re: It took 15 weeks for our staff to run the read-option.

you are wrong here sir. He pre-determines reads. He got lucky in the first half on a few big ones but it was pointed out several times in the second half that he was making the wrong read. he doesnt make reads, its a pre-determined decision. If he made the right reads it woulda worked all year but it didnt.

The truth is that nobody knows, but everybody is acting like they know. Some say the coaches are calling a predetermined read. Last night, Hanagriff and Risher seemed to think that there was a little more reading going on by the QB (but they don't know either).

If the coaches are calling a predetermined read, then Jennings would not be wrong when he takes the ball and it looks as though he should've handed it off. It would be on the coaches for making that predetermined decision. Jennings didn't "get lucky" last night. He just did a good job. Even in the 2nd half, I believe he averaged 6+ ypc on read plays. I saw one play where they said the wrong read was made (but if he isn't reading it and the coaches have made a choice before the play, it isn't that he made the wrong read).

And no fan is able to say if Jennings has made up his mind (if he has a choice) on what he will do with the ball before the play. Either way, however it was actually done last night, it worked as well as it's gonna work.
