RGIII sits this week, plays next.

It's their off day.

With absolutely no insight on the extent of the injury, what he is able to do on the field, whether he can plant, run, jump or spin I am a fan of going all in with Cousins this week - 100% of the 1st team reps and start him. If RG3 is able to dress and come in off the bench as a last resort - great. Otherwise I think this team can beat the Browns without him. Of course it will take a complete effort all around, but it is doable.

That said, if RG3 is >79% - he better start.

Who do you all trust more; Garcon who is on the team and in all the offense meetings, Or Robert Griffins father?

[punch it in]

We showcase Cousins to the league.
We win.
We grow as a TEAM.
Griff gets rested and healthy.
Win, win, win, win.

I got the impression from PG that he was giving the typical answer...."we are preparing for Cousins to start until we are told otherwise".

Since they haven't had any team meetings, practices or work since Sunday and he said he hadn't spoken to RGIII since Sunday, I'll roll with Pops.

Edit: not sayin i think Garcon knows anything or Pops for that matter. Just was wondering if we had film sessions or meetings on Monday.

Garcon: Sure thing coach.

I think I may retract what I said about believing Garcon. Every time he's stated something publicly about a injury, the opposite has happened....lol

[MTK]

It's very doubtful Garçon knows anything.

If he can move inside the pocket and throw he should be on the field. This game is simply too important to have our best qb on the bench if he is able.

Quoted for post strength equivalent to that of the ligament in question.

No need to rush him back unless he's given a clearance by the medical staff. The last thing we need is for a weakened knee to be blown out. Not only will this season be lost, but next seasons will be as well.

Does it need to be a "Top Clearance"?

I trust he person at the doctor with him. I trust the first person he called after the MRI. Garcon was in Bristol. RG2 was with RG3 supporting his dream.

I trust the doctors more. A lot of people I know are basing if RG3 will play off of his actions after his injury on Sun. When his adrenalin was high and he probably felt less pain. The doctors didn't feel much movement in the knee so they let him go back out (most likely bad idea at the time) and RG3 ended up having to come off the field a second time. MRI showed no tissue damage which is great but that does not mean RG3 can run, scramble to avoid pressure from a defense, and clearly it hurt him when planting his foot to throw.
