Buzzfeed: Here's A Supercut Of Robert Griffin III Getting Hit Over And Over Again

[JohnnyUtah]

"A quarter of the way through the 2012 season, RGIII has been one of the NFL's best quarterbacks. But as this video shows, over his last two games, the Redskins have let Griffin get abused."

This video scares me. RG3 has been amazing through these first four games and I admire his toughness, but damn...he has been getting lit up, as we have ALL talked about at length.

I think that all of the time while watching the games, but to see them all cut together...yikes. Fingers crossed to him staying healthy. I'm also happy to see Shanny address this and have RG get his hands up when he doesn't have the ball.

The man certainly keeps getting up. The end of the video is the best part.

HTTR.

I can't put just the video in the post as it's a Buzzfeed video. That or I just don't know how to do it.


Yeah...going in, I thought the hits would be far worse. It still makes me nervous. I'm sure it has a lot to do with how much he means to the team that makes me nervous. I really think the STL game was the worst, as far as hits.

I don't think I've noticed him slide in any of the games so far. Has anyone shown or explained to him the importance of a QB doing so?

He's slid, go back and watch the RG3 Zone on NFL.com. It's just that he is not sliding a ton. And you can't blame him for the hit he took from Newman vs. Cincy because he was out of bounds. nor can you blame him for the hits he has taken in the pocket (in terms of the late hits, etc.) because defensive players are trying to do him like Vick.

Right; I'm talking about the hits/tackles he is taking after he crosses the line of scrimmage, while staying in bounds. Even if it doesn't look like he is getting popped real hard, as a QB, I think it's important for him to know to just slide if he's not going to advance the ball any further. Even if it's your average tackle, all it takes is an awkward fall and that's all she wrote.

He has slid a couple of times. I also think some of the hits he's taking he's so fast, they look worse than they are, they are more glancing blows because he gets his body pretty low. As long as the refs protect him as they would any other runner, and he increases slides like 15 percent, I think he'll be OK. People say he shouldn't have taken that hit vs. the Bucs on that final run but it actually looks like it was the difference in the field goal being good.

EDIT: wow, at 115 he looks to have taken a head shot when he had already begun his slide. No call AGAIN. Again, sliding actually may put him at risk just as it was last year when he got hit in the head on a slide vs...was it Texas? I can't recall now.

Yeah, that hit on his head as he slid was against Texas Tech.

I'd say that Vick, Schaub and Romo have all been rocked much harder than Griffin so far. They did a good job of limiting the hits quite a bit against the Bucs. It's still a feeling out process.

[orlskinsfan]

looking at the video i see a few hits that are brutal but most of them are common hits, to me he got most beat up in the st louis and cincy games, with cincy taking his most punishment.

[Stophovr6]

Damn I hate that song so much. He does look like a ragdoll when he gets hit.

[FSUSkins24]

I don't know man, I went into this video expecting a lot worse. I only really saw a handful of hits that looked irregular (one of which was a sidewalk slam) in the whole 2 minutes.

[elkabong82]

He's an NFL QB, he's going to get hit. Most of the hits weren't that bad. The more you act like a nervous ninny over something, the greater chance it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. RG3 knows what he's doing, let the man work.

[BRAVEONTHEWARPATH93]

also, there is a difference between getting tackled and getting hit/smacked/popped


most of those were tackles IMO

A part of Ludacris verse on the Madden 2000 intro states how I feel...

your spine in the DIRT, so put on a SKIRT
