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

If you are going to give up what we did to get RG III, you better try and tinker with the present offense at least a tad to play to his athleticism somewhat, without trying to get him to try and be a Vick type player, as that would be disasterous. Throw in some bootlegs, more play action, etc. I think McNabb on ESPN was mostly sour grapes, but I think he did make a good point about the Shannys making a potential mistake not trying to revamp the system a bit to play on RG III's strengths.

McNutts is an idiot, he's more mad at us than the shegles they traded you anyone with sense would be mad at them first IMO. You went to the ViQueens basically the same system you ran in Philly blunt and still looked like SH*T that proved MS & KS so right IMO.

Getting away from McNabb a little and back to the OP...

I don't think throwing in some bootlegs and playaction would be a departure from the true nature of Mike Shanahan Denver WCO playcalling.
In a sense it would actually be a return to it.

Baylor has some core concepts in their playbook and one staple is the ability to run the ball from shotgun.
They often use a zone-read play where the QB reads the edge defender (DE or OLB) and makes a decision to keep it or give it the RB.

Kyle has an similar play concept/formation in his offense (although most likely a designed RB run).
If they want to make aspects of Baylor's offense part of their offense we could see a lot more of this:




Imagine Griffin keep the ball once he sees the LBs commit


^^Once Griffin reads the crashing LBs imagine him keeping the ball and out running OLB#50 towards the rightside edge/alley as Hankerson picks up either the pursuit LB or the CB

or

Picture Griffin ducking his head in playfake to the RB and throwing over the run committed LBs
(obviously the WRs would be running routes instead of stalk blocking like they're doing in these images)

This is the type of play/formation we could see if they plan to incorporate some of Baylor's offense into a featured role in this year's playcalling.

What I'm seeing there is a 74-yard TD run.
