The fact remains, operating out of the shotgun 90% of the time and being a power running football team are incompatible. It’s not just about mixing up pass/run, you need to call under center/designed RB runs more than 4 times a game, which also sets up play action. People talking about our Oline isn’t great this year - the blocking schemes are much different for a read option which is a contributing factor IMO. Additionally, on a read option, the ball carrier (QB or RB) is starting from a standstill, whereas in a I Formation handoff the RB actually has some speed and momentum when he receives the handoff, not to mention the fact the RB knows he’s actually going to get the ball on that particular play and the blocking scheme/play is designed to open up a specific running lane (and adds blockers at the point of attack via pulling lineman depending on the play), as opposed to the read option with a zone blocking scheme where the RB essentially has to find whatever crease opens up on a particular play, if they even get the ball.
U can run the read option out of an eye formation but roehl doesn’t do it for some stupid reason.
If it flies it dies.
Long for the days of freezing in the south stands of Dacotah Field.
