RGIII in the rain

[TheTotalPackage]

How have RGIII and other skill players like Garcon, et. al. performed in the rain and cold before? I ask because RGIII played last season in the Southwest; and Garcon spent the last few seasons playing in a dome, and it is plausible that they may ot have had decent exposure to such conditions.

I did a search before making this thread to make sure I wasnt posting about an already covered topic and found none.

They were doing ok in Dallas when some dolt forgot to close the roof...

Not sure specifically, but I don't expect to see Griffin running away from anyone. His speed will certainly be neutralized. That being said, the defense can slip and slide too.

The Steeler game it was raining and the wr's dropped 10 passes.

Expect a large dose of HONK-HONK (running game) from the Skins today. I see RGIII throwing the ball maybe 20 times. The Ratbirds run D is very suspect. I hope we capitalize on that. HAIL!

4 8-minute TD drives should be enough!

Was I the only one hoping this was gonna be a pic of RG3 in the rain? I sure as hell hope so.

Redskins run a lot of disception and misdirection. That should be a huge advantage in the rain. Like Tomhead said though, in the Steelers' game the rain caused a lot of drops.

Let's hope they've worked that out because otherwise, our offense should have a huge advantage in the rain.

RG3 plays well on wet track

5:15—It’s raining at FedEx Field and it looks like that will be the case all day, steady in the morning and off and on during the game.

That might slightly favor the Redskins, who are the better running team. Alfred Morris will still be able to plant his foot and power into the crease in the defense and it would seem that RG3 has an advantage because he knows where he’s going and the defense doesn’t.

On the other hand, Ray Rice seems like he is a good mudder, being relatively low to the ground. And the last time the Redskins played in any substantially wet weather they dropped 10 passes in a loss to the Steelers.

But Griffin can operate in the rain. Check out this account of Baylor vs. Texas from just over a year ago, a game played on “a rain-soaked day”.

Robert Griffin III, the quarterback Texas passed on during recruiting, passed all over the Texas secondary on his way to, at the very least, an invite to New York for the Heisman Trophy presentation. Griffin had 320 yards passing and touchdown throws of 59 and 39 yards to go along with 32 yards rushing and two more scores.

"He's a world-class sprinter and has a world class arm in a program that ain't done nothing," Texas safety Kenny Vaccaro said.

Griffin has done something now. He has led that nothing program to nine wins for the first time in 25 years. In the first seven plays, Griffin directed two touchdown drives and had passes of 59 and 48 yards. He also left the Longhorns' defenders a little bewildered.

Judging from the warm-up videos, it looks like the rain stopped and we're in for a cloudy afternoon. LETS GO REDSKINS!!!!!

True. Dont forget I said rain AND cold. In Texas, 60 degrees is considered cold.

He is a north south runner meaning he doesn't cut much. So as he slows down so to the defenders unless they wear rain "tires" LOL
