Essentially it’s defending a run or a play action pass. The fact that the QBs decides during the play rather than before doesn’t change defensive principles.The Eagles have used the RPO particularly with Wentz but also now with Foles. I don’t see Philly changing up a whole lot in the SB, so how does Patricia stop it?
And given the amount he has played there is just enough film to pick apart how he reads it and not enough experience to deviate.If the Pats D knows what keys Foles is reading, they can feed him that key and then configure the rest of the defense to stop what his key-read is telling him to do.
I think in the past BB has gone with 3 DTs (5 man front,) to stop the run option, and turn the qb into a pocket passer. Isn’t this what he did against guys like Tebow in the past?
Can Foles beat our secondary as a pocket passer?
Defending the RPO isn't exactly brain surgery, play assignment football, fill the gaps and don't take the cheese. For a team built on the 'Do Your Job' concept it shouldn't be all that hard.
I’m just worried that our abysmal linebacker unit is going to get torn to shreds.
But it’s not a triple option play, its a handoff or pass option.the easiest way to stop the option is to lay the option qb out. hit him so hard he would want to run with it again.
