So after 2 weeks can we all agree that maybe Tim Beck wasn't the problem

I think it also depends on the QB, when Beck had Kellogg he ran the zone read and never kept it.

Wasn't much of a threat even if the backside defender crashes down, helps to have some wheels with those plays. I'd say it depends on the QB for sure but a read is a read.

But if you never keep it, it's a hand off and not a read.

I'm still not convinced many of what we ran were actually "reads" either way. They were designed handoff or keeps.

Right and some of these plays that look similar might not be a zone read at all.

Eric and his wife sat about 6 or 7 rows behind us in Eugene...Jeez he looks small after his playing days.

Crouch has never been big. But he could run around a Christmas tree 2 or 3 times before you realized you are racing him around a Christmas tree.
