The Read Option

One of the reasons plays take so long to develop in our horrible scheme is this damn play option BS. This reminded me of the Giants game earlier in Cams career where we were dismantled in prime time. The read option isn't working and it's killing us. Other than Stewart it was clear none of the RBs even know what to do. Not to mention the fact that those two seconds of give or keep and our horrendous oline is a recipe for disaster.

Is it to much to ask for us to run a normal offense and have Cam run when it's open? I didn't see any Read Option with Anderson and while they may have been playing more preventative defensively, the options seemed to open up more in the passing game. Time to get Funchess involved especially. Let's get some snaps under center, this scheme is not working.

We don't have to eliminate it completely, but every damn play it's the same slow development, why can't we do a simple hand off up the middle, or a sweep without the fake every time. Rant over, we will come back from this too much talent. Shula has to change this.

      Thielen was a "dawg" like Dan Morgan likes to say. And they replaced him with puppies.  The analytics are probably saying this is more targets for younger receivers they are hoping to develop, specifically the first round pick from 2025. The eye test is going to show a very inexperienced group of WRs that are going to have some serious growing pains, for a 3rd year QB who has not yet proven to be the guy going forward.  It's crazy how in the literal first game of his NFL career, Cam Newton showed everyone he was a star QB and there was never any doubt about that. It almost didn't even matter who was around him, although he definitely had a serious lack of talent at WR for most of his career. Bryce is going into his third season and there is still a ton of doubt, and who is around him is seen as crucial for him to have success. I don't like it.

      Everyone says AT was old and slow but the one thing he could do consistently was get separation. That takes skill and it's been a huge issue in our WR for years. And while Moore may be a great locker room guy and our WR coach may be a 12 year vet, he's not playing in the game. Vets like AT do what they do because they can see things others don't and exploit it. The DB interview I mentioned before was with Stephon Gilmore after his DPOY season. He was pulling the younger DBs aside showing them things you wouldn't even think you'd be able to tell from the way the receiver was standing.  Seeing what a DB or LB is biting on in game that can give you that half step advantage is huge and we don't have that experience in our WR group right now and I think it could end up hurting us. None of our receivers have lined up against NFL corners successfully on a regular basis. Having someone that can walk over and give you a tip to get a half yard separation can be a difference maker.

      We only fielded about 4 NFL calibre players on that unit last year.
