Post O&B Game look to the 2019 Gators

[78]

Yes Franks is not a great runner, but since some defenses will ignore his ability he can get some large runs in certain circumstances. I see packages for others who now can both throw and run.

It's a read option. He gets to pick his spots. But, no, there will not be a lot of designed runs for the quarterback. Not in my opinion.

Agree. Franks is not a runner. He can navigate third-and-2 due to his size, but otherwise I think you want the ball in the hands of the playmakers.

Somewhat disagree. I think FF will be a much better runner year.

Or it could be on passing plays where they cover the receivers and don't account for him. I agree that his read option plays will be limited, and few designed runs except perhaps in short yardage situations.

He is not that athletic, but can run some.

I think some of y'all thinking Franks runs less this year are delusional. Clearly the offense ran better when he was a running threat. He and everyone else noticed the difference. He'll use that to keep the defenses honest this season, and that'll help everything run more smoothly on offense. Even if the OLine is not doing well, never knowing if what's coming next is a run or pass will slow the defense down some to help the OLine out. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

Franks is clearly the #1 QB and he looked very good playing against air in the O & B game. In my opinion, he played very well in the 2nd, 3rd and 4th quarters against halF asS U and he played well against Michigan. I think he will be improved this season.

My concerns after the O & B game are the OL and we could not really tell what the D will look like as the DL on engaged the OL and the game was set-up to show O...I suspect the OL will again be the weak link.

It's a read option, Nav. There will always be QB run opportunities.

 

[Captain Sasquatch]

Not sure who Crabtree is, but as long as we're not overly critical of Hernandez, I could see it working.

 

[MJMGator]

You gonna get in front of that and try to stop it?

 

[Swamp Donkey]

It's a read option. He gets to pick his spots. .

That is backwards. In a read option it is the DEFENSE that determines whether the QB keeps (assuming the QB is reading the defense properly).

Lol, is it not the QB who makes the final decision on what to do with the rock? Of course it is.

Well, yes, he could make the wrong read. How the defense coaches the DE to respond, collapse on the pitch or give back or the QB determines what the QB SHOULD do.

We've had both variations or poor option QBs, Chris Leak who always read give and Trey Burton who always keep, no matter what.

Okay, whatever you say.

Hell no, a giraffe's kick can decapitate you!

This is real basic and not exactly what we run but the concepts are similar. Take a look at this: The Basics of the Option Play ~ Perfect Pervis

[Theologator]

Well, I was actually referring to a couple of our All-Time Spring Breakout Performers and how being a star in the Spring game doesn't mean a whole lot.

You mean like Terrence “Hot Tamale” Holmes? Spring legend. Zero impact.

Don’t remember him off the top of my head. But yes.

Not only that, I’ve heard they can use their hooves to “shoosh” you.

I don’t need that in my life.

 

[rogdochar]

Want imbalance when it comes handling the ball. Seems obvious that offensive efforts will most pay off when the max # of plays are run through Kadarius Toney. Whether decoy or ball handler, KT disarrays opposing defenses.
Go, all Gators

"The quarterback then decides to either keep the ball or PITCH it to the running back who is in pitch relation."

Yeah, so what's your point?
