Re: Washington Post: Redskins Training Camp Observations
Good breakdown. Have heard a lot of people saying Griff is holding on to the ball too long. Did you see that?

Re: Washington Post: Redskins Training Camp Observations
I keep hearing OG Nick Martinez's name mentioned recently. Is he playing well or is it just a slow news day? Would be nice to find a diamond in the rough on the OL. We need several.

Re: Washington Post: Redskins Training Camp Observations
To all: How do you feel about RGIII running the option, QB draws, and other designed running plays?
Frankly, I don't like the idea of making him a runner at all. As an NFL QB, He's going to take enough hits in the passing game. I have no problem with his rolling out with a run or pass option, particulary in the Red Zone. An occaisional QB draw by RGIII, in the right situation, should be very effective. The Skins should take advantage of his speed in those types of plays. But, if they use him as an option QB, he's going to take some big hits whether he pitches the ball or keeps it. I think that use of RGIII's skills would be far too risky to his health. If training camp practices are an indicator of what they want to do with RGIII in the running game, I'm hoping that the Shanahans come to their senses and drop the idea of using him to run the option offense. To me, the primary benefit of a mobile QB is that he can extend plays or turn broken plays into positive yardage. |

Re: Washington Post: Redskins Training Camp Observations
Not only that, in person he looks really, REALLY skinny. When I saw him on TV he looked like he could handle a beating, but the guy must have that "wiry" strength or something because I'd be really concerned with him getting smashed by an LB at full force.

DeMarcus Ware was drafted 11th overall and Osi was 56th overall.

However, I agree with you about the specter of injury. So if Gryphon runs just enough to establish the threat and keep defenses honest, that will be good enough for me.

For me its a risk/reward question. (and a frequency of use question) And I think the potential benefit is worth the risk. If Griffin can learn to be smart about when to look for and when/where to takes contact vs. avoid contact I think he can reduce the injury risk greatly. For all Cam Newton's size he's very smart about when/where to take contact vs. protect himself and get down. But there is huge and specific benefit to Griffin executing designed zone-read plays (that could result in QB runs) that is unique to Newton, Tebow and Griffin. The run threat posed by structured zone-read plays (i.e. QB runs) forces defenses to account for the QB in the run game by giving the offense a numerical advantage over the defense. This threat makes it possible to run(RBs) with efficiency from shotgun. This in turn forces defenses to play 'honest' looks against shotgun formations that respect the threat of the run and creates the opportunity for big plays off play-action from shotgun. |
