zone read/ read option offense

GOMG2013 · September 15, 2014

I have watched several zone read/read option offenses while watching college and NFL football this weekend.

Some have been asking for an exciting, less predictable offense. The read option is exactly that if you have a qb that can run. You may guess that a run is coming, but you wont know from who until the last second.

Im sure our backs and OL are happy Dajon is starting this week. TEs will be able to slip into the flats...more roll outs...

Exactly. Plus less 8-9 man boxes. I know it was against second teamers, but Evans had huge run lanes on the zone reads and I expect more of that. Facing the fronts we had been facing and with our play calls we were not seeing big run lanes, even when we blocked the plays up well.

We dont have to change much in the way of play calling. Chico will call a few more plays suited towards Dajon. The biggest thing this offense needed was a guy who could complete a pass. I think we've got that now. Plus we got a guy who can make D's think about his running ability.

At the very least it's just another option to go with if for some reason the pass isn't working. It keeps the D-ends from crashing down which was happening way too much.
