[SmootSmack]

From what I've heard, Griff has a bit of a limp this morning but otherwise seems ok

I have had a strained MCL before, and the Doc told me that there was no risk of future damage just by working on it. That it would require a "new injury" for it to get worse. Is that true with LCL's as well? If so then its a pain tolerance issue. If the LCL can get worse by simply playing on it, then they need him to be fully healed before putting him back out there.

From what I heard RGIII was hopping on one leg and making cuts better then C Cooley.

A bit of a limp is pretty good considering we are almost at 72 hours removed from the injury and we still have around 96 hours before game time.

I don't know the answer to your question

LOL! Post of the week!

I have friends who are browns fans. I want RGIII to start so i can say the same thing i said to my Giants, Eagles, and Cowboys fans after those wins - "you just got Griffined! Get used to it." Of couse, i'd have to cut out the second part for the Browns fans... still, "you got griffined" sounds much better than "you got Cousined!"

Cleveland is ranked 23rd in total defense through 13 games this season. Whether RG3 starts or whether Kirk Cousins start, this is a game where our quarterback can have a bit of success. The Browns are simply not that good defensively. Add in the running of Alfred Morris and this Redskins offense can explode. I would rather Griffin III sit out this game and comeback healthier against Philadelphia. Cousins is capable of having a great game against this weak Cleveland Browns secondary.

Cleveland has a sneaky decent defense and has played well recently. Normally I'd say this was a classic trap game for us but with the RGKnee injury hopefully it has the team more focused on preparing.

I could seeing us winning by 14 even if Cousins starts. Team's playing with sky high confidence right now.

Cleveland has a very good offense, great OL 2 Pro-bowlers (Mack & Thomas), great RB Richardson, good QB in Weeden and some nice young receivers in Gordon, Little and TE Jordan, their D is not too shabby either. It's going to be a tough game.

It will be a tough game, though I think their receivers are okay. Earlier in the season they were dropping balls left and right. I'm more concerned about the Browns D.

Their very good offense is ranked 26th in total yardage, and putting up a whopping 19.9 pts a game.

RG3 seen jogging on the field before practice. No one so him plant or cut.

Also hearing, RG was doing leg lifts, stretches. shuffle steps. Had no visible leg brace over his sweat pants.
