[QUOTE="Pkrjones, post: 576299, member: 9982"] The article regarding CM3 not being able to rush with unbridled fury because of read-option responsibilities is interesting. If the read-option is meant to capitalize on UNdisciplined rushers who lose contain then why is CM3 being tasked with the responsibility of "contain or crash the rushing RB"? Put Matthews at ILB opposite Hawk and give him the responsibility of crashing the RB in one of the interior gaps OR rushing the QB up the middle through one of the gaps. There would be numerous benefits: Neal or Perry in the OLB slot are tasked with keeping contain and forcing the QB to hand the ball off. CM3 gets to crash the RB and/or rush the QB from virtually anywhere between the tackles with Hawk responsible for his normal read/react tackles in the other gap(s). The only drawback is there might not be as much pocket-squeezing that CM3 normally does, but there will also be MORE pressure up the middle. We would also lose some flat-coverage with Neal or Perry, but over the last few games that has fallen on the Safeties more, anyway. Thoughts? [/QUOTE]
