Help! What if he injures his knee all over again!? I'll have my fingers crossed.

Not just day 1, but day 1 of training camp. Man, please don't play him in game 3 of the preseason, the second-guessers would never let it go.

Re: Official Redskins Off-season News and Rumors - Part Quatre
 

I don't mind Griffin being ready by game 1, but I'd be just fine if he takes it easy by day 1 of training camp.

You know I kind of had a conversation with him about a month ago (we're not friends or anything, but have several mutual friends). Anyhow, he said something about being with the Redskins and getting ready for camp. And at first I was like "wait, is he breaking some news here?" But then I kind of brushed it off and figured I heard wrong or he was talking about a couple of years back

And yeah, camp fodder I'd imagine

Now if we could just get Gaffney to try out, we may have Goat calling Shanny a genius for once.

If we're gonna give old WRs a try, why not Randy Moss?

DCSkins - Washington Redskins Fans Cousins on Fletcher interception: “We threw a touchdown pass on him in seven-on-seven yesterday where he had the guy covered pretty well but it was still completed, [Fletcher] was very frustrated about that. He walked by me today in the locker room just before we came out here and he goes, ‘I’m gonna pick you off today.’ And I shook my head. I go, ‘All right. You know, all right.’ And sure enough, he picks me off."

Hail!

It's always refreshing to have the correct perspective on the situation. So many overreactions on Adam Schefter's tweet yesterday that it made me sick.

Re: Official Redskins Off-season News and Rumors - Part Quatre
 

QB Robert Griffin III (right knee) did similar throwing drills to those we’ve seen the last two weeks. He moved smoothly rolling to his right at a brisk pace on a keeper. He ran long sprints after his throwing work. Afterwards, he limped slightly but noticeably.
“Larry [Hess, head athletic trainer] told me that coming out here,” Griffin said. “I asked him if he was joking because he does joke like that a lot, about me limping, but I didn’t feel like I was limping. Wasn’t sore at all. I did think he was joking, but he said he was serious and some people were saying they thought I was limping, but, nah, I wasn’t.”

Good. I hope that he is learning new moves, without which he likely won't be DPOY.

"Last week, Orakpo unleashed a wicked spin move against Pro Bowl left tackle Trent Williams, who acknowledged Orakpo is a chore to block. Head coach Mike Shanahan has noticed."

Thats the first time Ive read Orakpo and spin move in the same sentence. If he adds another move, that could be pretty big. All he normally had in the past was a speed rush and bull rush. Not saying DPOY big, but he doesnt have to be that to have a successful season.

Heck yeah. That's what I'm talking about.

Re: Official Redskins Off-season News and Rumors - Part Quatre
 

Good back and forth about the offense. Not really breaking any news, but both sides are brought up in a respectful back and forth:

First thing he has said that I really don't like. Look it's great he wants to be out there, and seeing him in the few clips running around he looks great, but if the trainer and others are telling him he is limping, he needs to hear that and accept it.

I could see it happening, he must be really fired up about the team now that we have a real offense to help the defense. After the experience with Zorn era, he must be pumped to have Shanny as coach and winning team. And of course, it's contract year for him.

a good read, with good all-22 and other clips, of the 2 major injuries Griffin suffered, and how both were (very!) easily avoided if Griffin made a different decision:

Not even sure why he bothered to write this article after how long it's been. I think anybody with half a brain knows he got injured off of scrambles, and it had nothing to do with the read option.

Well there is atleast 1 poster here, and tons of media and fans, that still puts it on the read option. But I am sure mainly he knows it will drive people like me to his site and he will get hits based off of it.

Mainly because I still see fans and media personalities and hasbeen former Redskins quarterbacks talking about how he got hurt because the Redskins ran the read-option.


I think most intelligent 'Skins fans know that he didn't get hurt running the read-option, but the amount of people I run in to that think otherwise is pretty noticeable.

A lot of the fan base isn't as informed as many of the posters on various Redskins forums. There is a segment of fans that only read the Washington Post or Pete Prisco, take it as gospel and argue with you all day.

We aim to inform folks while balancing out the negativity some of the mainstream media brings & aren't into writing stuff just for hits, if we were we would be writing about the Skins possibly cutting Hall & Davis like some other sites out there lol.

KC's piece follows up 4 weeks of Jason Reid attacking the read option like Mike Wise attacks the name debate. I wouldn't mind the articles if Reid used actual film or even x's & o's to back it up but he doesn't.

Appreciate you checking us out and HTTR

Re: Official Redskins Off-season News and Rumors - Part Quatre
 

Honestly I appreciate the post. Basically because of all the statiscal data HTTR brought to the table.

Most of us know it, but even I was somewhat shocked to see that 50 of 120 rushes were off of broken plays. I knew it was high but that is great data to have. Thanks for the post.

Re: Official Redskins Off-season News and Rumors - Part Quatre
 

Also it was a cool side note that in the first nine games we ran it 50 times and over the seven game winning streak only 20. That shows that the offense was already evolving at the end of last year.
