Let's not forget, the other option guy back there has a perfect career qb rating

an excellent point! if you get that play set up right it's a sure TD! and then once you've shown that along with RG3 passing out of it as well, it becomes a "Quintuple Option" and i have no idea how a defense could possibly go about covering all those options.

Line penetration.

probably a good thing that we only used it for half a game. I dont think RGIII would have finished had we ran that for 4 quarters.

Cincy's D seemed perfectly content giving up 7 yards to have an opportunity to lay that kind of wood on our QB. At some point, sombodys gonna say "uncle"
