[quote=Leader In Sports;916388]The article does say he is also trademarking "Robert Griffin III"

I understand that... see mooby's post above

Re: RGIII Named Starter
 

It is a slippery slope though. It is my understanding that each trademark would have to stand on it's own. If that is correct, then I can't see them issuing a trademark on his name. Obviously his likeness is a different matter. I can certainly see them issuing it on RG3 & RGIII.

Just because you apply for one, doesn't mean it gets issued.

I think it was MtC's, basically all the questions he's been asked before. They asked him about who's showing him the ropes Robert said KS & MLfr was breaking the OF down for him & MS was the final word. Robert hasn't spoken to Rex yet.

Yeah he was on MTC. I just missed it.

I'm listening to 980 right now w/ Al Galdi.
He's replaying some of Mike Shanahan comments from the Redskins Anniversary event.
Mike Shanahan really, really, likes Robert Griffin, really.
And the more I hear Mike Shanahan talk about Griffin the more excited I get.

One things for sure, I'm definitely rooting for him to get it right with Griffin just to shut up the haters who want the Shannies fired.

According to Kendall Wright Baylor did not use a playbook in college. Does no playbook in college = RG3/Skins running no huddle offense this year?

Re: RGIII Named Starter
 

RG iii has said that a few times in interviews. Nothing new there and I would assume that MS would definitely take advantage of his comfort in a no huddle offense. From all reports he hasn't had a problem picking up the play book.

Impressive.

Just another weapon, thats all. Comfort running the no huddle is ALWAYS a good thing. ALWAYS. lol.

Not sure why people would think a man who graduated a year early with a BA degree in Political Science and a 3.67 GPA would have any difficulty grasping NFL concepts/playbooks.

Re: RGIII Named Starter
 

The verbiage of the west coast offense is complicated. Colt McCoy learned it from Brett Farve. RG3 was probably taught the basic concepts and was able to grasp the verbiage shortly thereafter. Mike Shanahan said that during mini camp practice Griffin III didn't get any formations wrong and it was the first time ever a quarterback who ran Shanahan's version of the west coast offense got every play correctly in conjunction with every formation.

[I][B]I[/B][/I] think Baylor's physical playbook or lack there-of is a non-story that has very little bearing on Griffin as an NFL QB.

Baylor isn't unlike any other spread offense that calls their plays via hand signals form the sideline that has a truncated or non exsistent physical playbook like Auburn, OU, Ok St., TCU etc.

Mike is head over heels for Griffin.

Re: RGIII Named Starter
 

The no-huddle offense is a weapon in and of itself. It's also something we haven't done (well) during my adulthood. If Griffin can effectively run it half the time this year will be tons of fun.

Like the Colts in their heyday with Manning.

Seriously. I would love to be the team that puts pressure on the defense by having no huddle done well. Get some 12 men on the field and off sides calls.

Re: RGIII Named Starter
 

power plays and open nets, indeed

Re: RGIII Named Starter
 

The Buffao Bills ran that no huddle offense well during the early 1990s and they went to 4 straight Super Bowls. Whether Mike Shanahan wants to incorporate the no huddle offense as a wrinkle or as something basic and continuous, it should be effective. A no huddle west coast offense would place so much pressure on opposing defenses no doubt.

Common, and its getting catchy in high school fb especially down south. Im not a fan of the full blown no huddle-o. I liked how Manning uses it to catch the D off guard and i think those situations would really benefit RG3. But other than that i think it puts as much fatigue on the O as the D.

So you are acknowledging in this statement that the Shanahans have yet to "get it right", but the pragmatists who are calling for results over fluff are "haters". Not to mention the word "just", implies that you don't want to see improvement for the sake of validating Griffen, the morale of the team and the fan base, or success of the organization as a whole, it's solely for the purpose of authenticating your position over the people who have merit in their disagreement.

Yep, I could see him racking up 12-men penalties and offsides on our opponents' defenses. RGIII even mentioned this on the Gruden QB camp interview, how he loves to get his team lined up and snap the ball when he sees the D trying to substitute.

He can handle it. He's smart enough to look at a defense and call a play in a hurry.

I love talking about the no-huddle in abstract but I don't see how or why people think we would use it more often.
In the past this offense (Mike/Kyle) hasn't been a no huddle offense.
And if we're speaking honestly the performance in 2 minute and hurry has been lacking regardless of the QB (McNabb/Rex).
With McNabb the excuse was he didn't know the offense with Rex there was no excuse. (equipment malfunction?)
I'm sure Kyle will improve with his hurry-up/2 minute offense/playcalling as he gains experience but I think its a hellavu strecth to think we're suddenly going to become a no huddle offense from what we've seen and where we are thus far.
I think its far more likely that they'll work to increase the tempo i.e. get in and out of the huddle quickly, get to the line quickly with time on the playclock etc.

If I were gambling on a team likely to run the type of offense some fans think we'll run (up tempo, no-huddle, with some zone-read, WCO) I would look at the Dolphins.

Unfortunately we haven't been winning under this regime, and people who base their position on the facts shouldn't be considered any less loyal then people who attach themselves to this coaching staff.

Yeah I mean I like mike shanahan. He's done things I liked an thing I hated that have not us in the ass. However I trust that he's doing his best to win and wants to win just like all of us. If the team did everything I wanted I'm
Sure we wouldn't win a SB lol so you just gotta take good with the bad and be patient. If god came to me an said the skins will never win another game, I'd still watch every Sunday bc I bleed the burgundy and gold and I think any Sunday we can beat anyone

If you want to base things on facts, maybe we should start with the fact that the franchise has gone the route of switching coaching regimes every two or three years, and it has gotten them nowhere. If we continue to base things on fact, we see that there are no other coaches available, who want to come to Washington, that possesses the resume that Mike Shanahan possesses. If we want to, yet, continue to base things on facts, the fact is, Mike Shanahan stated from the very beginning that it would take him the length of his contract to rebuild this team the right way, and if Snyder was not interested in being patient, then don't hire him, (or something to that affect.) The fact is, Redskins fans are very impatient. Couple that with today's instant gratification that people have become accustomed to, and it makes for a lot of fans who would be dangerous if they were the owner of the Washington Redskins. I trust the current regime, as painful as it's been on Sundays, the Shannies will get this team back to where it needs to be. And if by the end of year five and that isn't true, then move on to the next regime.
