A New Look Offense or the Same but Better?

Pistol formation is a nice wrinkle. Kyle/Shanny coaching towards a strength of RG3, for those who said coaches wouldnt adapt their strategy(me kinda).

That and some zone read option. Definitely sounds like they are working in things that he did well in college.

Thanks. I wasn't sure if I missed something from years past.

...Another play that will cause defenses headaches is the pistol formation, with Griffin reading the defensive end and deciding whether to hand off or keep the ball himself.

I don't read the local media very often; consequently I forget that there are some guys like Kiem that do a good job.

Didn't the Steeler's run some pistol recently when Big Ben was playing with a bad ankle?Don't watch that many Steelers games but in the few I saw don't recall any seeing the Pistol formation.
When KC ran it with Thigpen the Pistol was the bulk of there offense.

Another hint about the offense from Kiem:
8. By the way, Griffin ran a zone read on one play, though he handed the ball off to running back Roy Helu. Griffin did have one run up the middle.RG3 Report | WashingtonExaminer.com (http://washingtonexaminer.com/rg3-report/article/2503300)

No threat from Ben to run of course with the bad foot, but they ran the pistol here

^^Good find Mattyk.

0ZpFnfHC83g+1 MK, that vid jogged my memory neither here nor there the Steelers ran option in the SB on a 2 PT conversion.
If I can find it on youtube I'll post it.

I'll also search for the Tyler Thigpen/Chan Gailey KC Pistol offense.

Thanks for the article from NFL.com. Good read, starting to curb my expectations for this year when I hear that RG had been forcing balls into small windows. But this is the time of year for him to make some mistakes. Can't wait to see them in action in a week.

RG3 is not going to start off looking like Dano Marino or Jim Plunkett. He's getting used to those fast NFL defenses. Mike Shanahan has predicted from day one that Griffin was going to undergo some growing pains.
