I agree 100 percent. Everyone is so worried about it. The doctors cleared him to play. He looks like he's ready to go. Let the kid take all the reps with the first team and let him get ready for the season. I'd put him out there the 3rd pre season game and let him play a half. Time to move on from the injury.

And when he gets injured in a meaningless exhibition game who gets the heat? Not skinsfan69...

I think this guy's good enough to play himself into game shape in games that count. Playing him just to get some rep's is just not worth it.

Totally agree.

For all the heat the team got just 6 months ago I find it hard to understand people that want to just toss him right back out there vs easing him back in. Crazy.

I can somewhat understand not letting him play pre season, even though I think that's a mistake. Everyone needs a few game reps. I mentioned before that Brady also played pre season after his injury, even though he hurt his knee in Sept the year before. But not even letting him do 11 on 11 in practice? C'mon. That 100% coddling.

imo you want to give it as much time as possible for the ligaments, tendons and muscle to re-strengthen and bond.

a slip or an awkward twist of the knee and who knows if it will hold.

i dont see any reason to rush him onto the field as i think this is being rushed anyway. let him take baby steps, let things settle. i dont even mind if he misses the first few games.

I'm with you, although I don't expect him to do any pre-season.

I feel RG3 will probably start the first regular season game, if not a couple games in.

Otherwise we best pad him in bubble wrap before we let him see the field again.

Lots of Chicken Littles around here.

Since when did letting him do cutting, among other things, so early after ACL surgery equate to wrapping him in bubble wrap?

He is doing a whole lot more than just about anyone else who has ever torn an ACL at this point in his recovery. Outside of AP, who else has torn an ACL in late Dec. or early Jan. and be on pace to start the season?

When did everyone on a forum learn more about ACL's than the guy who does the surgery and is considered one of the foremost experts on ACL recoveries?

Is that what I said? Because I'm pretty sure I said if he doesn't start after a few games into the regular season.

At that point I think we'd be playing afraid.

You are referring to the ones who say dont play him in preseason and 11 on 11's for the time being as chicken littles. None of us have said to sit him until 2015. Most of us have said the target is to be ready by the first game.

"To that end, Griffin feels he's ready to do more than he is allowed. During the portions of practice devoted to special teams, he goes to a separate field and runs through a scaled-down version of the plays he missed during the 11-on-11s. He said he did get a "little bump-up" in work during Monday morning's walkthrough, but he won't join the 11-on-11 drills in the main practice until next week at the earliest."
