@cover2, a certain former poster here who shall remain nameless is adamant that none of those plays are actually options, and that if AR took off running on those plays instead of giving to the RB then he'd just be making up his own plays rather than running whats called. Any comment on that, because it sure looks to my admittedly untrained eye like those mesh handoffs are option reads rather than just a give to the back to make a zone read.
Bottom line is that if AR isn't running the ball it could be one of 3 things:
1. The coaches don't want him to run so they don't call any plays where he is supposed to run
2. AR simply misreads the end or whoever he's supposed to be reading and makes an incorrect play, or
3. AR doesn't want to run the ball for whatever reason and winds up giving the ball no matter what the proper read is
While I can't think that anything other than 2 is likely, what none of this does is prevent him from scrambling when the routes don't open up. IMO this guy needs to count to about 3 or 4 potatoes and then take off instead of trying to move around and force some low percentage throw.
