For me, the biggest difference I saw was calling for passes on what would be considered obvious running downs.

Case in point, the 2nd TD to Pittman at the 2-3 yard line, traditionally we would of have tried to smash it in, but Rizk RPO action froze the defender just enough to drop that dime to Pittman.

It showed aggression. I saw plays called that were never called from Gus's playbook.

Downfield passes that had a chance
 
Gus is enamored with the idea of a running QB. To the point that he'd rather have a below average passer at the position if the kid can run

He's also loyal to a fault. I think he promised JRP and K J they'd both start and feels he has to keep his word. This is why he was hesitant to sit them...even when they struggled. He only changed his mind about KJ after feeling he's on the hot seat.

He also kept playing JRP despite his terrible passing. Again, he was enamored with JRP's running ability, his personality, and was too stubborn to admit he made a mistake on his passing ability.

Unfortunately, JRP looked like Dan Marino compared to Jefferson. They are both not good
