Re: Kudos to RG III
This was one of those dream scenarios for RG3's first start. Stayed poised and didnt try to do it all by himself. Showed that he has not only a strong arm, but can make accurate passes. He made the right calls when it came to staying in the pocket or running. And even on scrambles, had the sense about him to pull up and pass even though some yards were there for him to get running. I also like the fact that he is fast enough to get out of the pocket and put some space between him and the defenders to allow him to do that in the first place. Not sure we have seen that since... Gannon?
While I have never been a fan of Kyle, I have to give him props as well. Quick wide receiver screens slowed down the Saints D in the first drive. He called plays that let RG3 do things that forced their D to respect what he could do. It slowed down their pass rush a good amount, even though they were getting there late and got some hits on RG3. He also never abandoned the rushing game, which he did pretty much every game last year. The Oline played pretty good, but I believe part of that was the scheme. If the Saints D could have concentrated on a Rex/Beck/McNabb offense, they would of had 5 or more sacks imo.
Now we need RGjr (and his significant other) to keep RG3's head from getting big. Really like that disciplined military parents has his ear.
