Read option

[Playmaker3128]

I was watching some of the all 22 highlights posted here. Dak was running well…. To the point he actually outran a couple linebackers.On the one td drive dak has a couple nice runs including the read option 4th and 1.

My question is why won’t we utilize this more? Even without the threat of the pass.. you lineup ceedee… pollard… zeke. Run some motion. It’s hard for a defense to account for. Find the ball. on top of that dak is big enough to outmuscle defenders one on one.

I'm sure we will in the playoffs. I just think it's been shelved a bit to make sure Dak stays healthy, it's a long season.

I have talked about this before, we need to run Dak early on a couple times let the D know he could take off at any minute that gives them more to worry about. Think they ever thought run with Philip Rivers, Eli Manning, of course not. D has to be thinking....run?...pass? not just oh yeah pass.

I would say 2 reasons. Dak has been afraid to run and Moore likes to pass....ALOT

Moore does not know how to utilize what he has got. Period. The team needs to be closer to a 50-50 run pass split if the offense is going to operate at its greatest capacity. We used to kill teams with the read option especially inside the 5 yard line but it has nearly completely disappeared from the playbook.

Dak seems to be over the injury so I can't say that's the reason he's not running, could be a psychological thing, but most likely it's the financial investment. But to quote him after his TD run versus Atlanta, he reminded us all that sometimes people forget he's a big mother

Now that it's win or go home I certainly hope he takes the yards when they are there and does whatever it takes to keep that offense on the field. He says he's seeing the field just fine so there's no excuse to leave any yards out on the field, whether he gets them on the ground or by air. It's win or go home, everyone needs to take their game up a notch.

I’m seeing a lot of defenses play tight man coverage and only rush four guys. Last week a couple plays dak scrambled and made them pay. The first skins game dak used it to clinch the game.

We also ran the read option a couple times and it worked. I remember when the rams ran it an entire season with Goff. It causes confusion.

If defense are gonna clamp down also on early downs we can make them pay

Dak isn't quick enough to run a read option

Dak has said it's a risk reward thing and implied he will run more (take more risks) in the playoffs.

Would love to see him run and slide to protect himself.
He seems timid about running
Maybe the effects of the injury?
