Re: A New Look Offense or the Same but Better?

On changing the offense to take advantage of Robert Griffin III’s strengths:

Everything else is a progression. You’re going to learn year-by-year, and each year, each snap he gets, he’s going to better and better. You’ve got to account for that speed. We can do some things – if it’s running the option, running the counter option, doing things that are not going to be the staple of your offense – that really dictate what defenses can do and can’t do.”

On the adjustments to the playbook to utilize Griffin’s running ability:

Is this the way Kyle feels also?
Coachspeak? or Truth?
