Yeah this guy has been banging that drum for awhile. He also kept insisting Harbaugh was gonna be the next Dolphins coach.
True.
But how ironic would it be for Ross to keep Philbin for continuity only to lose the OC?
I don't think it would bother me all that much if we got away from the read option emphasis...although it would definitely impact the running game
That read option stuff also helps the passing game by forcing the defense to play more zone coverage and helps create passing lanes inside by influencing the linebackers. There's a reason RGme found wide open passing lanes as a rookie and hasn't since. It also hampers some of the fronts the defense can play on running downs. Can't be as exotic.
Not to mention all the normal ways that an effective running game can help the passing game.

Yeah but there's too much emphasis of it although I get that it also helps hide protection issues...miami still though works a predictable route combination out of it
My biggest issue though is too much red zone emphasis with it...I think they got to let the qb play more in those scenarios...routes working in short fields to clogged zone interiors etc...
Lazor is probably the best coordinator we have had in years! Regardless of the read option emphasis.
Well, yeah, because you're reading the backside linebacker. If he is widening you throw in behind him on a slant (or give the ball to the RB, depending on the call). You can't run anything sophisticated because after all we're talking about an unblocked defender. We've added the interesting wrinkle of the playside screen, but it only seems to get a yard or so. Better than the QB getting hit.
Anyway, any team with a mobile QB should be running this stuff. It's criminal not to. A waste. Not just because a quarterback sprinting through the secondary untouched for 20 yards is a great sight to see, but because it's affect filters down to the rest of the offense. Maybe you're worried about the QB getting hit too much and think he'd be just as productive without it. I disagree. It helps him. Even on plays where we don't run it it is making the defense more predictable and easier to scheme against.
