Still, the point is that the play design created an open receiver but the player's execution of it failed.

Last year, and independent of the read option, it seemed like KS was able to create open receivers through scheme. I just haven't seen that this year. When it has happened, players have very often simply failed to execute. To me, KS is simply not being as innovative as he has in the past (again, independent of the R/O, KS's schemes have historically created offense for players).

Additionally, when the schemes succeed, like having TE running free in space, the players have not taken advantage of what the scheme offered. Several players - not just RGIII - seem to have really regressed this year.

To me, our record is truly a team effort and that is deeply unsettling.
