What do you think of Russell Wilson running the read option?
I like it, and think of it as a great addition to what we do.

I'll give you the standard .NET answer: If it keeps working, it's brilliant!  If it doesn't, it sucks and we should fire Bevell.

Did he even do it in college? At NC State he ran the west coast, and at Wisconsin it was pro-style.
Only reason Griffin and Newton do it is because their coaches want them comfortable.

Who here agrees that its just another weapon/asset for the offense that makes it more difficult on the other defenses to stop the man Russell #3 and beast mode.

I like it. However it mainly just needs to be to keep the defense honest and busy thinking. Thankfully Russell seems to know quite well that it doesn't feel good to take on LB's and safeties. So as long as he takes it himself very infrequently I love it.
Just be careful with it...

I hate option in the NFL. Too gimmicky, plus it's a great way for your undersized QB to get slammed over and over again.
No thanks.

Why are you calling it read option in one string and WCO in another? _________________  Still missing you everyday pal.

As long as e don't go to it too frequently and get Rusty shitkicked, I don't have a problem with it. Like a reverse, the Sidney Rice pass or the bubble screen to Golden Tate (which is the greatest play in all sports) it's just something else for the defense to have to keep an eye out for. Makes us dynamic and a little unpredictable and being upredictable makes defenses play on their heels (which makes them easier for Marshawn to run over). Nothing wrong with that.

Only reason Griffin and Newton do it is because their coaches want them comfortable. He did do it at NC State his first season and got injured at least twice. Once early and the second time in the bowl game when we were dominating rutgers in the first half and then the second without RW we laid an egg and lost the game. I don't like anything gimmicky that continously puts the QB in harms way. Once in awhile - sure fine. Several times a game - don't like it. I was fine with the first scramble / run in the Minnesota game I was fine with. Mainly cause I turned around and said they should run RW here and boom they did

I have an even better idea: Why don't we just pull all the linemen from the game except Unger and have Russell Wilson run straight up the gut. Be a much more effective way to get our QB killed if we're going that route.

And have Kam Chancellor go get Jeron Johnson some apple pies, cuz he's clearly playing like a rook... _________________ Papaki douchebag love turtle long time When the Thunder play the Grizzlies, I'll be cheering for a tornado.

Be a much more effective way to get our QB killed if we're going that route. I think the read option is fine, and effective, if used sparingly. Wilson didnt even take a hit on the play and it picked up positive yardage. I'm all for anything that gains yards and like others have said, its just one more think defensive coordinators have to think about and prepare for. _________________

Old Fart Alert!!
When I see Tom Brady, Peyton Manning and other elite QBs doing it, then I am fine with it. Until then, it is a gimmick and needs to be shelved.
End Old Fart Alert. And now get off my lawn you darn whippersnappers!

Well, I wouldn't go so far as to say that. It is Tebow you understand. Totally different category. I mean elite doesn't even scratch the surface with this guy. _________________ "Pray to the LORD now...Seattle are a bunch of heathen atheist Canadians."

Yah uh... who said we want tom Brady or any old fart elite qb. Besides Aaron Rodgers could probably run this kinda thing and he is elite from the eyes of most. Point is Russell isn't like any of those quarterbacks and neither is the offences they play in.

Maybe if we just ignore this guy, he'll go away? I'm starting to think he gets off on this sort of thing.
