Robert Griffin III - Washington Redskins - 2013 Player Profile - Rotoworld.com

[MTK]

QB Robert Griffin III (right knee) did similar throwing drills to those we’ve seen the last two weeks. He moved smoothly rolling to his right at a brisk pace on a keeper. He ran long sprints after his throwing work. Afterwards, he limped slightly but noticeably.
“Larry [Hess, head athletic trainer] told me that coming out here,” Griffin said. “I asked him if he was joking because he does joke like that a lot, about me limping, but I didn’t feel like I was limping. Wasn’t sore at all. I did think he was joking, but he said he was serious and some people were saying they thought I was limping, but, nah, I wasn’t.”

First thing he has said that I really don't like. Look it's great he wants to be out there, and seeing him in the few clips running around he looks great, but if the trainer and others are telling him he is limping, he needs to hear that and accept it.

Good back and forth about the offense. Not really breaking any news, but both sides are brought up in a respectful back and forth:

I think he wanted to win the SB last year but G has no interest in it this year........

a good read, with good all-22 and other clips, of the 2 major injuries Griffin suffered, and how both were (very!) easily avoided if Griffin made a different decision:

I hope he watched these tapes, and continues to learn about letting a play die.

Not even sure why he bothered to write this article after how long it's been. I think anybody with half a brain knows he got injured off of scrambles, and it had nothing to do with the read option.

Mainly because I still see fans and media personalities and hasbeen former Redskins quarterbacks talking about how he got hurt because the Redskins ran the read-option.


I think most intelligent 'Skins fans know that he didn't get hurt running the read-option, but the amount of people I run in to that think otherwise is pretty noticeable.

Well there is atleast 1 poster here, and tons of media and fans, that still puts it on the read option. But I am sure mainly he knows it will drive people like me to his site and he will get hits based off of it.

A lot of the fan base isn't as informed as many of the posters on various Redskins forums. There is a segment of fans that only read the Washington Post or Pete Prisco, take it as gospel and argue with you all day.

We aim to inform folks while balancing out the negativity some of the mainstream media brings & aren't into writing stuff just for hits, if we were we would be writing about the Skins possibly cutting Hall & Davis like some other sites out there lol.

KC's piece follows up 4 weeks of Jason Reid attacking the read option like Mike Wise attacks the name debate. I wouldn't mind the articles if Reid used actual film or even x's & o's to back it up but he doesn't.

Appreciate you checking us out and HTTR

Honestly I appreciate the post. Basically because of all the statiscal data HTTR brought to the table.

Most of us know it, but even I was somewhat shocked to see that 50 of 120 rushes were off of broken plays. I knew it was high but that is great data to have. Thanks for the post.

[artmonkforhallofamein07]

Also it was a cool side note that in the first nine games we ran it 50 times and over the seven game winning streak only 20. That shows that the offense was already evolving at the end of last year.
