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
Anthony Hitchens Jersey , 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, 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
Chad Henne Jersey , the quarterback will hand the ball to a running back if that linebacker moves out wide or drops into coverage; otherwise, 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
Kendall Fuller Jersey , 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, 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. Reid confirmed Hill has joined the team for phase one of offseason workouts Monday."Reports emerged early Monday that Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill would be reporting for phase one of team offseason workouts. It’s been exactly one month since reports surfaced that Overland Park police were investigating an alleged incident of battery at his home.Here was the Chiefs’ initial statement back on March 15:Head coach Andy Reid confirmed Hill was back in the building in his opening statement. “I know you’re going to potentially ask about Tyreek,” Reid said to reporters. “Tyreek is here. I don’t have anything further to tell you from the statement we put out. There’s been no new news on it and so I’m going to leave it at that. I have had a chance to say hello to him. I have done that, and again, see him in the meeting.”As expected, Reid still faced questions regarding the 25-year-old
Eric Murray Jersey , three-time Pro Bowler.Here was Reid’s full exchange with reporters: Later in the day, Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes was asked if the Hill situation has affected his preparation.“I think coach Reid said it,” Mahomes said, “and what he goes with is what we go with.”As has been the case for a while now, until more information becomes available, this story remains a standstill in Kansas City.
