I played 15 years. Never made to the NFL but played a few years in the CFL. You don’t expose your QB to the option and you surely don’t run it when your QB has on a big knee brace. Football is a violent game. In the NFL the rules protect QB’s in the pocket, take off and run at your own risk.
Why wouldn’t you call it a tackle? The NFL is stilled ruled by slow footed pocket passers. The rules favor drop back passers. If your QB can sit back and pick apart a defense that’s what you do. You don’t run the option because of the speed of NFL defenses. How did that pistol look against the Steelers?
Remember in 2009 the Wildcat was going to change the NFL? In time defenses figure it out plus NFL players are just very FAST. The 49er and Seattle O line is better than Washington's.
One season and one major operation for RG3 is not a good return on your investment.
Don't want to see RGIII out for long. Great kid, great player. I even would like to see the Skins take control of that division for a while, despite the smugness of HAIL2BING.
Says the guy who thinks the pistol is a gimmick. Let me know when you learn about it. Hell, even Pittsburgh ran it with Big Ben a few times.
