| I think that the Shanahans are customizing their offense to fit each guys talents. They are very different QBs. RG3 is similar to Steve Young to me (QB style not success) and Cousins in college and preseason seems more like a Matt Schaub QB who can maneuver in the pocket and get out and run a little if need be but not going to be a running threat. |

| It seems to me that what Cooley alluded to is correct. Whatever plays they were running with RGIII didn't seem as natural to the players and didn't set up as fast as when cousins was in there. Maybe it is just me but cousins reps seemed more like what RGIII ran in the first PS game. We'll see if they game plan some for the 3rd Game and see a more Reg. Season offense by the first stringers. |

Doubt it.. it seems to me they are keeping a lid on this rgiii fella everyone is talking about... A tight lid.
Through two games he has less then half the passes of people like Luck, Manning, tannehill etc etc etc etc etc |

He's talking about the offense being tailored for RGIII. Cousins played in a more pro-style offense in college. They are adding tweaks for RGIII, that are not part of Cousins' training at QB. That's why the first team and backup squads are running different plays. So, what you're seeing from RGIII right now is a vanilla form of what you will be seeing in the regular season. |

I don't quite read it like that. I read it like this: The second and third string are running what the vast majority of the regular season offense will look like. The first team is running new hybrid versions of Baylor's/skins playbook for RG3 to see how the team reacts and to see what will work. Or am I just missing it all together? |

Nope... that's the jist of it... What the first team is running is what will be filtered and incorporated into Shanahan's playbook. It's a option they didn't use with McNugget and with RGIII's skill set if they didn't go this route they (the Shannies) should both shot, then fired  |

Wait, I'm confused.  I thought that MS/KS couldn't adapt the playbook to the players. I thought he was too arrogant and rigid to acknowledge that any variation to his exact plan and vision was to admit failure and men don't do that!
Or are we to believe that a washed up qb might be a bit bitter about being so decidely dismissed for sucking? |
