They sprinkle the option in quite a bit. But they also still stick to the roots of the west coast passing game and zone blocking run scheme.

Watch this Alfred Morris highlight video and you'll see RG3 take more snaps from under center in this video than cam has all year.

They are running about the same mix we did last year.....which % wise works out to be a majority over anything else I would wager.

RG3 biggest runs, as well as Cam's, came when things broke down in the pocket, not on designed runs.

Cams long TD run against Tampa last year, may be the only time he's scored off the read option.

I'm cool with QB Draws, and QB Power, but not so much the read option. Definitely not with the amount we've been running it this year.

Hmm... May I ask why?

While RG3 has been outperforming Cam here lately, I don't think that he will continue to do so going fwd. moreover RG3 has already suffered a cuncussion in his short career. He will be more susceptible to them going forward. RG3 is also smaller and IMO more fragile. Cam is a specimen. Once the League figures out Rg3 I expect him to struggle as well.

Cam is struggling due to the system that we're running this year...once they figure out to let Cam be Cam we're going to see an offeñse even better than it was last year.

Just my opinion, I have more to say but my iPad is being gay while I. Typing right now

I give you Cam's size, that's a big advantage he is and I prefer Cam as a runner but RG3 is the better passer right now. He also is showing signs of a true leader, putting the game away today and already leading some comebacks. He doesn't lose his composure, I'm not putting Cam down I think Cam is going to be VERY GOOD but RG3 is going to be elite.

Nothing surprising about RG3 playing well, that is if you watched him in college.

He's a better passer than Cam but that's mainly because Cam still has a footwork problem he needs to fix. Cam's the better runner though.

The Skins offense is much better than ours in terms of scheme. They have a average O-Line but they run a lot of short passes and stuff like that to alleviate pressure. That's a huge reason why RG3 has the highest completion % in the league iirc. They run the ball well and their PA game is a killer.

      Some homers' opinions of the OTs that we may realistically be able to get at 19

      By MHS831 · Posted

      You could say that-- but if we don't need a starting OT this year, why would you draft a flawed one that is not going to play? (We are coming from different underlying assumptions and perspectives--I see your argument and don't disagree with the premise) Your thinking is based on the assumption that an OT for the future is more important than immediate needs at other positions, or that we can meet other needs in later rounds even if we take the OT in round 1.  I do not think there is but 1 OT worthy of a first-round grade---they are mocked based on need and demand--if we do not have a need for a starter right now, a team at 18 may grab a T that is the 33rd best player--worth it if you have no starting T, but not if you have a starter.  So just because they are mocked around the middle of the first it does not mean that the players are good values--teams get desperate.  QBs are a great example.  Simpson may be worth it in round 1 for the Cardinals, but not the Jets, because they have Geno Smith.  Sure, they will need a QB by next year, but taking Simpson is a reach. I do not see our need, with 2 starters (Walker and Moton) and another possibly returning by the end of the season enough to justify ranking OT over positions like Safety, Will LB--I do not think we replaced A Shawn Robinson (We gonna put a NT out there?  Wharton (280lbs)?  So do we reach in round 1 for a player who may not play much or do we get a Will LB that can cover?  A deep free safety?  A quality center? A playmaking TE?  A DT to replace Robinson?  A wide receiver to balance the secondary?  Long term, if the right player was there, you would be right.  Short term, OT is a luxury at this point, in my view.

      We arent switching. Evero is 3-4 to the core. Given how 3-4 has been a noticeable characteristic of top defenses recently and we have drafted and signed players fir it  I dont know why anyone would think that's a good idea
