Were Mike Vick and Warrick Dunn running the read-option in ATL?

???

Maybe I'm wrong....I thought they did, but the media acts like RGIII is the first QB to do it successfully.

They use pistol offense concepts
The future is already here: How the Pistol Offense is changing the NFL - SBNation.com

“There are no gimmicks in our offense,” Nevada head coach Chris Ault recently explained. [source]. “When the shotgun offenses came out, I enjoyed watching those teams move the football. The thing I did not like was the idea of a running back getting the ball running east and west,” he said. “We have always been a north and south running game offense.”

The entire premise of Ault’s pistol attack is to combine the best of the shotgun spread offenses, like Chip Kelly’s attack at Oregon [source], with the traditional, north-south power attack Ault had coached for more than 20 years. The Pistol alignment is merely the means by which to do it; the “Pistol Offense” is this blend of old and new.
