[quote=CultBrennan59;1010014]RG2 is reminding me of that annoying little league parent who wants the coach to listen to him more. He needs to zip it.

The media is also overblowing this whole shanahan Griffin fiasco. It's nothing, but the media has to make a story about a high profile athlete.[/quote]

haha Yea I agree with that.

Re: Off Season Griffin Man Crush thread
 

I hear he's moving quite well so far during OTAs.

Re: Off Season Griffin Man Crush thread
 

He is going to be ready by Training camp easily. Its just going to be a matter of how much Preseason action the Shanahans will allow him to have.

I would guess he won't play a snap in the preseason and they will limit him somewhat in camp as well. Maybe split the snaps with Cousins. No sense in pushing things.

The comment section of that article is truly ridiculous. Either absolute hate, or unconditional praise. Pretty sure there will always be a devoted hater group for him based on how much media attn he gets.

I agree. Wouldn't totally shock me if he sat for the Philly game out of precaution. Sounds like he'll be ready though.

He's either ready to go week 1 or he'll sit out more than 1 game.

Re: Off Season Griffin Man Crush thread
 

The way they show him moving in OTAs right now, (at the end of May) I don't see how he is not totally ready by the 1st of September. That's another 13 weeks from now. I mean he is so far ahead of schedule, it makes the old schedule of recovery from these type of injuries seem obsolete to me. Dr. Andrews has totally changed the recoverly timeframe for ACL/LCL for premier athletes. Maybe it would take you and me longer, but not an athlete whose total job every day has been recovery.

Re: Off Season Griffin Man Crush thread
 

Griffin will be ready, but I'll be just fine with Cousins for game one. Heck, I'd be fine with Cousins if it's game one through four.

Well, let's see what he looks like after game one before we anoint him the starter for games two, three and four...

If we don't anoint him, who else will start? Oh yeah, a certain Mr. Grossman. No thanks! I'll go with Cousins even if he throws 5 interceptions in Game 1.

I can just imagine our next nightmare scenario. Griff starts the year on the PUP list, and Cousins has an average/mediocre first game. Hell hath no fury like Redskins fans getting pissed off at quarterback play.

Cousins mediocre? A pox on you sir!! KC will lead this band of players to sunshine and happiness with some funky QB play.

Pat White will soon make us forget about RGIII. They say he is just a camp arm but such talk will cease after he leads us to 5 Super Bowls in a row!

Re: Off Season Griffin Man Crush thread
 

Loved some of the quotes in the video:

"Maybe you haven't tried tackling Robert Griffin, but if you've ever chased an important piece of paper on a windy day, you know the feeling."

"Find the Create-A-Player option in your favorite video game and max out every attribute. That's Griffin."

As most expected, zone read here to stay. Why stop something that stresses the defense so much? Kyle says if the defense adjust, expect the offense to adjust with it.

I think both RG3 and KC are going to be much improved in the offense and as the learn curve is lessen and Kyle expands the playbook. Excited to see what we add to the playbook and I think a receiver out the back field could be a major part in the growth of the offense. Whether its Helu or one of the 2 new guys.

Cannot afford to lose the.....threat of Robert running. Even the....possibility of Robert running with it scares the crap out of defenses.
And naturally does all kinds of nice "keeping the D honest" and at home.

Re: Off Season Griffin Man Crush thread
 

this may sound like a joke but im 100% serious ..

every time i hear or get reminded of RG3 i get a flutterring sensation in my heart and butterflies in my stomach just visualizing and dreaming of his 1st regular season snap this season ..

its weird.

it makes me feel weird. am i alil gay? do i over-value sports? am i using sports to fill a major void in my life? i know my obsession w sports has always had a negative impact on my relationships and my fiance has voiced her displeasure many a times . . im just thankful that all us guys got together and agreed that we are going to heavily push the notion that guys compulsively obsessing over sports is 100% normal and that if one of our ladies did want to leave us her only option would just be other guys also obsessing about sports so she might as well just stick with us since she already put in years of work getting us to lift the toilet seat or not leaving dirty dishes in the basement .... with all that said, i think i am a sports addict.

i even sit there and watch the keno horse races when i didnt make a bet.

I can somewhat relate to you there. Every time I watch the Redskins,( I'm particularly thinking about Griffin's 76 yard TD run against Minnesota) I get all choked up, and like you, I get butterflies in my stomach.
It's the same way when I step onto a field with a bunch of friends getting ready to play a pick-up football game. I get weak in the legs, and I feel like I can hardly control myself, like I own the world.


Yeah, it's a little weird, but, still, I think it's normal. I think most true sports fans feel the same way about their particular team or sport.

Hell even I like Bob and I think as I have said before he can be one of the best but is he now , no. He has to finish a season first without getting hurt for one thing.
