You know if Robinson woulda come down in bounds, how different the media narrative woulda been this week?

what ive heard in camp is Rg3 timing has been off with his recievers and his rhythm isnt down yet. Thats just natural adapting to the system.

Im glad Colt and Kirk have played well behind him as well. But what bothers me is the media instance trolling of Kirk vs RG3 comparison. Thats yellow journalism...if you want to call it journalism.

If Griffin comes out against Houston, has 250 to 300 yards, a couple td's, has a few back breaking runs for 40-50 yards, then backs that up against another bad team, then all the Cousins talk will go away. That will give him some early confidence to get going early. That's what he was drafted to do and he needs to start doing it against two bad teams with bad QB's. We can't wait around all season for him to grow into the job. The time to perform is now as everything is in place for him to have a great year. Other young QB's are doing it so he should too.

Ill take the win, with RG3 playing an error free game. But if we win and the special teams has 2 kick returns for td and 3-3 field goals, then im gonna get extremely excited.

As Redskins fans, we've been dealing with sub par quarterback play for the better part of 24 years. If all it takes is one more season for him to become whatever the definition of an elite pocket passer is, I think we'll survive as a fanbase.

I agree some level of patience is needed when talking about a 3rd yr QB learning a new offense. I'd actually say he's in year 2.5 due to the lack of a true offseason for him last year. That said I do expect him to play well this year and at a level high enough where he can be a difference maker.

I think the giants may have made some.key defensive acquisitions sneakily... if eli plays better they could be competitors for the division. .

Definitely. I think both the Giants and Eagles will be better this year, while the Cowboys fall back to around 3-6 wins. JPP healthy will help the Giants a lot, as will a better run game and a more passer-friendly scheme. The Eagles will regress a little on offense, but I think their defense will be better. NFC East predictions as of now? Eagles, Giants/Redskins, then Cowboys. We could easily take the division if RG plays well and a few other things happen.

Orlando Scandrick of Dallas Cowboys suspended four games for performance-enhancing drugs - ESPN Dallas

the report is that his ex-girlfriend put some molly in his drink. molly is the powder form of extacy but it is subject to be cut with a filler each time it passes from a big drug dealer to a littler one. just like coke, the user is at the whim of whatever the drug dealer feels like cutting it with - exlax, ibuprofren etc.

his agent makes a good point but i dont understand one thing about it.

I believe the penalty for a 1st time substance abuse offender is eval/treatment as well as add'l testing but no suspension.

He says if HGH testing was in place, his client would be subject to the substance abuse program and not the PED discipline which requires a 4 game suspension.

two things:

1 - why would HGH testing cover and/or alter the discipline for molly?
2 - why isnt molly finding covered under the substance abuse? im guessing he tested positive for a banned PED substance but he is trying to say it must have been something thrown into the molly? not buying it from what little i know.

shouldnt he also be subject to the substance abuse program as well? im guessing he is as well but that is non-discliosure

Amphetamines, not “Molly,” ensnared Scandrick | ProFootballTalk

Even though it is a pointless preseason game, I hope that our defense destroys the Cleveland offense so badly that the Browns franchise disbands in shame. F(*k Kyle.

yeah i just read an ESPn article as well stating the same ..

While MDMA alone would be considered a drug of abuse but would not subject Scandrick to suspension as a first-time positive test, the drug sometimes contains amphetamine components, which fall under the league's PED policy and led to Scandrick's punishment.

----------------------------

if he truly did try some molly and didnt take a PED for the purpose of training, that is tough situation to be in.

double whammy - he is probably a 1st time substance abuse offender as well and has to begin that program
