ScorpionZero Posted November 13, 2021 Posted November 13, 2021 (edited) RPO, only works when the other team thinks there might be an option. Josh never sells it with his head or vision. How many times have you seen the running back get an easy 5 yards because they know Josh is gonna pass it, they don't even fear the RPO. BECAUSE we don't use it like it supposed to be used. The defense doesn't fear the run of it, because every drop back is an RPO. And Josh is already looking down field. Of your wanna ***** them up, play a fullback, tailback one right, where you have to fear 3 . A good play action leads to 9-15 yards ready, or hand it off for whatever gain. Or Josh could run it himself. At least you would be giving them 3 things to worrya about. Or start using the RPO LIKE it was meant to work. The QB has the ultimate responsibility. Use your head, don't look down field until you have to. Make yourself look like a handing off QB. and for godsake hand it off now and then to confuse the defense. The reason it hasn't worked to this point, like it should it's your not giving the linebackers enough to think about. It's not hard football. Sometimes I think it's over thought. But Josh is underthinking it. Every body movement and especially head movement sells the play . I think he should spend some time with a used car salesman. Edited November 13, 2021 by ScorpionZero 1
Hapless Bills Fan Posted November 13, 2021 Posted November 13, 2021 This topic is already under discussion in multiple other threads, including data on how often we actually run RPOs, how often we actually run play action, how successful we are with pass plays from both, etc etc. 2
