I think -- and you point this out -- the fact that the team may not be good enough to overcome some run of the mill offensive struggles is probably the biggest story through two weeks, not RG3's knee/confidence.

RG3 may have only ran it 5 or 6 times per game, but the fact remains they used the pistol more and RG3 was a viable threat to run. He could have ran it all 35 times they were in the pistol, although he didn't. This year I just feel opponents are of the mind set of prove to us you can run then we will do something different. Until then we will stack the box and come after you.

Basically their gambling RG3 and the coaching staff will not have him running and it's paid off. The Skins have bluffed and the opponents have called us on it and they won.

"IF" RG3 is healthy then he needs to do what he did last year with caution. Run the ball, slide or get down ahead of time. But be the threat.
