Summary

Phil Perry is joined by “Professor” Matt Cassel for a 300-level course on the run-pass option, or RPO, and why the Patriots use of the offensive package last Sunday vs. the Jets could just be a stepping stone into jumpstarting Mac Jones and the team’s offense going forward. 1:00- Phil offers a quick breakdown of the RPO package and how Mac Jones and the Patriots can use it to improve their offensive efficiency 9:40- Cassel joins to discuss his experience with RPO packages and the value of New England adding more of them to their offensive playbook 18:55- Cassel breaks down several RPO plays from Sunday’s win vs. the Jets and what New England did right on those plays 27:30- As well as what they did wrong on a few others, was the issue the play-call itself or a break down in execution?

0:00.0	What's up everybody?
0:15.3	Welcome into the next Pats podcast.
0:16.6	I'm Phil Perry.
0:17.7	Really fun episode for you today because we're talking about what's next with this Patriots offensive scheme.
0:24.9	A lot of times we like to talk about what's next for the roster in terms of the personnel.
0:29.2	What's next for the NFL in terms of concepts or technology?
0:33.6	All that stuff is great.
0:35.2	I really love talking about it all.
0:36.5	But this is a special one because we've got our guy, Matt Castle, long time NFL quarterback, RPO experienced quarterback to come in with us and talk about the run pass option.
0:48.9	Because I feel as though this may be what's next for the Patriots offense in terms of helping them along in
0:56.4	areas where they need it. We saw a dozen of those plays by my count against the Jets in week eight,
1:03.7	and they didn't all go so hot on 12 plays. They picked up a total of 19 yards. He had a holding
1:09.9	penalty mixed in there from Cole Strange for minus 10.
1:13.6	Still, not the most efficient concept in the Patriots playbook this year, but one that I think can help them in some really critical situations.
1:21.8	And I think can help them make their quarterback feel more comfortable, especially given all the pressure he has seen this year,
1:29.5	all the hits he has taken.
1:31.9	And we know Mack Jones really enjoys running RPO's.
1:36.3	He did it at Alabama with great success.
1:39.4	He told us about it a little bit earlier this year.
1:41.8	And so I want to play that sound for you right now before we bring Castle in,
1:46.0	then we're actually going to hear from Matt Patricia on the RPO.
1:48.8	And then we're going to get our RPO.
