Id personally like to see RGIII in as long as possible. For the first pre-season game i would even consider the entire game.

But back to the topic:

Im pretty big on ice cream and milk shakes. I currently have either 4 or 5 cartons in my freezer (will post pic if i have to). I like to keep both French Vanilla and Vanilla Bean in stock at all times. I dont really care for regular, creamy or extra vanilla. Although i do like to somtimes add vanilla extract to my milkshakes. And while vanilla is my faviort flavor its anything but a vanilla vanilla, as i like to put tons of shit on it. Ranbow sprinkles, jimmies, red sugar spinkles, hot fudge, magic shell and crumbled up cookies.

No twitter for me but I could see a coach hold Griffin out as a result of oline injuries during an early preseason game. Admittedly, it's unconventional, but a risk/reward debate could come down on the side of caution. Devil's advocate: if the oline is abysmal Thursday night, missing regular assignments, AND RGIII is injured because of those missed assignments, it could cost us reg season games. Maybe you focus on smoothing out the oline and have Griffen play more in games 2 and 3?

Vanilla. Let's not kid ourselves that we were good last season at 5-11. And with the new guys we really need to work on the basics.

Who cares about "winning" a preseason game anyways?

Ive always thought with rookie QBs and newly aquired young QBs should be given them as much time as possible in the preseason, espicially early on.

Injuries happen to QBs and to the Oline, thats just the way it is. And if the oline is abysmal right now it will probably be just as bad or worse during certain parts of the season. But since the preseason dosnt mean anything we could go "extra vanilla" early in the game while the Bill's defensive starters are on the field with a focus on protecting RGIII. Theres always something to practice even if we play it cautiously. If we do that id like to see RIII and the oline starters stay in later into the game as the defensive talent drops off.

I agree. He needs to play and play a lot.

I honestly would prefer Griffen to play 3+ quarters as long as the same was true for the starters on the oline. Maybe that breaks some sort of NFL etiquette though.
