We have plenty of talent at our skill postions . Hope one of the youngsters on the OL can step up .

Keep the play, replace the field.

Re: To Read Option, or Not
Rg3 has to have learned. When a 350 pound NT crashes into your leg and kills your knee, then you begin to think of what can be done differently. Diving, sliding, and running out of bounds should be his focus when he's running out there with the pigskin.
