[QUOTE="takethepoints, post: 323748, member: 265"] I think Boomer is right about this: it's a matter of style of the QBs and how coaches adjust to it more then anything else. To see this compare Keenan Reynolds and JT. Reynolds was perhaps a half-step slower then JT, but (I think) a better runner overall. Still, Navy seldom tried to test the edge like JT did. With their program it's simple: if the pitch read turns his shoulders to the QB, pitch the ball (unless there's no way to make the pitch). I think Coach has usually followed that with our QBs, except when he has a full time riverboat gambler like JT on staff. When that happens, it's all Tracy Ham all the time. JT was that kind of QB, the only one like that he has had here. Reynolds had the talent to be like that; shoot, he has the NCAA record for TDs. Still, he kept to the program and made the pitch on schedule instead of trying to push the edge. As I've said here before, doing it Middie style makes the option look crisper since the pitch is made sooner and the AB reaches the edge sooner. Oth, the opportunity for longer runs is greater when someone like JT is running the option because he tends to pitch late and attract a lot of opposing D players before he makes it. Result = nobody down field to stop the AB when he clears the edge and a big gain. [/QUOTE]
