Quote:It was effective in Miami until defenses figured out how to deal with it.  It would probably work a game or two for us before it stopped working.  Drob throwing passes doesn't sound good to me.  He's a full time RB, and we haven't had much luck with that crap.  Maybe if it's something like a jump pass at the LOS after he takes a handoff then sure.  

 

It's a bit gimmicky yes, but honestly, I think defenses still have trouble defending this if they are backed up on the goal line. Of all the times we've used a read-option, I don't understand why we never use it near the goal line. All it takes at that point is a slight hesitation by the defense and either Blake can run it in, Denard can run it in, or if using "Wolverine", Gerhart or Todman can run it in.
