Re: RG3 impresses on first day of practice with Redskins vets

Just read the Keim article Matty posted. here are a couple quotes that have me salivating for next year:

Quote:
Not that Rex Grossman threw lollipops, but Griffin is much faster and throws a faster ball. He had one throw Monday to Niles Paul where you could hear it hum as it arrived. Griffin’s traits will give the offense a faster tempo.

"It’s a total difference when he’s out there running on the play-action,” Davis said. “He gets out so fast. He sees the whole field. He can make throws other quarterbacks couldn’t make. He gets out on the play action very fast. Very fast."
Five thoughts: Robert Griffin III | Washington Examiner

Every time I think I can't get any more pumped, I find out I am wrong. ... "you could hear it hum" Sweeeeet!!!!

yup and who doesnt like a good hummer? Finally going into a season with a franchise QB is going to the best feeling in a long, long time. Just think of the young core of weapons on offense coming up together...this is such a new thing for the Skins, if people cant get pumped about what we are building they are just dead.

Yeah and I love how Moss said today that RG3 at the end of the day is a Rookie and has a lot to learn... Santana Moss: Robert Griffin III has a lot to learn | ProFootballTalk

Re: RG3 impresses on first day of practice with Redskins vets

Two things:

Griffin says he is not in competition with Kirk Cousins because Griffin has already been named the starter.
Not sure if he's being smug or just factual to ward off stupid questions from reporters.

And in unrelated news, Griffin says he plans to make beignets for his offensive linemen. (Both Griffin's parents are from New Orleans.) In related news to the unrelated news, beignets are awesome.

Im pretty sure there is a thread thats titled "RGIII Named Starter", or something there abouts. Howd you miss that?

Ive never heard of a beignet before. Is it basically a fancy donut?

A beignet is a New Orleans snack which consists of a fried dough ball smothered in confectioners' sugar. Alvin is correct, they are yummy.

Just like "the greaseman" used to say, packed by a packer. The adventures of "Fudgeman and Throbbin".

See my first post. I know there would be others in between. That's why I said if there weren't right next to each other.

Here's the interview



And maybe you missed the part where Shanahan said RGIII is the starter
