[QUOTE="Techster, post: 250036, member: 360"] Let's get this out of the way first: CPJ's offense works. When clicking on all cylinders, it's pretty devastating. That said, teams are getting far better at defending it. Not only that, but it seems like defenders are not even pretending to respect some of their responsibilities anymore. DBs are abandoning their coverage to crash down the pitch man or QB. Teams play us with one safety, and sometimes no safety because they'll take their chances against our pass game and what they've seen on film: for the most part, our ABs and WRs are pretty much going to just block on pass plays. If DBs don't need to worry about one side of an offense, it makes their job SO much easier. The beauty of option offenses is that it's supposed to take away the defenses numerical advantage. In most offenses, the QB isn't accounted for because they just sit back and deal the ball. Because our offense allows safeties to crash the box, or bring extra defenders into the box, we lose that numerical advantage. Lately, it seems if we can't "out athlete" teams, we are usually in trouble. How about adding a wrinkle into what we do? Enter the Run - Pass Option, or RPO as they like to say. I saw Ole Miss run an RPO play that looked VERY similar to our triple option play, except their WRs didn't try to block the CBs, they took off down the field. It was very similar to this play: [MEDIA=youtube]MdOJKGqZJNA[/MEDIA] The difference was, Chad Kelly (Ole Miss QB) had a pitch man next to him like we do on our 3-O plays. Now, you're creating true stress on the defense because the corners and safeties have to be responsible for the Pass AND Run. Corners and safeties can no longer crash the box like they are doing now against us. Not only are we creating stress on the perimeter defense, but you're also making the defense hesitate because now they have to choose. Crash the "play box" or turn the receiver loose. As we know, when it comes to the option, hesitation equals devastation. [/QUOTE]
