Colin Kaepernick threw for more than 400 yards and three scores; Russell Wilson more than 300 yards and one score; even Terrelle Pryor nearly led the Oakland Raiders to a road win over the Indianapolis Colts, all in Week 1. Justin Faulk Jersey . The read-option/pistol formation is here to stay. Increasing the number of ways to attack an opposing defence is too enticing for offensive coordinators to ignore: If theres nowhere to run, pass; if theres nowhere to pass, take off and run; and just when a sack seems inevitable, have your QB inexplicably escape and rumble downfield for a first down. The deterrent of course is the heightened injury risk for these quarterbacks. Theres merit to that – just ask the Washington Redskins about their nervous off-season. But injuries will always be a part of the game, and a lot of todays QBs are built like running backs and should be able to handle a similar workload. What may be different for read option QBs is how long they can stay effective. Where teams typically expect to get at least 15 seasons out of strict pocket passers (Peyton Manning is in his 15th year, Tom Brady his 14th) read-option QBs may break down after just 10 seasons or so. They could adopt the same expiration date many place on running backs, the dreaded age of 30. That could be okay though. First of all, the superstars – the guys that can hurt a defence from the pocket and while on the run – you dont have to worry about them too much. These guys should face less pressure and take fewer hits, theoretically stretching their careers closer to 15 years. Then theres the second level of read-option throwers. The non-superstars can still give their teams a chance to win every Sunday through their athleticism and creativity, think Pryor with the Raiders. Its the flaws in their game, typically with their fundamental QB techniques or mechanics that make them easier to replace when they show signs of slowing down. Thats what makes this plan work. Guys like Pryor, a third-round Supplemental pick in 2011, can be found in the draft and should become easier to find moving forward (as much as 70 percent of NCAA teams run some type of read-option or pistol offence). Not every athlete posing as a QB will work out – if they did, Tim Tebow would still have a job – but there are enough out there that do enough to help a team win. And if you hit on one of those superstars, your offence could be virtually unstoppable. Patrick Kane USA Jersey . - Jordan Addesis shootout goal helped the Plymouth Whalers to a 3-2 win over the Sault Ste. Derek Stepan USA Jersey . -- Canadian ski cross star Marielle Thompson accomplished two goals in one race Saturday.(SportsNetwork.com) - The Detroit Pistons will begin life without Josh Smith on Friday night when they welcome the Indiana Pacers to The Palace of Auburn Hills. In a rather stunning move, the Pistons released Smith on Monday despite two- plus years and close to $30 million remaining on his contract, which he signed prior to last season. Detroits trio of big men - Smith, Greg Monroe and Andre Drummond - have not worked as a unit. Its now expected head coach Stan Van Gundy will keep Monroe and Drummond together with Kyle Singler replacing Smith in the starting lineup. Probably a few more post-ups for Andre and Greg and more plays for Jodie (Meeks) and (Kentavious Caldwell-Pope), Van Gundy told the Detroit Free Press. Thats where Id say the majority of that is going to come from. Were gonna ride (Monroe) in the post. Weve done that when hes been in there, but hell get more minutes now. Detroit has dropped four in a row after a two-game winning streak. The Pistons have lost 12 straight at The Palace with their last home victory coming on Nov. 7 against Milwaukee. The Pistons havent played since a 110-105 road loss to the Brooklyn Nets on Sunday. Brooklyn had a 15-point fourth-quarter lead cut down to one after Kentavious Caldwell-Pope buried a 3-point shot with 9.8 secondds left. Brandon Dubinsky USA Jersey. The Nets held on the rest of the way. Caldwell-Pope finished with 20 points and Drummond had 18 along with 20 rebounds -- 13 on the offensive end. However, the Pistons couldnt complete the rally and fell for the 17th time in 19 games. Monroe delivered 16 points on 7-of-10 shooting and pulled down eight boards in the loss. The Pistons hit the road for three straight following Fridays contest. The Pacers have won two in a row, including a 12-point victory over the New Orleans Pelicans at home on Tuesday night. George Hill was in the Indiana lineup for the first time all season and helped the Pacers to a 96-84 win. Hill, who missed Indianas first 28 games due to a right knee contusion sustained in the preseason, scored a team-high 15 points off the bench in 21 minutes of action. He looked great out there, Pacers coach Frank Vogel said of Hill. He just played a great game on both ends. Roy Hibbert supplied 14 points, while Solomon Hill and David West each posted 13 points in the win. C.J. Miles and Watson went for 11 and 10 points, respectively. These two Central Division rivals havent met yet this season, but Indiana has won two in a row and eight of the last nine against Detroit. The Pacers have won four straight at The Palace.
