Expected This - RG3 may in fact still be sporting that knee brace come Sunday...

Coach Mike Shanahan said Griffin, who will likely be listed officially as probable, has grown more comfortable playing with a brace on his right knee after wearing it for another full week of practice. He also confirmed Griffin’s knee has only improved.

Griffin wore a bulky brace on his right knee and appeared to limp as he walked during the game, but said afterwards that he wasn’t limited physically, and maintained the same stance on Wednesday. But Griffin did say that he expects to be allowed to do more against Dallas after showing coaches that he is healthy.

I think its more than just a hair.

He looks like Peyton Manning when he tries to run. I think his knee is giving him some problems but that Brace is really keeping him from running a few milliseconds faster

And what's crazy is he's still the fastest QB even with a brace. He was jogging the other night and running past people

yes, very true, but come playoffs, and especially against a fast seattle defense, we'll need him to be as fast as he can be.

Seattle will no doubt be the toughest defense Griff has seen so far. Even better than Pitt but we r at home and the Seahawks are 3-5 on the road.

He definitely didn't look like P Manning. He didn't have the 2nd gear we had seen earlier, but he still moved well enough to cause defenders to hesitate, and that is what makes the zone read plays effective. I also thought he scrambled pretty good, and Saturday he will be one week further removed.

I don't think he can be 100% until the brace comes off, and it's probably too soon for that.

Seattle will be the biggest challenge since the bye, because they're the first healthy and dominant defense we face. It's a fascinating match up as the two rosters are very close talent-wise, and both teams believe they can win.

I don't believe the Seahawks are the best playoff team from the NFC though.

He looked more mobile than he did against Philly that's for sure.

I think he's just being cautious more than anything, and that brace has gotta be annoying too.

When was the last time Manning ran for 60 yards in a game? lol

I think the brace slows him down but yea, I think hes definitely being cautious. Some plays he looked pretty explosive.

On an unrelated note, wtf was up with the field? The it looked tore up before the game even started and looked like that slowed all runners a bit. Hopefully will be good to go by Sunday.

FedEx is a high use facility. It's surface is pretty bad. Lots of painted dirt. I've been on it with no one else around and got to see it up close. Plus it had just rained/snowed so it was pretty soft.

Re: RG3 cleared to play (update)
 

I think it's the brace. Those braces really protect your knee, but when it comes to coming out of breaks and juking, it's pretty hard. Not only that, it is heavy, and as the game goes on, it really wears out your leg.

Re: RG3 cleared to play (update)
 

I sometimes wear a brace for running and I can't stand it. It definitely restricts your movement enough to annoy you. I'm sure they have that thing on fairly tight too. You can see he kinda runs with a little hitch in his step, no doubt it's the brace doing that.

It's supposed to be a 3-4 week recovery time, perhaps this week he can go with a sleeve vs the brace? Or maybe he'll just continue with the brace, I mean if he can run for 60 yards with it how much of an issue is it really?

Of course its a precaution but I believe its mostly to keep his mind off the thought of re injury. 90% mental 10% precaution. IMO

Did you see that hit he took in the Dallas game last week where he stayed down for a few seconds? He wasn't hurt but extremely nervous about getting up on his feet not sure what to expect. Once he got up he was fine and ran with a little more confidence the rest of the game. It's a mental thing more than anything at this point.

Agree with this observation. How can the Redskins be one of the most valuable franchises in the NFL and have "CRAP" for grass and a field. Come on Snyder, buy some terf and fix this stuff before Sunday! Geez! I know our team was going "Old School" with all the runs last Sunday night, but can our field not be so old school?

It looked to me like he stayed down because he fell right on the ball and got the wind knocked out of him a bit.

Re: RG3 cleared to play (update)
 

I thought he stayed down so he could hear the collective gasp, and following silence as 80000+ people held their breath till he stood up. ;)

exactly. And Snyder wants to host a super bowl. Your field has to be nice first and foremost before you can go to the next step (stadium accessibilty)

Its better to look like shit then for them to add turf that does not have a root base and tears up in sections. FedEx has always been that way because they want to avoid the problems with a newly soded field.

Ok, well then can Synder hire someone from Augusta National to teach them how to grow grass?! How is it that other teams in cold weather locations have grass in December but the Skins don't?

Re: RG3 cleared to play (update)
 

You guys need to notice the field in Green Bay this weekend. I guarantee it will look better than Fed-X field and its freezing up there.

Re: RG3 cleared to play (update)
 

The injury might be a blessing in disguise, read what Griffin explain about what he learned from the injury.

[QUOTE]
But Griffin said he thinks the injury has helped his game.

“It did show me things I can do to make the game easier for myself and easier on my body,” he said. “Ironically I’ve done a better job protecting myself since the injury, sliding to get down and getting all the yards I can. Sometimes things have to happen for you to really grasp that and it’s shown me a lot.[/QUOTE]
