How The Offensive Game Plan Is Put Together (John Keim Report)

Thought this would fit here

The All-22: RG3 reaping the benefits of Shanahan’s multi-tiered passing offense | Shutdown Corner - Yahoo! Sports (http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nfl-shutdown-corner/22-rg3-reaping-benefits-shanahan-multi-tiered-passing-185451140--nfl.html;_ylt=Al4FAgwEzsl3.t_ta3mtSp9YYsp_;_ylu=X3 oDMTE4NWRia245BG1pdANCbG9ncyBJbmRleARwb3MDMQRzZWMD TWVkaWFCbG9nSW5kZXg-;_ylg=X3oDMTFpMm9iMzh1BGludGwDdXMEbGFuZwNlbi11cwRw c3RhaWQDBHBzdGNhdANibG9nBHB0A3NlY3Rpb25z;_ylv=3)

and yes, this is aimed at everyone who assert MS & KS are holding RGIII back or are only minimally responsible for his success:

As great as Griffin has been, we have to stop and give credit to the much-maligned duo of Mike and Kyle Shanahan, Washington's head coach and offensive coordinator. Instead of trying to stuff RG3 into a bad scheme fit, the Shanahans took a lot of the stuff the rookie did at Baylor -- the read-options, edge tosses, motion plays, and play-action bombs -- and expanded upon them. What the Redskins have created is a running game that rivals San Francisco's in overall complexity (though with very different underlying principles), and a shotgun passing game that leaves every other in the dust when it's working correctly.

Give credit where it is due you DVR watching experts.

Man, that's an awesome read. I knew there were a lot of moving parts, but I totally underestimated how many there ACTUALLY were.

It didn't mention that Chris Foerster oversees the running game, from what I read. So actually I'm not sure if that means he's not anymore or that Keim just didn't include that.

Also, I know I've mentioned how much the team likes McVay to some of you, and it looks like he's added some responsibilities

McAvoy becomes Kyles OC when Mike decides to retire?

Awesome breakdown

Was there more content in the link than what's posted?

I got a chuckle from this paragraph:

Wednesday: They’ll walk through the plays, then practice them and review them on film with the players. After the players leave around 4 p.m., the coaches gather to watch film of practice. By Wednesday night, Shanahan starts focusing on third down, short yardage and goal-line situations (the coaches had already presented their information to him before Wednesday). He’ll finalize their plays in these areas and McDaniel and Flowers once again stay up “all night” to draw up the plays for the players by Thursday morning. Their playbooks will have all the new plays when they arrive.

New plays? Yeah we've seen some gadget stuff added, but how is the pitch and read option new week to week lol? Looks like defenses know what "new" play will be called before RG3 does...

Hearing nothing but crickets, of course.

"This is a stupid play. Why are we trying this? We cross it off and don’t call it."

Really?

"I’ve always loved third downs."

Really?

One can easily see why having continuity among your players and staff makes this easier. Familiarity and experience breeds efficiency. Everything becomes more intuitive...that's important when you're talking about the complicated nature of the multiple moving parts of an NFL offense.

May I kindly reminind everyone that all of this continuity and familiarity has netted us a losing record?

However, I'm thankful that there is always a chance, in each and every game, and each and every season! And there is a big game today!

That's some pretty heavy detail.
