The Wilson Blueprint

I thought that John Keim was spot on here:
Seahawks QB Russell Wilson provides blueprint for Redskins RG III - ESPN (http://espn.go.com/blog/washington-redskins/post/_/id/11660/wilson-provides-blueprint-for-rg-iii)

I believe that the team and RG3's camp have been going too far out of their way to make Griffin exclusively a pocket passer. Russell Wilson's performance last night, taking what the undisciplined edge rushers would give him on the ground, and extending passing plays with his legs, resulted in multiple chunk plays while absorbing very little contact. It was the elder Griffin that tried to convince the son that running QBs don't win in the NFL. Wilson reminded everyone that a talented running QB can be a devastating weapon, without jeopardizing his health, if he picks his spots, and slides or gets OB. I hope that Griffin, Gruden, and RG2 took notice last night.

honestly i nthe JAX game thta seemed like what they were doing with RGIII. then he got hurt.

I believe SS was saying RGIII need a cupcake game to get back on track, I really think that was the game.

The problem is none of this means jack if you can't stay healthy and IMO that is Griffin's number one problem.

Amazing to me that outside of Percy Harvin they got nothing at receiver or TE. Harvin is huge, but he isnt a move the chains, possession or red zone guy.

It shows that the Seahawks have an offense that doesn't depend a lot on the passing game. And well that happens when you don't have to play from behind a lot. But with the Wilson's threat of the run and Lynch's ability, Wilson can capitalize on play action passes.

Just look at the Wilson's passing numbers compared to Kirk:

RW: 852 yds. 70.3% comp 8 TDs 1 INT
KC: 1217 yds 61.3% comp 8 TDs 5 INTs

Of course, Wilson does a great job at taking care of the football and his legs are a threat as well.

70.3 comp and 1 int...tells me he's decision making is probably top 3 in the league. He may not be throwing much, but when he does its he's executing at an extremely high level.

^ I think that is a very under valued aspect of RW's game.

Kinda tired of this whole RG3 drama. Wilson knows who he is as a QB. Most importantly he accepts who he is and doesn't try to be someone he's not. Maybe one day RG3, his dad and the Redskin coaches will realize this.

Last night, Wilson just wore out Kerrigan and Orakpo.

I wish we'd scrap this whole idea of trying to transform Robert and just build the system around what he does best. You can still work on his pocket game at the same time. Doesn't have to be an either/or situation.

Winner winner chicken dinner.

Ride that horse until it breaks then figure out a new QB plan. Rather a few seasons of electrifying Griffin then several years of frustrating Griffin.
