Future of the Zone Read?

[GCF Staff Support]

So - I've been wondering about the future of the zone read in our offense. Since Connor got hurt, we started really pulling back on the amount we let him run (and when Thompson had to step in, we ran it even less).

This'll be Shaw's last year, and even assuming he gets back to the 2011 form with regards to running, I'm wondering if the offense will begin to phase a bit away from the QB as a running threat. Thompson is the heir apparent for the year after that (and who can say if Nosovitch or Mitch will win the job after that).

What do you think? Will we stay with the Zone Read moving forward, or will the offense move back towards the 50/50 split of Shotgun and I-Form we saw at the end of the 2010 season?

The zone read may have taken us as far as it could. I trust the coaches will do what's best for the team and use our lineman and rb's the best way going forward. I honestly think we will be a much better passing team next year and this could help us move more toward a more conventional running game.

Reached the end almost.
