A New Look Offense or the Same but Better?

I'm torn.
I love Mike's Denver WCO.
When I think of the Mike's DWCO (bootleg/bootswap) I wonder if Kyle can ever fully commit to the run focused football that style of offense requires.


Kyle playcalling pallet has always leaned towards the pass.
And I'm not saying the above as good/bad value judgement but as an observation.
As long as Kyle is the OC I think we'll always pass the ball more.
And if we're going to pass more then why not run more spread?
Kyle has already shown some spread looks, why not take the offense further in that direction like the Bills, Bengals, Patriots and Packers?
And if Kyle is gonna add spread components why not bring them in from Baylor's offense?
Particularly the 5 wide empty sets.

Question:
Do you think Cam would have been as productive and dynamic in a traditional pro-style offense?

IMO its almost NECESSARY to pass the ball more in the NFL so I like Kyle's tendency to throw more than run. But I'm guessing that he would prefer the defense to atleast respect our run game, hopefully even prepare to defend it, so it can open up the pass even more (vs. the defense knowing we are going to throw.) I wonder how much of his tendency to throw more last year was due to the fact that we just could not move the ball on the ground at all sometimes?

I think it's definitely a good idea to run more spread with the addition of RG3 and the new WRs. Looking at how aggressively we were going after WRs early in free agency makes me think we are going to see more spread this year. And for the teams that show that they can't defend it, well they will see ALOT more spread. LOL.

As a personal preference, I like the matchup problems that Fred Davis and Helu present for LBs and safeties so I like them on the field. Also makes defenses respect the run to some degree. But we could see some 5 wide sets against teams that are not deep at DB or just cant stop it. I think what we see will depend on who we are playing and that team's personell/defensive weaknesses.

I would say no, Cam Newton would not have been AS successful in a pro-style offense because he wasn't running one in college and he would have had to learn a new system very fast. I think he would have still had some success because I think he is a good quaterback but not as much success compared to running the system he is familiar with. This is why I think it is a good idea for Kyle to install some offense that RG3 is comfortable running right now.

Which leads me back to the RZ question from the OP that I asked in the previous post
Do you think Griffin will/should change they're RZ gameplan and play concepts?


I would be surprised and equally depressed if Kyle did not explore other options in the RZ this year given our poor RZ efficiency last year. I would certainly call RG3's number here although I tend to be a little phobic about him running the ball alot. I expect to see many more bootlegs, some qb draws, and maybe some option in the RZ. Especially after seeing Cam's success. Hopefully this threat will open some things up in RZ for us this year.

Same but better. We wont have a jelly donut rolling out of the pocket this year.

great post thanks for sharing :)

Hopefully, RGIII get the chance to work with Mike and Kyle. If its Luck then what? We may need to discuss the possibilities of Luck being the #2.

Indianapolis has scheduled a visit for Luck and none for Griffin III. While there's still a possibility RG3 could get drafted ahead of Luck, it would be unlikely.

it's not possible to schedule a visit with griffin in the next couple weeks

I wonder how much of his tendency to throw more last year was due to the fact that we just could not move the ball on the ground at all sometimes?I've kinda been tracking his playcalling but specifically his pass/run ratio.
And I think his tendency towards the pass has been manifest throughout his career as a playcaller.
And again, I don't mean that as a value judgement.
But specific to last year, and I believe the stats bear this out, the ground game suffered more from lack of attempts then lack of productivity.

As a personal preference, I like the matchup problems that Fred Davis and Helu present for LBs and safeties so I like them on the field. Also makes defenses respect the run to some degree. But we could see some 5 wide sets against teams that are not deep at DB or just cant stop it.I like those match-ups as well.
Fred is one of our best receiver threats and you gotta figure he'll be a major part of the passing offense.
If they run more spread I don't see why Fred or Helu wouldn't be on the field.

i see rg3 having a lesser career than stafford (this is being objectve). stafford obviously has the far superior arm and just overall looks like a sexy beast.

McNabb says on ESPN RGIII is not a good fit for Redskins. Says ego will get in way. "Are you going to cater the offense around his talent?"

Skip Bayless asked McNabb if he simply has an ax to grind. "I do but I don't"

McNabb says he was misused here and thinks Skins could similarly misuse RGIII: "You have to be in a system that caters to your ability"

It was weird when McNabb was going down list of post-Elway QBs who didnt thrive under Shanahan, he omitted his own name

Why can't this assclown just go away? He's shitty, and nobody wants him and yet he's blaming everybody else for his lack of skill/effort he displayed in football the past few years. **** YOU MCNUGGET
