You do realize WE ARENT BLOCKING THAT READ DEFENDER- that's why they call it a "read". It would be impossible to block him incorrectly or the play being hurt due to bad Oline play on the read guy- since THE READ GUY ISNT BEING BLOCKED. :dunnoAre you SERIOUS? See how the play works is- whatever the read guy does- you make him wrong- thats how basic option football works. There are books- or you can invest 2-3 minutes in reading an article or actually watching a game and listening to the commentators.
This may help you. Its a big part of our offense for what about 20 years- you may want to know how it really works. It is really basic football that most people understand. Its considered to be common knowledge= been around FOREVER https://weeklyspiral.com/2019/11/22/zone-read-made-easy-brought-to-you-by-the-baltimore-ravens/
Im giving him the benefit of the doubt on many of the "gives" when the defender has closed down on the running back- giving the QB a "keep" read- One could only hope the gives are being called since the keeps are often times wide open on the gives.
And when the read guy is close enough to tackle either ball carrier before the exchange the read is moot. Its like trying to stop a car accident when you already made contact with the bumper.
