The most basic Cam Newton-involved run play for the Panthers is the read option. By now, most NFL fans understand what the read option is -- Cam is reading a defensive end or defensive tackle and depending on what that defensive player does, he either hands off or runs the ball himself. It's still a mainstay for several offenses in the NFL.
What makes Carolina's offense so fun to cheap Mut 20 coins watch is that throughout a game, the Panthers will add little tweaks to their formation, to their scheme and to their personnel, and a simple read option really bees a whole subset of plays.Here's one example: In this play, Carolina is in a pistol formation -- Jonathan Stewart is next to Newton on his left, and receiver Jerricho Cotchery starts the play behind Newton as a de facto running back.
As the ball is snapped, Cotchery motions out to his left, which takes safety Tony Jefferson out of the play entirely. Jefferson has to respect Cotchery's motion because Cam could keep the ball and pitch it to the receiver in a triple-option look.Instead, though, Cam hands the ball off to his first option.Because Cam does such a good job of holding outside linebacker Markus Golden (No. 44) -- the "read defender" -- once he gives the rock to Stewart, Golden is out of position.
