The ability to run is implied. Otherwise, it's just a play action built in as an option, but it's not that effective if you're not a running threat. Dak isn't any better than an average QB in that regard.
Average from the pocket and average runner. Wilson, on the other hand, is elite at both.

I guarantee half the people reading this thread will confuse RPO with read-option.

A read option can be a pass.Again, you are confusing RPO with Read Option.
RPO: Run by RB or Pass.
Read Option: Run by RB or run by QB.
based on what I've seen the RPO is used, and MOST of the time the edge contain doesn't even care about Dak they focus strictly on Zeke. I thought one of Daks TD runs was a RPO last week and I had just called out the previous play that Dak had a TD had he kept it, I guess he learned after that play. But this is a frequent issue and opening, Dak just needs to take it if the defense isn't going to worry about him.LA opened the season with an offense that the NFL and the Boys have never seen from Goff.
Why can't the Boy Genius call an RPO offense on an opponent?
The other team wouldn't know what him em!
Isn't that a triple option? Run by RB, QB or pass?A read option can be a pass.
Not necessarily. A read option is just...read a defender, and then option off of what he does. That includes RPO, triple option, whatever else you want to call it.Isn't that a triple option? Run by RB, QB or pass?
Well, the QB could do a Read Option and then Pass, too. Let's call it the ROP.
Dak pulls the ball away from Zeke, fakes like he will run, and then drops back and hits a wide open Lamb for the game-winning score.
I'm sure there will be more changes and adjustments both as the year goes on and especially next year.Using Dak's ability to run should be the main staple of this offense. They should do more play-action, bootlegs, misdirections, RPOs, etc. Just burn that Garrett playbook once and for all. It's useless.
The QB could decide to keep the ball and run from a normal pass play, from a normal run play or from basically any play call.
Regardless, the RPO is designed as a run by the RB or a pass.
RPO does not indicate designed run by the QB.
Read Option does indicate a high probability of a run by the QB.
As previously stated, an RPO could include an option for the QB to run but that's true of basically any play.
To further the point, RPO is first and foremost a running play. It's even in the name- it's a run with a pass option. Unlike the read-option, many times the decision is made pre-snap due to defensive alignment. For example- stacked box with corners playing off? Throw the quick screen. These decisions are generally made quickly because blocking assignments are usually run based so you have to get rid of the ball before the o linemen get downfield.
I am not saying Dak is as good a runner as Wilson. He is not.
But he is effective enough as a runner that if we intentionally incorporate his legs into our offense— it will affect defenses in a similar way to Wilson in that teams have to account for it.

Wait, the Cowboys are running the old VEER offense used by Bill Yoeman at the University of Houston? Who knew?Isn't that a triple option? Run by RB, QB or pass?
Not necessarily. A read option is just...read a defender, and then option off of what he does. That includes RPO, triple option, whatever else you want to call it.
You could theoretically call a play where:
1. QB reads the DE, determines to give to the RB or not
2. Reads the OLB for the first pass option
3. Reads MLB for second pass option/QB run
Idk if you want to call it triple option or whatever, it doesn't matter. But it's always read option.
