Dennis Dixon Impressively Simulates RGIII In Practice

Well a passer is a passer, the accuracy is not what needs to be simulated IMO. The fake to the RB, fake to the WR (end around) fake run than pass is what the D needs to practice against.

How much of a difference or one at all I am not sure. I feel it AT least gives them some experience having someone who rand the a similar offense with success.

I'm hopeful it makes all the difference in the world, but realistically it might stop a play or two or three that they wouldn't have if not for Dixon.

I have a serious question here.

I think RGIII has seriously maybe opened some doors here for some of these option QB's.

Dixon wasn't and isn't on RGIII's level, but he was amazing running that option at Oregon and I think he is a good enough passer to be able to make defenses respect his throwing.

Obviously he won't get a shot here, but I think if you put him in that Shanahan offense, he would be very successful.

I think it takes a special qb to do what rg3 does. Rg3 can run away from anyone but he's still a guy that can throw accurately.

Dean Pees is experienced, he should be able to set the D up

He's what Vick could've been.

You have more faith in Cam than I do.

Here's a novel idea....

Best way to limit RGIII and the Redskins' success on offense is to limit his (and theirs) time on the field.

Run the ball, short passing patterns, dump offs, screens, etc. to sustain long time consuming drives limiting the Redskins' opportunities on offense.

Pretty simple when you think about it.
