Redskins email report: More RG3 talk; Rabach update | Washington Examiner

Quote:
Detmer also echoed what others have said: Griffin's presence (and Andrew Luck for that matter) will help in the run game. He'll also face a more reserved rush than other quarterbacks. What about the transition to taking snaps from under center rather than shotgun? Not a big deal Detmer said.

Wait, a Rabach update? He better not come back. Doesn't sound like he'll play again anywhere with his health still not back after a year off, but the thought scares me.

Cutting him was the best move we made last season.

Kyle should give pieces of the playbook to Terry Shea, if he hasn't already.

Re: Griffin's impact on the off-season FA/draft

I wonder if both the Colts and Redskins have talked and have said, "OK, we're taking Luck, you're taking Griffin. Right? Right." That way both teams can start prepping...

it would be nice if the colts were that thoughtful. it's no sweat off their sacks either way, but why would they?

There isnt really a benefit to them. Negligable as it is, if we're a little worried that we may not get our guy, than we focus less on the later rounds.

I hope so. I mean they're at the point where all the evidence is at the table, and they probably should've been able to come to a conclusion by now. Contract shouldn't even be a problem with the rookie wage scale, so all the talk about using RG3 as leverage shouldn't be as big a deal because the difference between paying the two should be minimal, if there is a difference at all.

I've been hearing small talk that Jim Irsay knows which qb he's taking, that he's been selling the Colts fanbase on the idea of Luck for a long time now, and if that's the case then all the talk he's putting out about being undecided is just hogwash. In all honesty if I were going to put money on it I think by now the Colts would've told the Redskins which guy they're taking, which in all inevitability will probably be Luck.

We're not going to get nailed by Goodell for tampering with the draft or some crock of a charge for this, are we?

There's no tampering going on. Teams are allowed to visit with players before the draft.

Re: Griffin's impact on the off-season FA/draft

The more I think about Kyle going down to Waco the more I like it.
Are there rules against Kyle sitting down with Art Briles?
If I was Kyle I would let Briles explain their offense in detail and exchange information about concepts form Baylor's offense that he can add to his offense.

Re: Griffin's impact on the off-season FA/draft

One thing I would expect this year is for the offense to work a lot faster. I don't think it will be a lot different from a scheme/play perspective, but I think they can get in and out of the huddle a heck of a lot faster and put pressure on defenses that way.

We can only hope.
It was very frustrating at times watching game time mismanagement.
From tempo, to the QB waiting for the playcall, to the slow paced 'hurry up' etc.

Back in the day, the Buffalo Bills no huddle offense would paralyze defenses. They ran this offense unlike any other team in the NFL. This was a big reason why they went to 4 straight Super Bowls in 1990, 1991, 1992, and 1993. They could exploit weaknesses in defenses simply because the defenses didn't and couldn't get the correct personnel on the field to challenge what Buffalo was doing on offense due to their lining up quickly after a play had just ended. I remember it was fun to watch.
