FireChan Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Hope that RG3 makes a full recovery. He's exciting to watch and a classy guy too. Classy perhaps, but not tactful. A tactful guy wouldn't talk down to a veteran Romo like RG3 did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoSaint Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 what really makes that choice even worse is the serious injuries RG3 has had on the same knee previously. hes torn ligaments in it before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phlegm Alley Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 People are saying torn ACL and PCL. 14-18 month recovery time and 2013 is in jeopardy for RGIII. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoSaint Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 People are saying torn ACL and PCL. 14-18 month recovery time and 2013 is in jeopardy for RGIII. would be his second ACL tear in that knee already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fan in Chicago Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Dr. Andrews says RG3 was never cleared to re-enter game http://profootballta...-re-enter-game/ Even though this is about last month's game, yesterday it was obvious that RGIII was in pain. Especially when he scrambled to the left sideline for a first down, he was limping. Having seen him sprint and cut in earlier games this season, it was evident he is not the same physically. I was hoping that he had been cleared to continue playing but if I am the coach, I err on the safe side and take him out. The play when his knee sorta buckled was also cringe-inducing. It was apparent that it didnt take much to have that knee give out from under him. Aikman was also calling for Cousins in the 3rd quarter. Would have been a wise and safe choice.

RJ (not THAT RJ) Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Shanny cares more about Shanny. PTR Set and Match. Shanny was afraid to take RGIII out and figured he could shift any blame for his injury to the docs or to fate. I am no big fan of the ShanShan Man.

Is a 100% healthy Kirk Cousins a better choice then RGIII at 50 to 60%? Absolutely, if keeping RGIII in the game caused an aggravation of an injury that will prevent him playing a full season Shanny should be fired.

Latest update I saw is that there is "a difference of opinion" over whether the MRI shows any new damage vs. old changes. He's going back to Andrews tomorrow to seetle the issue.

syhuang Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 (edited) http://www.washingto...l-mri-suggests/ The MRI exam of Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III's right knee suggested that Griffin has suffered partial tears of his anterior cruciate and lateral collateral ligaments, according to several people with knowledge of the test results. Redskins Coach Mike Shanahan said Griffin is scheduled to be examined Tuesday in Pensacola, Fla., by orthopedic surgeon James Andrews to determine whether the test results show new or previous injuries. It was not immediately clear whether surgery would be required or how long Griffin would be sidelined if the partial ligament tears are determined to be fresh injuries. Griffin suffered a torn ACL in the same knee in 2009 while he was in college at Baylor, and has been playing in recent weeks with a mild sprain of the LCL. One person with knowledge of the situation said Griffin might have to undergo exploratory surgery to determine the extent of the damage and whether the injuries are new. Another said Griffin hopes to avoid full-blown reconstructive surgery if the tears are partial, even if they are new injuries. A third person familiar with the case, asked whether the ligament damage is new or a matter of previous injuries showing up on Griffin’s MRI, said: “That’s what we’re trying to find out.” Edited January 7, 2013 by syhuang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

papazoid Posted January 7, 2013 Author Share Posted January 7, 2013 it's very possible that washington LIED about the severity of his injuries from a month ago...... and that he was going to need surgery at the end of the season anyways..... "if" there were new injuries yesterday, that may or may not have changed the recovery time...... we surely haven't heard the end of this..... the player willingly wanting to "man up" provided the coach with enough wiggle room to put him in.....

reddogblitz Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 (edited) Is a 100% healthy Kirk Cousins a better choice then RGIII at 50 to 60%? Absolutely. This is what I was saying during the game. At what point do you say RG at 70% < Cousins? 60% < Cousins? It looked obvious to me that RG couldn't do jack squat running or passing. What's the point of leaving him in when Cousins has done well in relief? the bigger question though, is why not feed Morris. he only got 16 carries for 80 yards. Chanlike. With RG hurt, why not feed Morris and limit what RG does? Seemed to work vs Dallas. Seemed to be working on the first 2 drives. Maybe now is a good time for RG and Shanahan to consider him becoming a pocket passer? Edited January 7, 2013 by reddogblitz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
