Wasn't sure of a good place to post this, so hopefully this is a good place.
Could someone familiar with RPO help explain this play for me? Couple questions are, who are we reading? Who was the WR supposed to block?
My assumption was we should be blocking the corner there, but we don't really have numbers to that side of the field, so if the corner sets the edge, the slot should be getting turned inside to an unblocked lb who will have safety help as well.
I also thought most RPO's were based on reading lb's, but this one seems to be leaving the defensive end unblocked like in a typical read option. Are we reading the defensive end and the linebacker here?
I assumed this type of play is going to be a staple moving forward, so I would love to understand it better. I remember yelling at the screen at the time due to lack of blocking on the edge.
