Why is it all Rivera's fault?

You don't think the fact our OL looked different and quit using 12 personel as our main package played a bigger role than teams "figuring out" the read option.

The Golden Calf of Bristol, RG, Wilson, Kapernick and Cam all run the zone read successfully.

If it is run a couple times a game it is fine. Anyone run it as their primary offense? As for 12 personnel we went to 22 personnel and sometimes 21 personnel. Instead of a second tight end lined up in the backfield we went with a fullback. Frankly the same blocking scheme. If you looked at our offense in the read option you could see that the DEs crashed down and read Newton waiting to crunch him or the running back while Newton was supposedly reading them.

the reason it didn't work was because blocking sucked and the OL wasn't trained on how to block for an option and the only time it was used was on running plays. it was obvious. had we been able to block better and done more than run the ball out of that formation it would have worked better.

the reason it didn't work was the same reason our running game ceased being effective when davidson was the OC...the run game and offense as a whole was predictable, unbalanced, and didn't have all the personnel needed to make work what davidson intended.

read option is just another running play and the things that limit it are the same things that limit any running plays or run first offense.

      Depends on the price tag. But as another poster has noted in another thread. We are not going to be able to continue to spend our way out of our OL challenges via free agency dollars. And we certainly cannot keep shining Dan Morgan's shoes like he's the executive of the year for doing so. Any huddler here could do that. And even if we continue down that path we are going to end up in the same boat when it's all said and done. When our offense is laboring to make it anywhere near the end zone and our defense cannot save the day it's just going to be a repeat of the same scapegoating as last year. We'll blame the DC we'll blame the defense for not winning us the game etc. Anything to divert from the reality that our FO has put us in these predicaments to prop up a bad pick.

      Was coming back from work in NYC last night.  Had live TV on plane, watched first 8 minutes of Tarheels, and then realized this team isn't worth watching without Caleb and while Hubert is the coach. Proceeded to take advantage of free vodka, watch Springsteen movie and forget the Tarheels exist until ACC Tournament.

      You can argue ‘should’. It certainly could have been. And might be this year. You gonna complain if we instead sign the best proven C out there?
