Why don't the Cowboys run more RPOs?

[TheSport78]

Dak has historically struggled versus zone concepts, so I'm puzzled as to why the Cowboys don't implement more RPOs. It's essentially an extension of the running game, but it'd be a good way to get Lamb involved early, get the ball out of Dak's hands quicker, open up the running game, and so forth. We see the occasional read option, but Prescott and the coaching staff probably want to limit the exposure to hits with the ankle.

Thoughts?

Dak is over 30 and can't run like 2016 any more.

You answered your own question, the ankle, and even then Dak is slow at running, he lumbers. But that might work with the young cat, Lance.

RPOs typically don't involve the QB running. They can, but it's not a necessity

The run option would be handing it off to the RB, not tucking the ball and keeping it as the QB.

I thought that is just a typical hand off? I'm confused. lol

It would take Dak 3 minutes to get revved up to run!! He's so slow or maybe it's the ankle

Breaking News: I'm sure we'll see a lot of this this weekend with Lance

Dak is essentially pre-snap determining if he's going to throw a bubble screen to the WR or hand it off to the RB.

I'd imagine so, and definitely some read option too.

The read option is an rpo

No it's not.

Cause the QB is a GIMP and runs like he's constipated..............Next question?

Wasn't able to post it, but this teaches the basics.

Well, I always thought that a RPO was the QB can either run the ball himself or pass depending on what he sees the defense in. That is why they call it Run, Pass Option. Maybe someone smarter than me can fill me in, I might have had it all wrong.

 

[Coogiguy03]

No it's not.

What's the difference

Nope. Typically the run option is to the RB. You're thinking of the read option, where the QB either hands it off to the RB or keeps it himself and runs; he's just reading the edge defender to the side the QB would tuck the ball and run.
