They don't know much biology? I believe they know that 1 and 1 makes 2, however.

And if RGIII lights it up, what a wonderful world it would be.

I saw jerry garcia band sing that song a couple of times. Now back to your regularly scheduled program.

Re: RG3 is back
 

Agreed. Go RGIII. I hope he lays waste to the Vikes. End of controversy.

Re: RG3 is back
 

Whats everyone's expectations of RG3 for the Vikings game?

Got a feeling its gonna be a vanilla passing game built around easy throws to get confidence and some sort of rhythm. I imagine it will be alot of mass protect, and dink and dunking throws. WR screens, short passing game.

Not gonna be an easy game at all.

I sure hope it's not dink n dunk,I was so tired of that in the Houston game
Cousins and Colt have both been able to complete long passes to Jackson and have them right on the money,I want to see that out of Griffin,I NEED to see that out of Griffin

I want to see Griffin and the offense moving the ball, converting 3rd downs, and putting points on the board. I don't know why people are so obsessed with the deep ball.

I also want to see Morris running the ball more. Hopefully he can get his magic back with RG3 at QB.

Yes I would like to see that also, but they probably go hand-in-hand

RG3 is back
 

If Colt Mccoy can shake off the rust after three years against Dallas than I expect Griff to be able to do the same against Minnesota.
The main thing I want to see is Griff playing smart. Throw the ball away if you have to, go through your progressions. Also I want to see some accuracy and good mechanics.
Minnesota has a better pass d than run, so I expect to see a heavy dose of Almo.

Re: RG3 is back
 

I want to see every play be a deep pass, even runs, they've got to show they can do that.

Re: RG3 is back
 

Why are people acting like McCoy was throwing deep bombs left and right?

Re: RG3 is back
 

I understand it was the gameplan against Houston to throw the short stuff.Still,we didnt sign Jackson for the short stuff.RG3 has probably had the most practice time with Jackson,Colt had practically none.The other 2 qb's have had no problem hitting Jackson on longer throws,RG3 has no excuses for not being able to complete some deep balls to Jackson,unless of course his line is not giving him time to throw.But Griff can be indecisive and late on his reads and throws

Most important is RG3 leading scoring drives and converting 3rd downs. Leading the offense in general

I remember RG3 hitting Jackson on a deep ball against Jacksonville, which was ruled (erroneously) as a drop.

Re: RG3 is back
 

Got to go deep to DJax a couple of times. Nobody can cover him and he catches everything.

I live for those bombs to DJax, so don't dink and dunk me, Gruden!

I truly want to see the Skins to put up over 50 points against the Vikes. I just want the Skins to stomp somebody to release the frustration of all the losing we've endured in the last season and a half.

Optimism is starting to creep in to my mind again. I'm fantasizing about three wins in a row then a nice bye week of feeling good about the Skins followed by a ruthless pasting of Tampa Bay for our fourth win in a row. That would be so sweet!

Re: RG3 is back
 

Griff has played well against min in his previous 2 games. Isn't this 3 straight vs min? That's odd but anyway we should win

Now that you bring that up I remember that now also, and that's great
I think you may have misunderstood me about McCoy
I know he wasn't bombs away but when given the opportunity to throw deep to Jackson the balls were completed
I wish I had a way to look up the success rate of Kirk and Colt throwing deep to Jackson,I know that's not the case but it seem like it was 100% either by completion or pass interference
I am fine with the short stuff so long as it's getting us first downs and scoring points, that wasn't the case in the Houston game.
Colt was able to come in with very little practice time and complete the throws to Jackson in crunch time against a superior opponent,does that mean I want Colt to start? No that's not what it means
What it does mean is I expect my first string franchise quarterback to be able to come into the game and complete those passes against a bad team like Minnesota

Yeah that's what I said earlier but I read today it's actually five straight years against Minnesota

Re: RG3 is back
 

The team has wised up and played his medical situation very close to the vest.

Didn't that happen against Jacksonville?

Re: RG3 is back
 

I don't care whether we long ball or dink-and-dunk as long as we WIN.

I support a mix of approaches: dink-and-dunk (to help Gryphon with his confidence) plus a few long balls to keep the defense honest.

BTW someone said we didn't sign DJax to catch short passes, when in fact we did. We signed him not just to catch bombs but also to turn short passes into long gainers through YAC.

Agreed. They have a good pass defense / rush, so quick passes / screens initially for a rusty QB coming off an injury would be great. Would love to rely on our running game if it ever gains more than 2 yards a carry for the majority of rushes..


My real fear is that if the rush gets to him & everyone is covered --> that he starts to take off & run again, and get hurt. D.Hall just reinjured himself, and I just hope RG3 can finally keep himself healthy for -- years at a time.

Re: RG3 is back
 

excited to see griffin on sunday.

i hope my faith is not misplaced. i hope he goes out there and blows out the vikings.

i also hope haslett has learned something from monday night. meriweather plays better in the box. the corners play better challenging the receivers. the defense needs the blitz to get pressure and it needs pressure to be successful.

would also be nice to see the special teams play like they're competent.

Re: RG3 is back
 

Minnesota has given up a lot of pressure to just 4 man rushes, so I won't expect another blitz happy game. Haz said last week was a little over the top.

oh great. so exactly what i feared.

haslett will spend the next 8 games thinking he can go back to generating a rush with 4 guys, playing our corners off 10 yards every play, and having our lbs drop into zone coverage over the middle.

because of the first 8 games that worked great more often than not.

You can't keep up blitzing that much, sooner or later you get burned. It worked one game, doesn't mean it should be a season long plan.

You are right, that was fun! But Matty is right, too - if we do it all the time, folks will scheme against it.

I look forward to seeing it again in the playoffs.

He's a dickhead. Always will be. That said, he isn't the problem with what's wrong with the team. I mean ultimately he is, but he's not responsible for the product on the field currently.


[quote=SmootSmack;1092211]If Griffin shows that he's not ready on Sunday, it will be disastrous for the organization. Could be a franchise altering loss[/quote]

That's a pretty bold statement. Alter it how? Even if RGIII career flames out, I doubt it'll alter the franchise for the most part. Well, no more than it was altered by giving away all those picks to St. Louis. That altered this franchise more than anything in my opinion.

I agree. You do not play all teams the same. Dallas' top WR is a big powerful receiver that is not a super speed WR. In fact none of dallas' WR's are feared speed guys that would give our physical CB's a problem.
So playing tight man AND BLITZING is easier against a team like Dallas.

Re: RG3 is back
 

True enough. One bail out pass to a hot read and Haslett goes from D-Genius to Village idiot
BUT....it was a thing of beauty!

He has to comeback and play at sometime. If he's healthy, then play him.
