A play in the NFL is designed to keep the QB upright. The nature of the game doesn't always allow that to happen, however a responsible offensive coach doesn't design plays where the DE or OLB is going to place his helmet squarely in the franchise QB's chest 5 or 6 times a game. That option play in December in the Meadowlands on that turf will be the demise of R. Griffin. If the Shanahans would treat the kid as if he just cast them 2 #1 picks and a #2 they wouldn't design 6 to 8 runs a game, he'll run when plays break down, or as a gadget play on occasion, but what we are seeing is irresponsible and career threatening. Youth and toughness is no reason to invite injury.

Im just curious.. Who made this rule? I enjoy our offense and it works. This is football and RG3 hasnt showed any signs of getting slowed down. People are umder this care bear misconception that the league has put them in. Cant hit the QB in the head, you cant go low, you cant hit him a second late, etc etc...

RG3 is going to be fine, he runs smart and hes actually helped us get a few 15days yarders just from defense frustrations trying to stop him. If he gets hurt, then he gets hurt. He enjoys the offense and is confident. We are finally scoring points and i can finally watch every series because i know im not going to just miss another 3 n out.
