I say this as a "devil's advocate". But what's stopping DEs from just blitzing all out, and if it's a read option just go hit the QB? It's not like they'll get a penalty if they can get to the QB right after he hands off the ball.
If they can't get to the QB the back is probably running wild in your secondary.
And with someone like RG3 who makes great reads, he's never going to keep the ball when he sees the end selling out in his direction.

All I know is If it worked they would be doing it already.

Thoughts on RG3's knee rehabilitation, the blame game, and what to expect when he returns - Washington Times (http://www.washingtontimes.com/blog/redskins-watch/2013/jan/15/thoughts-rg3s-knee-rehabilitation-blame-game-and-w/)
More of the same, with a little more. Worth the read. IMO
I am officially tapped out when it comes to stuff about RG3 and kneegate. Let me know when there's an actual real update.

I second that. How about we close this thread and post a warning on the site that anyone mentioning the knee for the next month gets banished to extremeskins until the regular season starts. I'm pretty sure extremeskins is a penal colony, like Australia, right?

I hear ya, unfortunately, there wont be a "real" update. Whatever the status regarding RG3's knee, all we will hear from the Skins camp is how great his recovery is going and the knee will be 100%. Everyone else will report the opposite.
Like it or not, it's still the biggest story in the NFL and the Redskins. HTTR!!!

I am surprised we don't have a daily RG3 crutch watch. I figure it's coming mid February.
