The Newest Fad in the NFL: RPO Explained

Question is, can Tyrod run the RPO? Seems to me Dennison has Tyrod on a short leash. Not sure if TT audibles much to begin with. Is that a product of Dennison control or Tyrod’s inability to process information quickly (see Wunderlic arguments). If the big knock on Tyrod is he only throws to open receivers, an RPO offense with Tyrod would probably involve TT rolling out, look for an open receiver, if none open, use your legs. That’s basically what he’s doing now in a disorganized “run for your life” manner. 

 

...so if you're trying to win NOW while auditioning the kid for tomorrow, only a fool would refuse to loosen the leash IMO (may not be smart enough to offer such a wild opinion).....you can control his wheels so it is not a constant bailout which increases his injury risk if other elements fail, namely OL consistency which has hurt Wilson..........I would think going into camp with TT (he'll restructure from the 18 mil number because they'll be no takers  elsewhere), a 1st round draftee, Peterman and some camp pickups make some sense...........

We're seeing the run-pass option for two reasons: They expand a central tenet of offensive football while reducing risks, and quarterbacks are entering the league with experience in these designs.

 

At the core of designing a play, offenses try to identify a defender and force him to choose between two options. Your old-school option leaves a defender unblocked and stuck in conflict between the quarterback and the pitch man. If the defender collapses on the pitch, the QB keeps the ball. If the defender attacks the signal-caller, the QB flips the ball to the pitch man.
