[QUOTE="Northeast Stinger, post: 1009518, member: 1640"] Vince Lombardi said a team that could run the option against us “would embarrass us.” Pros experimented with it in practice, and in preseason, back in the early 70s. The decision not to run it has to do with roster management. QBs were the biggest part of the team’s budget and you could not afford to lose that investment. I think the option would work but, as you suggest, it would sacrifice “style points.” On the other hand, I would love to see the number of one on one matchups it would create for the passing game. Explosive plays might actually be more common. [/QUOTE]
