quote]Then why aren't we running more RPO?[/quote]
RPO means run-pass option. The “option” isn’t between the QB himself running or passing. Typically a RPO is an option for the QB to handoff the ball to a RB or pass the ball to a WR. It shocks me how many people feel confident enough in their football knowledge to post on a message board yet they don’t understand basic RPO offense philosophy. in an RPO offense rarely does the QB run the ball himself. It’s ridiculous

I think that you are using the wrong term. RPO means that the QB reads a DB/LB while riding the ball with the RB. Based on the read, he either hands the ball to the back (R of RPO), or he throws to where the read defender vacated (P of RPO).
Likely you are referring to zone read, where the QB reads the backside end (or LB sometimes) and either hands off or keeps based on the read. I swear I think that we are supposed to be reading the backside on virtually every handoff. And we have had the backside DE crash our RB OFTEN this season for a TFL. I think that JD just reads slow. I'm not trying to pile on to him. But the way they block most running plays look like we are supposed to be reading the backside DE.
