[QUOTE="mradtke66, post: 511316, member: 4199"] No, but again, Pistol Formation is NOT the same as an option play. Yes, the read option works nicely from the pistol, but so does nearly every other play in the playbook. The read-option can be run from a standard shotgun formation as well, the running back action and fake are just different. (Inside hand off action.) The Packers working in the Pistol (sans R/O) wouldn't surprise me at all. The Packers already have a a play action pass out of shotgun. Single back next to Rodgers moves in front off and across Rodgers and the back does his inside hand off motion. Rodgers puts the ball in his gut, pulls it back, and throws. If that running back was behind Rodgers, the faked running play would be something off tackle or an outside zone instead of a counter, fake draw, whatever. It'd look just the read-option right up until the keep/give decision. Give would look just like a running play. Keep would be Rodgers throwing instead of running. Hell, such a play might be an "option" in that they run the same play and Rodgers keeps or throws based on what happens after the snap (I'd guess they wouldn't actually do that. Such techniques are better suited for college QBs who don't have the skills to diagnose pre-snap. Proficient professional QBs have already changed the play and re-ordered their progressions based the coverage the are likely to get based on pre-snap reads. I'm just saying such a play would be POSSIBLE.) [/QUOTE]
