Kareem Hunt and Tyreek Hill were two of the NFL’s most effective players out of RPOs — can the Chiefs replace their production?"On Friday, Pro Football Focus writer Anthony Treash published an article addressing the NFL’s rising use of run-pass option plays (RPOs) and its leading proponent: Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid.Noting that the use of RPOs has steadily increased in the last couple of seasons — just 4% of NFL offensive plays in 2016 to 8% in 2018 — Treash pointed out that according to PFF’s data http://www.chiefslockerroom.com/authentic-mitch-morse-jersey , they also tend to be more effective; since 2016; RPOs have averaged 4.7 yards per play, while non-RPO running plays have averaged just 3.9.And according to Treash, the Chiefs lead the way.So what is an RPO?It’s pretty much what the name implies — a play that when called in the huddle could be either a run or a pass.Either before or after the snap, the quarterback decides which way the play will go based on what he sees the defense doing.But how can you tell an RPO has been called?Threash referenced a PFF article by Mike Renner from last year that gives an answer:Renner explains that in an RPO play, quarterbacks will typically decide whether to run or pass based on the defensive coverage call (pre-snap) or what the conflict defender does post-snap.The conflict defender is a specific defensive player who is identified in the offensive play call; the quarterback simply watches what that player does after the snap. For example, if a conflict defender is a specific linebacker, the quarterback will hand the ball to a running back if that linebacker moves out wide or drops into coverage; otherwise Womens Xavier Williams Jersey , the quarterback will pass.Treash said that according to PFF’s data, most RPOs end up being running plays.Since 2016, 69% of RPO calls end up as running plays, while 31% ended up being passing plays.But Treash believes that the Chiefs’ success in RPO plays could suffer this season.But Treash’s concern isn’t just about Hill.While Treash didn’t explicitly say so, this suggests Chiefs running back Damien Williams either wasn’t as effective in RPO plays, or they were rarely called when he was on the field after Hunt was released in November and Ware was injured in December.But Treash also believes that the moves the Chiefs made in the draft were specifically intended to help remedy the situation.Sixth-round running back Darwin Thompson played in an RPO-heavy scheme at Utah State, with 101 snaps in RPOs that were good for a 81.1 rushing grade.PFF also says Thompson was one of the most elusive running backs in RPO systems Tyrann Mathieu Jersey , with 0.33 missed tackles forced per attempt and 4.9 yards after contact per attempt.Second-round wide receiver Mecole Hardman played in a program that didn’t emphasize RPOs the way Utah State did. Georgia had just 30 RPO pass attempts, but Hardman got more than half of those targets and gained 9.5 yards after the catch per reception. PFF gave him a 76.6 receiving grade on his RPO snaps.
