The Special Teams was again striving for worst in league history; again until Dallas.

If we're to have a season all 3 phases of the team need to be on the ball. That includes Griffin. Seasons change on a whim. Momentum is a bitch. We may finally have some good momentum for the first time this year.




To me, when a coach says the guy is ready, that means:
He's medically cleared and not at risk to injure himself
He's physically good, movement/mechanics are not going to be limited
He's got enough reps with the offense to be on the same page as them
In Griffin's case, due to his age and possition, I'd add: He's not in a state where he's likely to revert to bad habits/mechanics or someone stunt his growth (or even damage it) as a young quarterback.

So if he's ready. He's ready. If he's not ready and Gruden says he's ready, then we have a problem at the HC position.

I think Gruden is saying that right now for Griffin:

"He's medically cleared and not at risk to injure himself
He's physically good, movement/mechanics are not going to be limited"

But maybe not that:
"He's got enough reps with the offense to be on the same page as them"

And I think some of the concern is that he hasn't mastered his mechanics, and or gotten rid of bad habits.

So, what I'm getting is that you, like everyone else, dont think RG3 should start unless he is fully prepared. So, I'm not sure where the disagreement is.
