[quote=ethat001;1114645]Who knows what these numbers mean, but it's interesting that Griffin's rankings under pressure is 36th out of 37th among ranked QBs. He apparently gains 1.2 yards with a pass rush, vs. 7.9 without one. Clearly the blocking comes into play here, but that stinks.

Just hoping we're better this year.[/quote]

him running into pass rushers is the bigger issue. he has no feel of pressure or pocket presence or whatever you want to call it.

Just hoping we're better this year.[/quote]I think Griff's low ranking under pressure is from inexperience and lack of comfort in a rhytm drop back passing offense. To my eye it seemed Griffin was unsure at times. And I agree that pass protection played a role but many times Griff could have avoided pressure by knowing and going through his progressions with more urgency. I think Griff has a chance to improve his under pressure performance. Another year in the system coupled with the addition of a QB coach should help. Once Griffin gains an implicit understanding where and when to throw his accuracy numbers show that the ball will get there.

I'm sure everyone has their own thoughts on why Griff's under pressure ranking is low. Whatever the reason Griffin's ability to fix it will determine whether he's gonna be the guy.

Yeah as he really has not been himself for the past two seasons. As he needs to be. Hope he can redeem himself!

So just a random thought...

In several articles, Dan Synder has mentioned that he would love to build a stadium with all of the 'charms' of RFK Stadium.

So, once the DC United move out of RFK Stadium, why not demo the entire interior of the stadium, and rebuild it with all of the modern methods and technology. That way you get the retro with the new. Just a thought .

because dealing with DC makes people want to kill themselves, and they've also been pushing the name thing really hard, so i really doubt it happens in our lifetime.

He can't .There is the lease at FedEx and believe it or not much of the wealth of the Skins comes from the team owning FED Ex ,they(the Skins) don't own RFK so how do you propose they do this ?Stadiums in the NFL are running anywhere from 1.5 to 2 billion .

taxpayers pay for stadiums, at least partially, in almost all cases.

For the last 3 years, i've worked on the security system at RFK. It would cost more to renovate then build from scratch. In order to increase seating into what Dan would need, the foundations would have to be deeper and wider. And the electrical system would be a complete rebuild. That i can tell you first hand. That stadium is coming down.

Yes much of the revenue comes from the Skins owning FedEx, but the Redskins as a team and brand are much more valuable then the stadium. If the Clippers just told for 1.5-2 billion, then any NFL franchise that comes up for sale soon will easily eclipse that.

I understand that it factors into the face value, but if any team in the NFC East were to go up for sale the price paid would be more than the team is worth according to the numbers. The Giants, Cowboys, Redskins and Eagles would all sell for over 2.5 billion a piece.

Flipping across the channels and came across Djax's new....."reality" show. If mindless inane drivel were an NFL infraction, he would be in Rogers office right crying about a much deserved suspension.

Except for the nearly 300 million dollars new jersey had to spend rebuilding the infrastructure in the area. they also don't really pay any taxes for revenue from ticket sales and other sources of revenue. plus the state has to cover the 100 million dollar bond payment for the old stadium.

but besides that I'm sure the state got a great deal. NFL owners know how to screw local economies one way or the other.

Again , no the owners paid for any and all infrastructure from the stadium to the roads the state was all ready building as part of the new mall which was already planned to begin with , the old stadium was paid for .
