Yeah but not liking your 2nd n 3rd string qb's is like not liking your punter. Who cares?
I would like to believe that everyone on the offensive side of the ball likes him enough to rally around him and play hard for him. They have to be able to get along to a point or that becomes a football problem. Like I said before the only feeling I get from Griff is a young kid that wants to succeed - has a strong work ethic. Been through alot in a short time. Just cant imagine what there isnt to like about him as a person in a football perspective? Hope it all goes away.

He was talking about Britt's ... but this looks like a rehash of the same information.

They brought Haz to run the Steelers defense. He has only shown it once against Dallas. Other than that it's been a bunch of non adjustments and misuse of talent. He has lost it.

Strong point made just now on 980 by Chris Russell and company. One thing not to be liked. That's not the issue. The issue is does the locker room universally respect RG3.

Not so sure

Not so sure

Respect meaning simply his ability to lead this team and be a great qb?

Yes

its not like every young QB has to earn it on the field.

Wow. Smoot what is your opinion? Do you think, based on what you have seen, that he will one day be able to live up to his pricetag?

I think they do. I mean if we are talking faith in a guy as the leader. Faith in his ability. Where else do you earn it?

[skinsfan69]

I think two guys that are not favs of Griffin are Moss and Garcon. I don't think those three are hanging out after practice.

[SFREDSKIN]

No talent on D? Skins got equal or better talent than the Cardinals, Todd Bowles is doing more with less in Arizona. Give Baker a chance, he could be our version of Bowles.

[JoeRedskin]

Yeah, I am not buying the "no talent on D" argument. Sure, we have talent holes - safety leaps to mind. However, we also have some solid young talent that has shown ability to make a difference or at least to be above average - Robinson, Amerson, Breeland, Kerrigan. In addition, we have lots of solid - not spectacular - guys some young, some not-so, that every team needs - Baker, Jenkins, Compton, Murphy.

Use what you have correctly, identify and play to their strengths, coach them up to be more diverse, etc.

Just not seeing any of that in Haz.

I don't know that he can here to be honest

The effed up thing about yesterday and the D is that Haz came out and said the blitzing was over the top against Dallas. Than against the team without Romo, Bryant and crew - against a poor offense with a rookie QB not only do we not bring the house, we dont even bring an overnight bag. This board was talking about it in the pregame thread. I thought the whole idea of dialing it back against the Vikings was bad and all week I hoped it wouldnt be the case. Typical Haz overthinking things. We never stick with what works. Ever.
