The Oakland Raiders had Terrelle Pryor study the pistol and read-option in the offseason.
Pryor often used Colin Kaepernick as the basis for his study.
“We did a lot of studying on (Colin) Kaepernick and how he did it,” Pryor said. “There are so many different options and plays you can call out of that package. (Coordonator Greg Olson) did a wonderful job of honing in on it and understanding exactly what defenses were trying to do and how they were trying to stop it.”
Pryor also studied how Tom Brady maintains balance and comfort while throwing.
Pryor ran the pistol and read-option in the preseason opener and will do so again against the Saints on Friday.
