Truant Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 Well which one is it? Either he's holding on to the ball trying to make a decision, or he's skittish and is looking to leave the pocket quickly. cant have it both ways. Skittish, in this sense, could refer to being reluctant to air out the ball, i.e. holding onto it too well. Two synonyms of skittish are shy and uncertain. ---------- Post added August-3rd-2012 at 07:56 PM ---------- Has anyone heard anything about the guy who went M.I.A.(can't remember his name, sorry)? Kentwan Balmer or something like that. I could search for his name but I don't think that he'll matter much at all going forward. He pulled a similar stunt in San Fran years ago. This is probably his unofficial retirement. He'll probably try to come back for a paycheck in a couple of years, ala Eddie Kennison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TD_washingtonredskins Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 I fully expect Griffin to struggle at times, possibly even more often than he excels. I'm just happy that we're finally not racing against the clock to build a contending team. Almost every key member of our offense is extremely young. If we build incrementally the way Detroit has, that's fine. We don't have win in the next two years because our tackles are old or our FA QB is old or our RB might wear down.

MW got home ------------------------------------------ Chris Russell@Russellmania980 Signal still sucks out here, but RG3 has been mostly sharp, with some beautiful passes to Hank, Garcon, and Moss.

Tsoe Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 Theres talk of RG3 showing some "holding on to the ball" tendencies. Lets hope that its just jitters and lack of familiarity with the offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lets hope that its just jitters and lack of familiarity with the offense. Personally.. i think it's a current delay of him trying to decide whether to throw the ball or run.... i think with time this delay will become an instinct.

Zzj Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 Theres talk of RG3 showing some "holding on to the ball" tendencies. Lets hope that its just jitters and lack of familiarity with the offense. This has gotten a little blown out of proportion. It stems from a John Keim practice report article. Here's another quote from that article: “The first step is having a good feel for the timing of the routes and where to go with the ball against certain coverages,” quarterback Rex Grossman said. “His natural football instincts will take care of the things we’re seeing. That’s more important than getting the ball out of his hands quickly… Some days the coaches say we want you to still go through your reads, don’t worry about getting sacked because we want you to have the rep.” It seems to me that the “holding onto the ball too long” thing is more by design than anything else. It’s hard to tell what coaches are trying to emphasize on any particular drill, so until I see this issue pop up in an actual game, I don’t think it’s a real point of concern.

We also have to accept the fact that what he did in college was peanuts compared to the type of offense he has to learn here. Its well recorded that his system in college was pretty simple, especially compared to Luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its well recorded that his system in college was pretty simple, especially compared to Luck. Actually, its more about the defenses he faced. In college, the pre snap look of the defense gives you lots of information (many times it almost screams at you who is going to be open). In the pros, defenses can give you pre snap looks that give you a lot less information until you figure them out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

acuratl1984 Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 no idea. I haven't been hearing much about him I think tweets going around is that he doesnt look as good as he did last training camp.

It will probably take a bit of time for him to trust what his knee can handy. I saw a quote that said he was solid but not a standout. The guy that seems to be turning heads a la Jenkins last year is Chris Baker, apparently. He's a DE/NT who has shown up in nearly every practice report I've seen as doing something great.
