He's the chosen son.


We may have another Clinton Portis-like character on our hands with Griffin.

RGIII can dress however he wants...he's a stud on the field.

Re: Off Season Griffin Man Crush thread
 

As long as we keep going to the playoffs he can wear Pokemon pajamas for all I care.

Re: Off Season Griffin Man Crush thread
 

He probably does.

Break them out at a press conference, Robert!

We know he's not afraid of the NFL's dress code already.

I'm actually worried he is rushing his recovery. This is insanely fast, seemingly faster than AP...

It's actually not unusual for someone to be running 3-4 months post ACL recon.

Q1. How long is the recovery period for this procedure?

A1. Initially, the patient is non weight bearing for 2 weeks. The patient can then wean off of the crutches when they can walk without a limp between weeks 2-6. Slow rehab will be allowed at this time while the bone is still healing in the tunnels. Activities are usually increased from weeks 7 through 12. Around week 12, some patients return to jogging. Patients may then return to sports at 5 through 7 months if they pass functional and strength testing.

Wasn't it far more extensive than just an ACL, though? Didn't he have the LCL torn as well? That requires more time to heal I thought due the fact that it had to be ostensibly stationary for the majority of the rehab process... (I could be making that up).

Either way, I'm an overly cautious person. If I'm the GM I wouldn't allow him to play until week 4 at the earliest regardless of if he's healthy and in shape by week 1.

Re: Off Season Griffin Man Crush thread
 

I thought they said the LCL doesn't make for a longer rehab since he had them both done at the same time.

You're probably right on that. I should check into it.

I'm sure Dan Snyder would appreciate his gift.

Just read thru @HTTR24_7's timeline from last night, could have been the OP for this thread:

basic gist was Griffin instills motivation to play... TW played 14games on one leg, PG had a separated shoulder one game, went to the sideline had it popped in place and kept playing, Morgan blocked downfield even hurt when he saw Griffin out there blocking for Morris. I am sure there were more.

Griffin plays to win the game!

Re: Off Season Griffin Man Crush thread
 

Last year drove 3 to 4 hours to SKINS camp no problem. Didn't think I would do the 7 to 8 hour drive to there new camp but I think/know I will be doing it. Can't wait had a great time.

With his teammates all making sacrifices like that how could anyone expect Griffin to take himself out when he was hurting?

So True.

[quote=Mattyk;1002289]With his teammates all making sacrifices like that how could anyone expect Griffin to take himself out when he was hurting?[/quote]Coach should be the one to make that call, not the player, IMO. I was rooting for Griffin the whole game, but Shanny really should have yanked him when he was limpimg before the second touchdown. Hindsight 20/20 and all that. Personally, I was hoping Griff would pull thru right up till the knee gave out for good, so I don't know better myself.

A bunch of bandwagon fans will be running around lol.

Re: Off Season Griffin Man Crush thread
 

I have yet to get my RG3 Jersey. I have awful luck though with my jerseys.

Bought a Santana Moss jersey, kept the tag in it incase he didn't pan out (he did, so I still have the jersey). Then I bought an Adam Archuletta jersey assuming he'd be this great safety, kept the tag in it, returned it for an Antwann Randel El jersey, he sucked, returned that for an Albert Haynesworth jersey, we all know what happened there, returned that for a Brian Orakpo jersey, he's been hurt since I've had it and trade rumors have come up with his name, but I'm going to keep it. As you can see, throwing out $100 for a jersey which I'll wear on gamedays for a player who may or may not be with the team 3 years down the road. (Yes I know Griffin will be here a long time) but I'm just worried about his injury history and that me getting his jersey will make him even more injury prone every year (I'm not superstitious, but I'm a little stitious)

I'm definitely superstitous, so I'd like to request that you stop buying jerseys. Thanks.

If you have this kind of magnificent power you'd better be buying all 53 of each team. And while you're at it grab the practice squad too, you can't be too careful.

Or are you only a casual fan?
