Until the 49ers OC realized that if a defense commits to stopping the read option, that other plays are completely open without putting your QB in harms way. Once the 49ers OC pulled his head out of his ass, the 49ers came charging back.
We run the quick pitch. Let the defense commit outside guys to the inside. A good OC will burn that, just like the 49ers OC burned the Ravens the entire second half.
Most of you against the read option think that we run it 85% of the time. It doesnt need to be done more than a couple of times a game to get the desired result.
