The read-option exposed NFL defenses last year due to a lack of game-planning, limited prep time and the failure to carry out basic option responsibilities.

This offseason, Bleacher Report’s Matt Miller, Grantland’s Chris Brown and Sports Illustrated’s Greg Bedard did an excellent job breaking down some of the techniques that will be used to limit the read-option. Whether that is the “scrape-exchange” technique or the role of the safety entering the run front, defensive coordinators will be more prepared this season versus option quarterbacks in the run game.

However, what about the play-action opportunities created by the read-option scheme that tore up defensive secondaries last season? Is there an answer to defending the middle of the field, and how will teams adjust to the route concepts?

Today, let’s examine why NFL defenses are struggling to defend play action versus option teams, take a look at the All-22 tape and discuss some coverages that can shut down throwing lanes inside of the numbers.
