[QUOTE="bobgodd, post: 495277, member: 6205"] Maybe you all know already, but there's a bit of misconception around the read-option. The 49ers have been deploying an offense that revolves around heavy use of the Pistol formation. The Pistol is similar to shotgun, except the QB isn't as deep in the pocket, and there's usually a RB directly behind him. There was a fantastic article done on this by one of the 49ers beat writers; but basically the pistol allows the QB to get the ball in the RB's hands faster, and this creates problems with the defense not having enough time to diagnose the running plays. Pistol also allows for a wide variety of play-action, and also read-option type plays. I don't think I see the 49ers relying heavily on read-option. I think they believe that Kaep can sling it with the best of them and they're going to let him sit in the pocket and do that if possible. Like one poster said, I think they use the read-option if they see that the defense isn't ready for it. The beauty of it all, is that the can accomplish all or most of this from one singular formation, which does not let the defense key on anything. [/QUOTE]
