You are absolutely correct. The read otpion is a just a series out of that pistol formation, there are penty of dives, traps and play action.
It's not a gimmick, it's here and not going anywhere. The pitsol is very tough to defend as the Lb's can not get a good read on the Rb's behind the QB standing up. Anyone who says otherwise doesnt know what their talking about or has failed to do their homework. They are just thinking they are great and feel pretty good about themselves spewing garb from their tongue.
This not the wildcat and it's too damn successful at all levels to go away anytime soon.
