Rick Snider: Redskins' Mike Shanahan hard to read on RG3  By |
Sports,NFL,Redskins,Rick Snider,RG3  Washington Redskins coach
Mike Shanahan loves to use misdirection to keep everyone
guessing. Now he's doing it even when he's speaking candidly.
First Shanahan says that no one knows whether Robert Griffin III
will be ready until the quarterback steps on the field during
training camp. Thank you -- that's as simple as it gets.  You
would think that means slow and steady does it, that maybe
Griffin isn't already penciled in as the Week 1 starter. But
then Shanahan tells the NFL Network that "[Griffin will] set a
record for coming back because that's how hard he works."  That
means Griffin could start the first week, right?  But then
Shanahan tempers it by saying he's only hoping Griffin will be
ready. So that means Kirk Cousins or even Rex Grossman may open
the season?  Pass the aspirin.  It's easy to overanalyze
Shanahan's sporadic quotes on Griffin. The coach uses deception
better than anyone I've covered in
