Falc_Fan_Since_Six Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 I realize the Kapernick and Russell's of the world and even the Sham Newtons are making people nervous with all the college crap offense coming into the pros but defenses will catch up. LIke most sports the NFL is cyclical. I don't even watch college ball, I don't care for it and I hope it doesn't take the DC's long to contain all the read option crap.

sdogg Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 The one thing that will turn franchises off on these types of QB's, are injuries. Constantly putting your franchise QB in harms way is not very smart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Absolute Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 It's fun to watch but when it gets stopped what else do you do? Mike Nolan has seen it 3 times this year. We got a plan for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rod23 Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 Everyone remember when Vick was using this scheme with the falcons? How did that work out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE ICEMAN Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 I'll say Vick didn't read the d like keapernick did tonight and yes he can be stopped if you have an elite defense Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leland Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 Referring back to a post I made in another thread.The super offensive gameplan that stumped the the Packers super defense.If Crabtree = Open ThrowElse RunTheir offense was extremely simple but it seemed as though the packers didn't want to make adjustments to stop it.

Never really "read" a defense, just looked for his first option and then took off if it wasn't there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TorontoFalcons Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 Since it is becoming a more common phenomenom in the NFL, I do think defenses will catch up and do a better job with these read option qb runs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falkonator Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 its not so much the read option that is dominant, but much more the QB running it. CAm has success with it last season he was mediocre this season, russel Wilson, Colin kapernik(sp?) RGIII all rookie QBs and new to league(colin second year pro first year starting) so defenses are more vulnerbale to the new QB running it, next season they wont be so great like this year. i see Wilson being the best out of them.

If you do it all the time, eventually defenses catch on.. it is what happened with Cam.. They didn't get it going again until after they went back to a pro-style offense with read options just sprinkled in.I do agree with you though, if a team just runs the read option nearly every play..... they will eventually get figured out and stopped. The plus for the Seahawks and 9ers right now is their defenses. For the 9ers, they also have an elite Oline. Teams may know how to stop the 9ers read option, but with the 9ers Oline knocking everyone on their arses, teams may have a hard time putting their "know-how" into action.

Greg Roman is incredibly smart at disguises and giving the D different looks. Put Ryan in that system and he'd be spreading the ball out to more than just Crabtree. But yeah, the Packers are pretty dumb for not making obvious adjustments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tribal Chief Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 I hate that garbage and have no respect for scrambling QBs like Kap, Scam, Vick, RG3 or any other pure scrambler. Not saying they aren't good but I don't respect them. I'm a stand in the pocket run if needed kinda guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Negatorris Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 The thing is when is the last time a QB like Vick or Cam won a SB? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rajhae Battle Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 The key to defending the spread option to me is every time they run it hit the QB anyway, now i know that presents some challenges esp. the way the NFL babies the QB position, but the edge guy has to be disciplined enough to resist the temptation to crash down the line thinking the RB has the ball. He has to stay on that edge & hit the QB like he ran with the ball anyway. Eventually that QB or even the coaches get tired of his QB taking unnecessary hits. I do agree that defenses will catch up with this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ballfan Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 The DE has to stay disciplined and keep contain. Matthews was never home. Can't just rush the QB and look for a sack. He won't stay in the same spot every down. Hope Abe was watching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
