Lost Some Faith In Shanahan

[Defensewins]

Why the blame game? A football player was hurt playing football. This has happened before. Players have played with worse injury than the one RGIII had after Ravens game.
Shanahan had RGIII take an MRI test, had him cheeked by doctors and rested him for a game after that injury. As a matter fact I remember RGIII saying he was ready to go for the Cleveland game and it was SHANAHAN that made the choice to rest him. This subject has gone beyond over analyzed.

Not sure, but most people don't have issues with Mike starting RGIII this game or the previous ones as well. I think the issue is when he didn't take him out after he reinjured the knee in the first quarter.

I keep hearing RGIII was the best option, and that was CLEARLY the thinking...because Alfred Morris (that guy who was running for chunks of yards in the 1st quarter) was barely seen the rest of the game. That, to me, was the worst part of all of this.

I don't have enough information to blame Shanny for leaving RGIII in the game, but damn, for Alfred to only get five touches in the second half was ridiculuous...sometimes I think they have the tendency to overthink things and end up outsmarting themselves...
