RGIII undergoing total reconstructive surgery: out 6-8 months

I say this as a "devil's advocate". But what's stopping DEs from just blitzing all out, and if it's a read option just go hit the QB? It's not like they'll get a penalty if they can get to the QB right after he hands off the ball.

If they can't get to the QB the back is probably running wild in your secondary.

And with someone like RG3 who makes great reads, he's never going to keep the ball when he sees the end selling out in his direction.
