Read Option at its finest...

[DaveThePanther2008]

Would be nice just to hand off to a running back with the illusion that Cam might run.  Just let Stewart hit the hole like other normal running backs.   The Cam play off the play action and OCCASSIONAL read option. 

There's a reason the NFL doesn't run the option, it doesn't work.  This is just a variation and it doesn't work.

When it does it is because someone on defense screwed up not because superior blocking.

Because that's exactly what he is supposed to do and how the read option works.

The play was set-up nice, Cam should have went outside, which is what appears he wanted to do initially.  The defender did a great job of coming off Stewart.

We need to stop building our offense around Cam's running ability. Build a god damn run game that can sustain itself without this read option bullsh*t and without Cam running. Once you build that and then add in Cam's running ability the offense will be tremendously more successful.

This. I hate the designed runs from the shotgun but that bootleg scramble play on 3rd down is money.

The read option was good when Cam had the legs to run it. He has slowed down a bit. We need to scrap the read option. Its not a advantage to stew because you need a scat back for it to work. It worked good with deangelo and we just kept it. Stew isnt that type of runner and the oline cant stop penetration for it to even work right.

Also cams passes are to short he is getting a little better protection. Alot of the passes sunday if Cam ppumped he wouldve ate up the secondary. They were biting on the short routes so hard.
