Next, SEA/CAR, two RO teams that practice against it with two strong defenses.
Finally, our Skins v Philly. A college coach, well versed in the RO, with a DC who can run both 4-3 or 3-4. And obviously our D goes against the best RO qb everyday in practice.
All in all a great opening weekend, and Football is Back!!!!

Speaking of read option,not nfl related but watching BYU just destroy Texas last night running the read option was something else,but unlike us{this yr} BYU was not afraid to rush their qb who had over 250 yards rushing.
I think the read option can still be somewhat effective for us,but without the threat of the qb running with the ball it wont be what it could be.
And I'm not saying we should run RG3,I dont want us too,but defenses know were gonna be scared to run him so when we run the read option they wont have to worry about him running with it{unless of course the season starts and the skins defy everybody and run RG3 like they did last yr}
