[QUOTE="gtg936g, post: 43733, member: 623"] Let me throw this out there for discussion as well. Many people say that we need a true option QB in our offense, yet we do not recruit option QBs, we recruit athletes and try to make them an option QB. I am not really sure how you can define what is/ is not an option QB unless you really know how a QB was coached in HS. Most of the HS coaches I knew coached the option element by asking the QB to decide whether or not the read could make the tackle on the dive guy, if yes they would be coached to pull the ball and make the next read, if no they would just give it off. In HS this simple question/answer was all the QB had to consider in real time (or pre-snap), and due to the wide disparity of talent at the HS level it generally worked. This is not how CPJ coaches the option. There are pre/post snap reads as well as a specific way to run at a defender and way to read the defender. Unless things have greatly changed, I do not think we will find many QBs that are coached to run the option the way we approach it, so there will be a lot of retraining/learning in our system. A good read that I think I have posted before: [URL='http://www.footballxos.com/download/offense/double-wing-flexbone-offense/Option-Thoughts-Paul-Johnson.doc']http://www.footballxos.com/download...bone-offense/Option-Thoughts-Paul-Johnson.doc[/URL] [url]http://www.footballxos.com/download/offense/college-offense/2002-Georgia-Southern-Offense-Paul-Johnson.pdf[/url] [/QUOTE]
