#98QBKiller Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Nice story to read for his very first game NFL game. http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap1000000048055/article/robert-griffin-iii-poised-in-redskins-preseason-debut?module=HP11_headline_stack Robert Griffin III poised in Redskins preseason debutThe true beginning of the Robert Griffin III era in Washington doesn't happen until Sept. 9 at the Superdome, but Redskins fans got a taste of the quarterback's poise in Thursday's preseason opener. Griffin played the first three offensive series against the Buffalo Bills, finishing 4-of-6 passing for 70 yards and one touchdown. "It felt extremely good to come out (and play)," Griffin III told Rick "Doc" Walkeron on the Redskins Radio Network. "Coach did a good job calling plays, got me in rhythm and helped get the offense in rhythm on that third drive. And that's what it's all about. You don't always have to go out and try to put together the best scheme to the one play to the one route that's going to be wide open. Sometimes you have got to go out and out-execute the team." Griffin's final pass of the night was a slip screen to Pierre Garcon, who took it 20 yards before somersaulting into the end zone for a touchdown that capped an eight-play, 80-yard drive covering nearly four minutes. Griffin to Garcon will be a hook-up to watch. The former Indianapolis Colts receiver had three catches for 58 yards and the TD with RG3 in the game. Griffin looked cool and under control in his debut, giving way to Rex Grossman with 3:40 remaining in the first quarter and Washington leading 7-3. Redskins fans, feel free to stare at RG3's 145.8 passer rating with glorious wonderment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bacon Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 RG3 to Garcon absolutely did not disappoint. Pierre played like he had something to prove, and Griffin had it all together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brandymac27 Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 I thought he did an excellent job and handled himself extremely well. I can't wait to watch more of him and see just how great he's gonna be! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bifflog Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Calm in the pocket, eyes down-field making reads, and balls delivered on the mark. Looks like an actual QB to me . And not a scramble in sight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Sinister Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 My heart was racing so fast before his first snap. Anyone else? Yeah, me too. The adrenaline was flowing big time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TNSkinsFan Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 I enjoyed seeing RG3 make a lot quicker reads than I gave him credit for before the game. He def was not afraid and was accurate. His future is bright. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zCommander Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Who is "Doc" Walkeron? My thoughts exactly. But yeah that passer rating is making me salivate for the regular season to begin like tomorrow and not in a month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDTERPS27 Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 I was impressed with his footwork in the pocket. Tonight was definitely a nice teaser, I can't wait to see him run some of the more complex plays in the system come the regular season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhodatSkinsFan? Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 I love the check-downs & the audibles... I'm pleased. NOW, about 'The Replacements'. ---------- Post added August-9th-2012 at 10:27 PM ---------- Doc Walkerson - we have a new name! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renegade7 Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 This was my first time actually watching him live, and that touchdown drive he had where he didn't run at all said everything I needed to know. He earned my respect tonight, I forgot he was a mobile QB... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skins4ever17 Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Victory formation when we could have scored shows something. It shows that we still won the game without coming back. We didn't blow our lead once because of our superior defense. Not only that, it shows we have a genuine sportsmanlike team. I loved seeing shanny making players do push ups and chewing them out. This is a genuine winning, old school team. It's got heart, you can tell. The oline and secondary surprised me in good ways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mistertim Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 He showed exactly what I was hoping to see: poise, command of the offense, smart decisions, accuracy. One thing I really liked seeing was him looking off defenders a couple times on pass plays; rookies are much more prone to stare guys down and he didn't do that much. Did he audible? I must have missed that. Did he audible more than once? I only saw him do it once but it looked decisive and it seemed to work because they picked up a decent amount on the run if I remember correctly.

The Caretaker Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 But guys omg, his release was sooooooooo ****ing slow right, held on to the ball for way too long? He looked inaccurate and he looked like a "rookie" out there. **** you media. Well played RGIII, looked poised, confident, more so then some of the vets.
