explain RPO vs. spread/zone read

Stopping a RPO is very simple. You take away the pass and force the run to the strength of your defense. It's not rocket science.

The RPO gets shut down all the time. Why do you think it isn't used at the NFL level? It's easy to stop.

#1 - They are used in the NFL
#2 - Linemen can't go 3+ yards downfield in the NFL, which is why they're not used as often in the pros

Lineman can't go past 3 yards in college. It's not used in the pros much because it can very easily be stopped.

Redbank is too funny. I can't tell if he's trolling.

1) It is policed at the college level.
2) There are 1 or 2 NFL QBs that are able to mix it into their game. That's it and it isn't very successful when used.
3) Stop pretending you call plays. You don't.
 
Are Run-Pass Options the Next Big Thing to Hit NFL Offenses? | Bleacher Report


RPO's work against DC's on all levels of football but ol' RedSkank says they're simple to stop.

Article mentions Cam Newton, Colin Kaepernick, Robert Griffin III and Russell Wilson as qbs who could run it. Kaaya does not have the wheels. Also, this is an entirely new offensive system for Kaaya, with new terminology and reads. People keep saying he has regressed, but he hasn't ever been asked to be a RPO qb before. Give him some games to adjust. Lastly, the OL run blocks whether it is a run or pass. If defense isn't concerned about RBs busting through the line for big gains then it becomes easy to stop : rush the qb, and since OL isn't mirroring or pass blocking to create a pocket, they have free runs at the qb. You need a more mobile qb or a very quick safety valve route. By the time the rb and qb have reached the mesh point, defenders are about a yard away from the qb with a full head of steam.

RPO's have nothing to do with having wheels. It's not the option. It's a RUN/PASS OPTION, meaning the option to run (hand ball off) or pass.

If you tell your D-line to simply rush the passer then the QB will just hand the ball off and you'll have vertical running seams in the middle of your defense. The RPO passing routes only take a second. They're quick routes. (slants, bubbles, seams) The ball is out of the QB's hands before the pass rush can get there. The OL is still blocking the DL, they're not just letting them go. Go watch an RPO plays and observe how quick the ball is out of the QB's hands.

Our offense kills people with RPO's.

You guys wanna argue/debate but are extremely misinformed about what an RPO entails. I don't get it.

You guys don't know more than the DC's who are paid good money to stop RPO's. If it was that easy then it wouldn't be the biggest offensive trend in football right now. Watch/read and learn instead of just being a contrarian.

Yup^


You have zone/read/RPO's that are basically 3 different options in one play. QB can hand the ball to the RB on zone, pull the ball and run around the edge, or throw the bubble.

We (Southeast) run an RPO where our QB pulls it and starts running around the edge...and when the flat defender attacks him he throws the bubble to the slot WR. He's wide open every time because the defender who was covering him has to take the QB.

Right, and Rich Rod has been running that for years. IZR, if DE crashes you pull and read OLB to throw bubble (2 WR) or read CB to throw now screen (1 WR).
