Mike Shanahan: We wouldn't risk further injury to RG3 - NFL.com

... Griffin aggravated the injury on a rollout in the second quarter, leading to a brief trip to the Washington locker room area to get taped up. At halftime, Shanahan asked Griffin if he was healthy enough to continue.

"Robert said to me, 'Coach, there's a difference between injured and being hurt. I can guarantee I'm hurting right now, give me a chance to win this football game because I guarantee I'm not injured,' " Shanahan said. "That was enough for me."

Shanny isn't the person to blame in this situation

Ummmm. The HC has the final say for the team on gamedays. You play. You don't play etc. etc. This is also on Shanahan because he clearly saw that his player was hurt and just because he wanted to play, doesn't mean you play him. Thats where your coaching comes in and you use your own judgement, not listen to your crippled QB. Of course he wants to play, RG3 has heart, but there comes a point--or a line--where you say Ok if he clearly doesn't look good and is in clear pain, yet wants to play, maybe he's not the best option and I shouldn't risk my future with him.

You are right but it is not simple as it looked like. Shanny obviously contemplated the idea of pulling Griffin out of the game but Griffin convinced him not to. Based on this move, it seem like Griffin has earned Shanny's trust before this game and Shanny decided to bank on it. People always want to blame someone and Shanny is the easiest target to blame it on. Perhaps you guys should blame it on Montgomery for snapping the ball low to the point where Griffin could not pick it up and aggravated the injury? Or even blame it on Griffin for not swallow his pride and decide to step down? There were several factors that collided together to this point, there is no simple answer.

This situation is something that I'm not upset about. I thought we should have played Cousins in 2nd half, but I am not upset at Shanny for not making the move. Shanny did what he believed was right and I'm sticking with him. I love coaches who does what he/she believes is right and not give in to outsiders' wishes.

Nice post . Funny how people are ripping the coach and RG111 for playing hurt , when many ripped Cutler for not playing hurt ( referring to media ) . I wish we had put KC in , but RG111 is our General .

I agree that he should have pulled RG3 at halftime. But I also think RG3 has earned the right to stay in the game and that's why we wasn't pulled. He's earned MS's trust. RG3 was hurting the team and should have pulled himself, but we know that wasn't going to happen. I think they're both to blame.
