[QUOTE="Techster, post: 423225, member: 360"] Did some digging on past plays. To your point about modifications for an RPO, but really you don't even have to "tweak" or modify the blocking if you look at this: [MEDIA=youtube]9dZTXlZhy_g[/MEDIA] Counter option with trips alignment to the left of the formation. Playside is to the right off the motion to the left, but if you look at the backside of the play, the Y receiver (middle reciever if you count the AB as Z WR...which he is) is abandoned because the DB is following the motion. DB covering the X clears out of the play by virtue of marking the X WR. Y receiver could have easily peeled off and run straight down the seam and he would have been wide open backside. If it was implemented, Josh could have easily pulled up and threw a pass had the backside WRs been included in his reads. The "pocket" around him was relatively clean. Blocking assignments here were more the playside, but in either case, there was no downfield blocking carried out...the closest thing was 73 getting swung out at the 3 yard mark past the LOS. In terms of reading the play from a QB perspective if you were to turn this into an RPO, I would go: 1. Backside DB over the Y. If Y DB turn in with motion, pass is there. If Y DB runs with the Y WR, refocus on the option. By the second step off the QB twril, what the DB locks into is pronounced. The first drop steps off the snap is already to that side for the QB to focus on. 2. IF the Y WR is not open, refocus to the playside counter option. Obviously, the reads here would follow along with the defensive reads of the counter option plays. Pitch or keep. Play assignments won't always be that clean, but most of the time they usually aren't. The idea is, if you teach it and practice it, guys know what they are allowed to do and what they are not allowed to do. That includes blocking. Now, taking it a step further in contrast and comparing to typical RPO plays from other offenses: [MEDIA=youtube]id=xS5rQoWlhcg;t=17[/MEDIA] You notice that the QB pull (from the RB) and pass out to the flats is very similar to the play that I linked to from your earlier post: [MEDIA=youtube]Anv5ScE-DWc[/MEDIA] Tevin could have easily read 1. Dive, 2. Pass to Hill (end result), or QB keep to backside. CPJ tweaked the blocking here knowing the primary read was going to be pass, but the Dive/Keep could have easily have been implemented off the same blocking scheme. So can GT have a legitimate RPO game off our plays? Absolutely we can. Minor tweaks or adjustments, mainly on QB and WR assignments, and I can't imagine why we wouldn't use them seeing as defenders are so keyed into their defensive reads after 10 years of going against CPJ's offense. I'm sure if we wanted to we could analyze other flex option plays and figure out tweaks. [/QUOTE]
