[QUOTE="Techster, post: 250134, member: 360"] Why is downfield blocking even a concern? Who are we blocking downfield if the play is designed to be an option between QB run and pass to the uncovered CB? That's the point of the RPO, it's designed to mimic a play, but in turn, the it's really a 2 (or 3 man) game between the QB and WR. Our OL will still be diving at defenders knees, and the perimeter downfield blocking is nullified because the the CB is either covering the WR streaking into the open gap, or crashing down on the QB/pitch man. At that point, if it's a pass, and the WR catches the ball...he's 1v1 versus any safety that didn't crash down into the box like they do on every play we run an option on. If the QB chooses to run, that's because the CB took off with the streaking WR. That's one less defender in the box than what is going on now. I'll take my chances with JeT and Qua both at even numbers. To me, the ultimate goal of an RPO is to act like the our BB dive. It's a constraint play on the DBs. Keeps them from crashing the box skewing the numbers back in favor of the defense. [/QUOTE]
