Does The Redskins' Offensive Line Hate RG3? Check Out These GIFs And Decide For Yourself

I've brought up that same point in games last yr and was shot down.I would think theres no way they are not trying as hard as they can while the plays going on to block,but like the author says,not helping him up after he's gotten nailed is very concerning and to me says a lot.

Exactly!

As you mentioned, it does seems that the offensive line is blocking for RG3, or at least trying. The video GIFs in the linked article, however, seems to make it clear that the offensive line is not a big fan of RG3.

Personally, I played offensive line in high school. When I played, the senior quarterback on our team, was a 'team guy' and a natural leader, and everyone loved him. The junior quarterback, however, was a selfish jerk, and he was not well liked. I can tell you that the offensive line blocked for both quarterbacks, however just like in the GIFs, anytime the junior quarterback got knocked down, no one bothered to help him up.

So, as you said, the GIFs of RG3 no being helped up by the offensive line is very telling.

Obviously the oline is going to try and do their job. Their jobs are on the line. Maybe they arent helping him up because they are afraid they are going to break something.

The offense runs smoother with Kirk. If we want a true culture change we need to start putting the team needs in front of one player. And giving Robert the starting job with any completion isn't putting the team and the organization first.

Yes sir. I think before winning can happen here again on a regular basis, the full culture change needs to happen. We got half of it, a real GM...Finally!
Now we need Snyder to stop getting involved in the on field decisions. Let the coaches and GM handle that.
This RGIII situation of insisting he be the starter reminds of another similar redskins situation handled better in 1981 and that is Mark May.
Mark Mark our 1981 first round pick, #20 overall and Outland trophy winning, consensus 1st team All American can't miss guy. In camp Bugel and Gibbs notice he was a great run blocker but could not handle NFL speed rushers and was not looking good. So they benched him. But at the same time undrafted Free agents Joe Jacoby and Jeff Bostic get the start as well as 3rd rounder Russ Grimm and 11th round draft pick George Stark.
Mark May did not earn a starting position until 1982 and that was at guard. To cover up his deficiency of pass protection on the outside that he later overcame. JKC never got involved and the rest is history.
I think with Snyder and others insisting on starting a guy with out a competition in camp deflated the entire lockeroom.
Even if hypothetically you start KC now because he is more prepared for a Pro system then later switch to RGIII once he learns, like Mark May did, that would be fine.

So did that hit give him a concussion?

"I have no idea," Griffin said. "I just know I was in some pain, and the trainers came out, and that was it."

Griffin then insinuated that he could've stayed in the game.

"That's the coach's decision," Griffin said on why he was pulled from the game. "As we like to say, 'I just work here, man.'"

I had no problem with RG3s "i feel like im the best QB in the league" comment. I actually want him to feel that way. i also had no problem with his dad putting his arms up and pretending to be a rusher w RG3 after practice one day.


but this "as we like to say, i just work here" comment just annoys the shit out of me. its like he just wants to walk right up to the line of taking passive-aggressive comments at (i assume) gruden.

stop being a petulant little bitch mr. griffin. you shit stinks pretty bad. the "they want me to be ordinary" comment as well.

if i was gruden i would be banging my head into a brick wall. this dude just doesnt seem to get it. comes off as uncoachable, unwilling to truly embrace what he needs to embrace.

like desean said, "you cant do epic shit with basic people". your a basic person RG3 and your becoming whiny to boot.

i thought his motto this offseason was "speak less, do more" or something.

I guess you have to go back and watch a guy like Rogers and see if OL guys are falling over themselves to pick him up.

That is exactly how I felt when I saw that comment. Especially if he made it to the media or in a press conference type setting.
If that was one my employees that made that comment i would get rid of them regardless of who they are. Is that the face of the franchise making that comment? Wow.

I did a quick search on youtube for Aaron Rodgers getting sacked,and every one I found had his teammates quickly coming over to help him up.I stopped looking after finding 4 of them.

I believe Cousins will be starter by week 3. Just my gut feeling. He seems more confident and IMO it's just not going to work out with Griffin in dc.

Seems like they want cousins to earn it. Believe he's the QB2 this week. So obviously they liked what he did last week and this will be a good challenge since it's the dress rehearsal game.

I see kirk being the starter for the majority of this season.

Just my 2 cents

[rocnrik]

Maybe they should let some air out of the footballs and maybe some air out of Roberts head also at redskins park!
