Re: How do you feel, the season is upon us.

I'm calling it here, 5-10 read-options Sunday to slow down Watt and Clowney. Make them choose who they go after, Morris or Griffin. After they choose wrong enough to start hesitating, we go play action deep to DJax and/or Roberts. Fitzpatrick gets sacked or picked all day. Redskins 24 Texans 13. As for the rest of the season, let me see how this projection plays out. I may be euphoric Sunday afternoon or hugely depressed. I'm guessing I won't be in the middle.

Yeah, this is my feeling as well. I was thinking 28-17. Houston defense is tough but I have a feeling Morris is going to get in three times (one of those being a short field generated by a TO forced by the defense). RG3 throws 1 TD 1 pick in a very pedestrian outing. Fitzpatrick throws one to Andre Johnson and Arian Foster picks up another but our defense holds them to 17 tough points and generates 2 TOs.

No way. Robert didn't want to run the read option back with Shanahan so I seriously doubt they run this stuff anymore. You might see one or two plays in particular situations. I'll be shocked if anything beyond that.

I wouldn't be too shocked, especially if we struggled with everything else and the read option turned out to be the only thing that worked. They'll keep a couple plays in there just to mix things up, but if nothing else worked and they started leaning on it heavy I wouldn't be too surprised. I know RG3 doesn't want that to be what he's known for but if it works it works.
