RGIII has been cleared for practice

[skinsfaninok]

U never can say any game is a for sure win, to say we don't need our best player against Philadelphia is definitely not right. How do u know the eagles won't be any better? We need Griffin 16 times this season. I'm a huge cousins fan too but he's No RG3.

[FRPLG]

He didn't bust his ass to sit out against the Eagles. Silly notion.

Tom Brady played in the pre season after he tore up his knee, and he was far more accomplished than RG3. Get him out there, let him get some game speed reps, knock some rust off and get him out.

Brady also tore his ACL in the very first game of the season, giving him an extra 4 months of rehab before the next preseason. Imo, its good that he is getting the extra month to let the knee get stronger. No reason to risk some second or third stringer from another team trying to make a name for himself do something stupid like diving into his knee to make a tackle.

That's true and a good point.

Could you imagine the uproar if he got injured again in a preseason game?

Given that his expected recovery time was 7-9 months, I just don't see any benefit to playing him in a meaningless game. What does he really have to gain by playing a series or two?

All we should be worried about is him being ready for the Eagles. That's it.

Right...a series or two is entirely useless. Unless they can get him enough reps to matter then there is no point. The speed of the game isn't going to be a problem for him. He's faster than everyone anyways. Plus we'll for sure not be running our eal offense so there isn't a good argument to be made to play him.

I absolutely believe the bolded part is true. Everything about Griffin's play seems like he is seeing the field in slow motion. That's one reason I don't believe the talk about read progressions. Maybe it's true, and obviously every qb needs to work on that part of the game all the time, but my gut feeling is that Griffin scans the field far better than even most of his supporters give him credit for.

All I know is I am so ready for a good QB controversy. It's not the Skins without one.

Light'em up Captain Kirk!!!

On a stroll down memory lane, isn't this what the Heath Shuler/Gus Frerotte draft was SUPPOSED to be, a sure fire #1 talent, and a 2nd string worthy of being first. It's like the Skins finally came out of the qb dive that was started in that draft many many year ago.

Excellent point.

Adam Carriker to undergo third surgery on right quadriceps tendon - Washington Times

Not good.

[Hog1]

If I had my wish, I would certainly play Robert in enough PreSeason to tune up in the "Game Speed" timing of the receivers and opposing defense (certainly good gains to be had in.....Rust removal)
........BUT
I would risk that and sit him as I would probably keep him out and not have a third stringer hustling for a full time gig to crush his blind side.....

[scowan]

As fans we want to see Griffin in August, because we are desparate for all things Football right now, but Shannahan will be doing right by RG3 if he doesn't take the field until September. Maybe, just Maybe one series in the 3rd preseason game at the beginning with the starting OL, but that would be it. Even that would be scary. I guess I'm more concerned with him having to wear a knee brace this year. He just doesnt look the same with those bulky things on.

Im.fine with what he thinks of preseason... all it remunds me of is Clintin Portis lol... i dont want him getting hurt and im confident practicing with the WRs and such is enough..
