Quick RG3 update (next person to speculate on how much time he will miss without any kind of real knowledge will miss time of his own) (merged)

And you need to find another place to "hang out." I told you before, if you're going to try to "hang out" here in the stadium you needed to learn the rules specifically, and the lay of the land in general. It's enough to respond to matters involving redskins fans without cleaning up after some lost giants fan. this is twice now today. if you want to post on ES about your team, do in atn in an appropriate thread. if i am drawn to your posts again by a valid report, you won't be doing it in any ES forum for a good chunk of time.

huh?

This was directly about your team. I said you guys need to win out...forget it, you guys are way to picky over here...I'm out. Hopefully we can both find our way to the playoffs.

[Skinz4Life12]

man i hope his body heals quick this week. i feel like we need to win out to get in

[AirMayo21]

How I'm feeling right now. Raptor Jesus being Robert Griffin III

[nemocystem]

Can we stop with any assumption that RGIII is any more/less vulnerable than most QB's on any givem play? We ran the pistol option 6 times last week & maybe 5 times this week. He ran on a few plays when NOTHING was open. I'd take that kind of option 25 times over a standstill statue in the pocket. It's not like he's running in spite of himeself...he's running to make positive results when nothing else is there. So he takes a whump or two...doesn't any QB not behind a dominant O-line???

Good news on the MRI. I will still be nervous about this injury until we get an official injury report later in the week. Hopefully our guy is good to go by this weekend.

[ConnSKINS26]

I think the brace may become a permanent fixture lol. Is the right knee the same knee that he tore his ACL in college?

That actually doesn't help, long-term, or every player in the league would wear braces on both knees to prevent injury. The knee needs to support itself long-term to be structurally sound.

You won't be missed.

I have never been so worried as a skins fan in my whole life.

[skin23]

Only reason he was running on that play is because Royster abandoned his blocking assignment early and left an unblocked blitzer come free. RGIII had no choice but to run. He could have gone out of bounds or stayed wide, but Royster sure has been terrible this year.

[beachboy757]

You gotta think that him being a track and field player previously has a lot to due with the strength and conditioning of his legs. So glad to hear the positive MRI results.

Cunningham did't have plays that were designed for him to run the ball as part of the game plan nor did Vick. RG is literally in an offense that is 75/25 on run plays depending on what the DE or OLB does. At that point if they take the runner on the play fake he runs or possibly throws at best but many times runs. RG is exposed at this point much more as a runner due to scheme than Randell or Vick ever were.

We keep this up for a long time and you'll find yourself rooting for Cousins or some other QB.

We gave up a lot for RG and I want him learning how to tear defenses with his arm 98% of the time and the other 2% is defended 50% of the time.

dawg, the worse hits RG3 takes are in the pocket.

The Redskins need to improve the OLine.

People need to stop listening to what the media are saying about RG3 and actually remember what he happens during the game. The Redskins OLine is the one of hte worst pass protection units in the NFL.

Why would anyone want to limit RG3's athletic ability to shoehorn him into a traditional drop back QB when we have a terrible OLine? I dont understand this at all.

Not with this O line.
He goy hurt trying make a play at the end of the game, can't fault him for that.

exactly, these folks are running with ESPN talking points and ignoring what they are seeing every week

I'm pretty sure Cunningham (and most running QBs) had designed runs as part of the offense.

But its not just Cunningham. What about Steve Young, John Elway, Fran Tarkenton, and Donovan McNabb? They all had long careers. The idea that a running QB is doomed to a short career is officially debunked in my mind.

exactly.

and stfu with the "bob" crap....show some respect....*******.

Really?..Lots of people call him Bob here. Might want to ease up on the caffeine, bro.

Dang I'm really glad he's okay but man we have to a better job of protecting him. In the pocket and out of. We have to dedicate ourselves to making sure he is protected.

[Bubble Screen]

Which one you talking about on the sidelines? ONe where he was hit on the head and the guy was launching towards his helmet (and did make some contact?) That's a dirty play it looked like Pollard was imitating Rodgers-Cromartie on that one. There was another one where Griffin was already out of bounds and the Ravens player hit him to the ground while everyone's feet were in the chalk. It was an illegal hit.

The Ravens, like many of the teams we played, went out to play dirty against RG3 specifically. The Rams, Bengals, Cowboys and today stand out but I might have missed someone. Oh, the Eagles but more because of two instances that I recall.

I'm talking about the one where he got up and looked at the officials for a call. The one where he was still in bounds and got hit. He was fair game. And I'm not sure if that's the same one where he got contacted in the helmet or not, but all I know is he's got to start his slide sooner or something near the sidelines. Better yet, just get out of bounds while he has the opportunity.

And are people really saying the hit where he was injured was dirty? Not even close. Just hope he regains full movement this week and doesn't miss any more time.

[jnhay]

I was just kidding..long story. Glad he is okay though genuinely..want you guys to be at your best..injuries suck.

Subtle jokes like that will be taken 100% seriously around here when it comes to RGIII. People are ridiculous.
