RG is going 110% as usual but posturing a little bit also.
Regardless, the real proof comes in the pudding, when the season begins. Will RG protect himself better by playing smarter? And will the Shanahans scheme away from running him so much, as the article a few weeks pointed out even though injuries didn't come on designed runs RG took the majority of his punishment on designed runs. That's really all I care about, what happens Sept - Feb.

The designed runs went way down as the season went on. It's on RG3 to protect himself better when running. Progressing as a passer will help too. Keim has pointed out a bunch of times that RG3 had open guys at times last year but he didn't see them and pulled the ball down and ran instead.
