I'm certainly not a football expert by any stretch of the imagination, but I know many of you on here are. So, my question is two-fold; 1) do we run any packages like this, and 2) is this really something new?

[PassInterference]

Not new at all. You can run the same option play 5 times in a row and have it look at lot different on each snap depending on how many options and reads there are in the development of the play.

[Political Hack]

even high schools will go to the line with a run pass option sometimes.

I guess I'm missing the point of the article, because it's titled "...Newest Form of Option Football".

[QuadrupleOption]

So how do you defend it? Try to figure out what formation they're in and what options they have, then disguise your defense and jump the underneath routes?
