RG3 trades shots with Shanahan

Document Embed Code: 

The 3 7 Deadskins are in turmoil, and it Marshawn Lynch Super Bowl Jersey starts with the quarterback and the head coach.

Robert Griffin III has regressed from the day Mike Shanahan turned him into RGKnee by asking him to win a playoff game on one leg and scares no one except his own team now. Some critics are calling for him to be benched in favor of Kirk Cousins.

Shanahan is 24 34 with the Redskins, and there is a growing sentiment that Daniel Snyder should Russell Wilson Super Bowl Jersey and will change coaches before he agrees to change the club nickname.

The strained relationship between quarterback and coach led them ostensibly throwing each other under the bus after Washington fell to 3 7 thanks to that disgraceful 24 16 loss in Philadelphia.

RG3: did a good job of scheming us up. They kind of knew what was coming before it was coming and that was disheartening. But like I told the guys, regardless of what going on out there, we the players and we have to make the plays work, and we just weren doing that in the first half. on what RG3 was thinking on his backpedaling dagger interception by Brandon Boykin from the Philly 18: really don't know. I have to take a look at the film and kind of go through his thought process. It's really hard to say. I didn't talk to him after the game."

When he does talk to him, he can ask him why he had 57 passing yards on seven lousy completions through three quarters and why Nick Foles was the better quarterback. And RG3 can ask Shanahan why Chip Kelly was the better coach. Again.

Much of the blame is being put on Kaepernick, who has looked mostly awful in back to back losses to the Panthers and New Orleans that erased all the good feelings he and the Niners had built up while rallying to 6 2 after a 1 2 start.

A slump was to be expected, considering how much of a bolt from the blue Kaepernick was in taking over for Alex Smith in the middle of last season. Some of the best defensive minds in the game didn't know what to make of the brawny but incredibly athletic quarterback who could kill you with his cannon arm or with his incredible speed in the read option.

But that was 2012, and the league appears to have adjusted. Opponents are better prepared to defend Kaepernick in the option (which Niners offensive coordinator Greg Roman, for whatever reason, appears hesitant www.seahawksauthenticofficialshop.com/RICHARD_SHERMAN_SUPER_BOWL_JERSEY.html to commit to), and the deer in the headlights look Kaepernick is showing as a passer is a surefire sign that defensive coordinators are confusing him with different coverages Marshawn Lynch Super Bowl 49 Jersey and alignments.

Adding to the frustration is San Francisco still refuses to commit to giving the ball regularly to the dangerous Frank Gore to take seahawksauthenticofficialshop.com/BOBBY_WAGNER_SUPER_BOWL_JERSEY.html the pressure off Kaepernick. As a result, Kaepernick already has thrown more interceptions in 10 games (seven) than he did in 13 starts last year (three) while being sacked 24 times eight more than he endured in 2012.

Kaepernick also has suffered from not having his favorite target, Michael Crabtree, all season, but Crabtree is expected back soon. That should help Kaepernick immensely and quiet his critics.

But if it doesn't, Harbaugh is playing without a net. Smith was traded to Kansas City and the backup is Colt McCoy, so for better or worse this is Kaepernick's team and season to lose.

It a real mess with the Texans

Every time you think it couldn't get uglier in Houston, the imploding Texans outdo themselves.

In this week's episode of "As the Texans Turn," Gary Kubiak's team gave up three touchdown passes to undrafted rookie free agent Matt McGloin in a 28 23 home loss to the Raiders, quarterback Case Keenum was benched in favor of local Public Enemy No. 1 Matt Schaub, Schaub was showered with boos, Schaub got into an sideline argument with star wideout Andre Johnson and Johnson walked off the field before the final play of the game.

Kubiak hurried back from a mild stroke for this?

The Texans have been one of the NFL's most anonymous teams since their 2002 debut, but not anymore. This is as spectacular and complete of a franchise meltdown as you will ever see. The Texans have lost eight in a row following a 2 0 start and everything you thought you knew about them has been exposed. Watt and maybe Johnson are the only untouchables.

That means Kubiak is likely to go, too, though he remains a favorite son in Houston and is liked by McNair. But none of Kubiak's hand picked quarterbacks have been able to get the Texans over the hump even when they were going a combined 22 10 the previous two seasons.

Chip Kelly's immediate NFL success could mean McNair looks to Russell Wilson Super Bowl 49 Jersey the college ranks for a coach, and there are several interesting candidates in the state including one in nearby College Station, Texas should McNair lean that way.

Texas A Kevin Sumlin, Kliff Kingsbury of Texas Tech and Baylor's Art Briles all run a wide open passing offense that could get the Texans' fan base excited again, so it wouldn't be a surprise if McNair at least gauges their interest.

Briles is older and isn't thought to be interested in the NFL, but Sumlin or Kingsbury certainly wouldbe intriguing.

Whatever happens, McNair needs to do something anything to rescue a franchise quickly headed back to oblivion.
