Question

Is the option offense used in the Canadian Football League?

Answer 1

Canadian football is very "pass" oriented. The rules make passing much easier and there for used.

Pro teams don't use the option because they like their QB's alive at the end of the day. The option offense is very simplistic and isn't even used in that many colleges any more (the spread option is not the same thing and the jury is still very out on that one at the college level). At the pro level, the defenders are too big and fast for the option offense to work.

Answer 2

hey Ricky Williams...is that you? It is , isn't? How you doin' Ricky?

Answer 3

Yes option offenses are used in the CFL. Not as often as the NFL per say, but still used.
