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

[dballer]

I meant that he didn't try to sell it as hard as he did in the Cincy game. He basically handed the ball to Morris and then took one or two steps and stopped versus running with/without the ball or pitching the ball like he did against Cincy and that caused him to get blown up a couple of times.

I pointed out the the play you mentoned and thank you for confirming that they indeed did NOT run the option but a few times.

That is more "run action" or "play action"....but that's just semantics

But yeh they definitely did not run much option against Tampa...I am sure the Shanny's have seen the video of RG3 getting busted up on those and have dialed it back a bit.

You better go back and watch the game. The only time they ran a "true" option is when he drew a 15 yd penalty against Tampa. Outside of that they might have run FIVE times. Those five times could barely qualify as the "option" because he handed the ball to Morris and barely tried to sell that he had the ball. So yeah, they only "ran" the option a "few" times.

But hey, you let your dislike for me get in the way of actual facts and tried to prove me wrong and you failed, miserably. "Which isn't too surprising."

No, my dislike for you is precisely BECAUSE you get the facts so consistently wrong, lol.

And seeing as you know that option plays include having the OPTION to hand the ball off to the RB (shocker), it's hard to believe YOU watched the game since there were many plays one could look at and say it was an option type play, yet Robert chose to hand it off.

Would you like to tell me how exactly you figure the hand offs to Morris were all NOT option plays? Is it not possible that some times it looked more like a hand off since Robert didn't play it out as long and made his decision quicker? Is it also not possible that "option" plays were called to look like options more than to actually have Robert carry the ball? To me, that's what I saw. There were a ton of plays where everything seemed to look like an option but Robert quickly handed the ball off. There were lanes created on those plays for Morris because of that, actually. If you don't want to call those option plays, that's fine... but you jumping in this thread to show you were right last week about all your complaining of which you do so annoyingly after every loss misses the point that the Shanahan's were the ones you targeted and they were the ones who told Robert what to do on those plays to not get hit as much, which more than anything else lead to less hits and NOT because they ran less option plays. Maybe you should make a thread crediting them and attempt SOME SEMBLANCE OF BALANCE? I'm sure that's hard for you.

Look forward to you getting more things wrong. Actually, I don't look forward to it. It's quite annoying, since you do it with such authority.

The amount of those RG3 could avoid... blows your validation up, sorry. The read option is called "READ" "OPTION" for a reason. Along with several 5 second stances in the pocket - why does Tom Brady draw so many damn RTP calls? Because he knows the exact timing to release to a possible receiver (not the best option available) at least get a catch, and if not possibly a call, and if not the refs will look for it all game. He's a rookie - I'd rather him get slammed in his rookie year then next year or any other one.

The fact that someone took the time to compile a video of RG3 getting hit in week 4 is a complete joke to media rumblings and fan concerns. This is football, if you hold onto the ball, you're going to hit.

Ha ha. I calls dem like I sees dem. You knew exactly what I meant by "option." (see Bengals game) Yet you still decided to "chime in" and take a shot at me.

Speaking of balance. I criticize when I feel warranted and I give credit where credit is due. Sorry if your love affair for the Shanny's has you blinded sometimes.

You better come up with some better examples of me being wrong son and not just because you disagree with me.

BTW. I'm flattered that I have such an affect on you and that you follow my every post.

I never had an issue with you. I always looked at you as one of the "regulars."

I'm not your "son", pal!

I know you think you just "call it like you see it", "tell it like it is", "like to be a realist", etc... and all that bs but sorry, the reality is most of your posts have you come off as just an egotistical negative Nancy who excessively complains when we lose.

And you're not NEARLY as loud or consistent in posting when any credit is to be given. You only start making threads and posting a hundred times when there is something to moan about. Balance? I laugh at the very idea, bwa hahaha!

You honestly remind me a lot of Brandon Lloyd Christmas. Not nearly as bad though, so I'll give you that.

BTW, I'm flattered you always looked at me as one of the regulars.

I am a little supprised that there has not been all that much said about the Barron tackle in the Bucs game . Griffin got up and walked away and the comentators said it should not have been a flag, some people on here said it was a clean hit but it is around 32 seconds into the clip ... but it is really a really a dangerous thing to do on the football field to lift a player off his feet - straigten your back and then dump the other player on thier back . In Rugby that would get you sent off and suspended for wrekless play - in football it is apparently a questionab;e flag ..... hmmm

[RedskinsInFebruary]

You could do one of these reels for just about nay NFL QB they all get hit quite a bit.

Sure you could--but not consisting solely of their first four games in the league. Not even close.

[LaxinFish29]

Put together a similar clip of Bradford last year and this will look like he hasn't been touched.

Ha ha. You mad? I made a comment about being concerned about our stud of a QB taking too may hits because I think we have something special in him and I would like him to avoid serious injury. Don't see where the problem is there. Maybe you are just too sensitive?

You call me a Negative Nancy. I prefer to call myself passionate. When a fan is as "loud" as I am they show their emotions. When we lose I am pissed and I express that. When we win I have a smile on my face for days.

You can choose to continue to be that casual fan that you are. I'll continue to be the passionate fan that I am. .

[thesubmittedone]

So, wait, you consider me a "regular" here but then call me a "casual fan"... Is that even possible!? Or is that just another one of your contradictory posts?

Man, I have to show my wife that you called me a "casual" fan, KingGibbs... Maybe then she won't get so annoyed by my Redskin obsession. Thanks for the help!

I'm thinking Kyle should have more rollout plays for RG3. Seems to me this would keep him from getting abused as much as he does. Thoughts, please.
