Chiefs Shanahan Grilled by DC Press (Says the MRI Might Be Wrong Because of Old Injuries) - Page 10

RINGLEADER · 01-07-2013, 02:18 PM

Watching Shanahan get questioned about putting RG3 into the game long enough to watch his knee go side-ways. Getting peeved. Fun to watch him squirm. The fact that he didn't come out and say RG3 was fine and instead is sending him to Dr. Andrews for another set of MRIs ("sometimes old injuries can fool new MRIs") doesn't sound good...

That's what scares me about Robert Griffin III. Amazing talent... but guys who run around never stay healthy when they're taking licks like that from NFL defenses.

T-Bow and Cam Newton at least have a shot because they are freaks. They are built like a TE/LB.

Hootie · 01-09-2013, 12:40 AM

Newton doesn't really take hits, though.

Watch him. He takes what he can get, and then he always does this little tumble slide thing and avoids ever taking direct hits. It's quite impressive, really.

Yeah but even when people hit him it never looks that bad because Newton's as big or bigger than the guy hitting him. He can inflict punishment when he wants to. RGIII will never be able to do that.

Hootie · 01-09-2013, 12:44 AM

True.

I think dos Shanahan should probably start fading that read option and working on developing him into a true pocket passer with pocket mobility. No doubt in my mind RGIII has that ability, he's a very gifted passer. He's not Vick.

Well, I can only fault Shanarat for not taking him out when he should have IMO. I would have pulled him after halftime. However, I've never coached in a playoff game so I can't really relate. It is hard to tell an athlete no, especially when they feel they can still be effective at HS, College, or professional level.

Hootie · 01-09-2013, 12:49 AM

the Redskins based their offense around the run this year...what they should do is use the read option as a change up to keep the defenses on their toes rather than their bread and butter.

Yup.

I doubt that Griffin III would be the impact player teammates and fans have come to expect if he was primarily a pocket passer.

I disagree. That guy has solid pocket presence and ability to move within and extend the pocket, as well as great accuarcy and arm strength. If the Rat decided to run more PA off their stretch play in the pistol/singleback sets instead of focusing on having him run a ZR, I think it would benefit both. RG3 is talented enough as a pure passer to fit any offensive system IMO ( WCO, WCO-varied ala Reid/ McCarthy, E/P, etc)

I'm starting to be okay with not trading for him. I don't think he'll be in the league for more than 3-5 years.

Oh no...don't backtrack.

****ing people thinking this guy is the resurgence of Fran Tarkenton.

Griffin is a 6'1", 215 lbs. guy that relied on his legs to make the downfield play. He was going to get destroyed and yet everyone around here thought he was the second coming of Jesus Christ.

Concussion earlier. Legs now.

How happy are the Redskins giving up those picks now?

RG3 can still be an exceptional pocket guy. He's made several plays from the poclet going through reads that are fantastic. For example, early in the Dallas (1) game, he ran a PA bubble screen on a doubles LT, in which he sold PA (might have been a ZR but the way it developed I doubt it iirc) and then pumped to the bubble, looked down the field on the left 9 route, and then *checked it down* to a TE on a 9yd in-dig.

Granted, I'm trying to recall this from memory and will have to rewatch to make sure it is accurate, but I do know that Griffin went through a minimum of 2 reads before checking it down to a 9 yd gain that wasn't probably supposed to be his check down. I think he's more than a competent pocket passer and can be elite despite scheme. JMHO though.

BryanBusby · 01-09-2013, 02:47 AM

I'm sure the field had nothing to do with it at all
