Evidently DC is not a good place to play if you don't want your legs snapped in half.

There are two stories here:
Do you suppose world-renowned orthopedic surgeon Dr. James Andrews told USA Today Sports that he did not clear Robert Griffin III "to return for four plays against the Ravens on Dec 9 when he sprained his knee" - Which will coincide with the release of his new book “On Any Given Monday” on Tuesday? Why did Andrews wait three weeks to release the information? Seattle Seahawks at Washington Redskins: There are different views on whether Griffin III should have continued playing Sunday after reinjuring his knee in the first half. Standard protocol suggests team doctor's rule the sidelines. Coaches do not have the ability to override the judgment of doctor’s decision to let players back on the field. In clear view of the camera, RGIII "went to a shed behind the Redskins bench, had his knee taped" by Dr. Andrews and was cleared to return to the field. Andrews does not have to speak with the media since the law protects client medical information. Just my opinion

It was interesting listening to Tony Dungy talk about this on the radio this morning. He was pretty candid in saying that his decision would be based on whether the less than 100% starter still gave you a better chance to win than the healthy backup. Never once did he indicate that the player's long term health factored in. Basically it was play the guy that gave you the best chance to win unless the doctor or player took him(self) out.
I think maybe it shines some light on the part of the business we all kind suspect exists. They are making potentially million dollar decisions. Maybe that playoff win is a higher priority. My opinion is simply that the Redskins exposed themselves to this risk when they implemented an offense that we all know exposes the QB to greater injury risk. We've seen it before with Vick and other running threat QBs. Their legs win games, and their injuries lose them.

But the Andrews situation at large is in reference to a different game. I think their game against the Ravens, where RGIII initially hurt his knee, came back in for a bit, and then went out for the rest of that game. He then missed their next game and was never quite the same. According to Shanny, Dr. Andrews told him that RGIII was cleared to return to that Ravens game. So if he ended up injuring himself worse when he came back in, hey, not Shanny's fault. Except Dr. Andrews contradicted that in an interview this past weekend. He said RGIII avoided the doctors and didn't let himself get checked out. So he didn't clear him to go back in because he never even got to look at him. Which would suggest that Shanny made up a conversation. When RGIII came out the second time against the Ravens, they finally got to check him and said he couldn't go back in. Shanny tried to tap dance around all of that today. But the point is that everything that happened yesterday is part of a bigger picture where Shanny's credibility doesn't look so hot. |

An NFL general manager was asked; if the spread option offense could be more than a trend in NFL. He said there is a reason the spread option offense has not been in the pros - It was not only the violence of the game make it unlikely an option quarterback stays healthy – More importantly, you need a consistent franchise quarterback that gives you continuity. Option quarterbacks are unable to do that.

The reason I liked RG3 is because I thought he could be a pocket passer and use his mobility to extend plays. The option shit Washington was running consistently was bound to get him killed. They are pretty dumb if they think a QB can do that and survive in the NFL with his frame. Especially, trading away your future to do so. I just have to SMH.

I must admit that I have never seen that before. Maybe, I've just never noticed sheds on the sidelines.

I hope that Griffin comes back strong next year, and more importantly, Shanahan redesigns the offense.

I disagree Hootie at some point Shannahan has to make the move after it became obvious RG was not going to do anything.

Robert Griffin expected to undergo surgery this week on torn LCL and at that time doctors will determine if any damage has been done to ACL. |
