Week 6 Washington Redskins vs Minnesota Vikings Pregame Thread

I was going to ask who was getting more snaps this week Cousins or Rex - being up hear in Jersey it aint exactly front page news. Im hoping for Rex, just in case RG3 doesnt play. Did I just say that?oh no you didn't

I did. I know. Im embarassed.

all i can say is that if griff sits out, it better be because he's having adamantium bonded to his bones

Then why play football? Running backs and line backers are basically in car crashes every play.


The thing about doctors is, they don't know everything. You'll find that some will give out bad advice or advice that is outdated. I work at a school of medicine so I can assure you on this. Hell, even my own doctor has given improper advice in terms of weight training vs cardio. My friend is a doctor and prescribes people to a 5 bite diet. I could go on and on... Also, this is why they normally send you to a specialist. Because its generally something they don't concentrate or continue educating on it.

It's true, and I basically never go to the doctor. Went after the last concussion because a friend/physician assistant scared the crap out of me w/ the brain bleed risk.

I too will be nervous for RG3 this week... nervous to lose him... i watched sidney crosby come back.too early after a blow.to the head and suffer another and it took him MAD LONG to return amd still.ismt.back to 100% .... people are just worried, not trying to play "armchair neurologists " ...

Ahhh words of wisdom...much admired.

i say roll w cousins. the more time he spends on the field, the more he can improve. the more time rex spends on the field, well, we know how that goes.

Build up Cousins' trade value?

Build up Cousins' trade value?no, not what i was thinking, just give him some more regular season experience.

it may actually hurt his trade value if he slings it around like he did last week. very early in his career/not enough playing time to speculate on that, though.

If he's given the green light to play, our worries shouldn't be any more significant than they would be on any Sunday.

My issue is with those convinced the team is doing the wrong thing by playing him. #1 he has be be cleared by an independent doctor, and #2 why would Shanahan be more qualified to make that decision vs. a doctor's opinion?

Maybe you're not playing armchair neuro, but there are some people that clearly are.

Griff is not yet cleared for Gameday. He is only cleared to practice without contact. Where did you hear he was cleared to play?

I didn't say he was cleared. I said if.
