The pats in a sense run a read option spread with a ZBS. My point is that Seattle does not run designed run plays for Wilson. Carroll desire for a similar qb is the same reason that BB picked Mallet, You want continuity in play development. I didn't say that Seattle would not want to get more athletic at qb.

Pat, that's incorrect. The play in question was a straight Read/Option with the QB and the RB. If the defender being "read" crashed down to take the RB, Wilson would have kept the ball. If defender stays out to take the QB, ball gets handed to Lynch
