Shazaam! Another rehab connection for Botch as he stands at the entrance collecting film-room tickets!Extra coach to work with QB.
RPO can work if you are only handing to the RB. The QB run will never be a viable option in the NFL. The DL and LB's are too fast and safeties hit too hard. College QB's that rely on the running the ball as a main part of their game will never survive. sCam Newton is the exception and even that monster can't do it near as much as he could in college. That is the thing that makes what's happening in college not work in the NFL. The spread has been in the NFL for years. It's just a different version predicated on spreading the defense all over the field and getting good matchups and then having a QB that can find the weakness in the defense and throw the ball accurately and on time.Frankly, the NFL is starting to realize that they're gonna have to adapt to what high school ball has been doing for over two decades and college ball has been doing for the last decade or so. The Eagles' college spread influenced offense shredding people with their backup quarterback engaged the NFL's trusted copy-cat protocol. When the linemen don't even know 3-point stance anymore, the QBs are coming up in run-pass option offenses, and the skill players are getting educated in spread concepts...you can't just keep running the same singleback or i-form sets with complicated terminology and even more complicated reads for the QBs.
Yep, the NFL RPO is a true double option instead of a triple option as we see with Hurts and other QBs in college. The NFL teams are using the extended hand off at the mesh point to read the post-snap coverage for advantageous passing situations. They like their guys having a bit of athleticism like Nick Foles, Alex Smith, or Carson Wentz because they're often going to be bootlegging and moving around a bit in the pocket. Plus, it provides the threat of the QB run even if it is only used a handful of times per game.RPO can work if you are only handing to the RB. The QB run will never be a viable option in the NFL.
