Latest contribution to SB Nation DC on the Great Stras Debate and RGIII did not Suck.... http://fb.me/1xqVNoqmH

For Starters, RGIII Did Not Stink

OK, let's get this out of the way. It is just preseason, with a small sample size. All that aside, Robert Griffin III looked like the real deal in week one of the preseason against the Buffalo Bills last week.

He was comfortable in the pocket and in control of the offense. He did not play too fast like lots of rookies tend to do. He was able to make his reads and deliver the ball. He showed off his strong arm. He also seems to have good chemistry already with prized free agent wide receiver Pierre Garcon.

The other big plus from the Bills game was that he never got hit. The Redskins' patchwork offensive line kept him clean. As a matter of fact, RGIII admitted this week he has not been tackled since Baylor's bowl game last year.

Sooner or later, RGIII will have to run, get tackled, and yes, even sacked. He knows this and yes, the Redskins coaches are well aware of it, too. They would just prefer it does not happen until the games start to count.

How Reliable is Fred Davis as a Run Blocker? (Via @UkRedskin1) http://sbn.to/PfXeSM

Sitting on top of the Redskins tight end depth chart currently is Fred Davis. Now we all know how much of a weapon Fred is when he's running routes. But his run blocking has always been suspect. There were reports that he had been working on his run blocking in the offseason, so I went back and watched over the run plays when it was first team offense against first team defense. Unfortunately, the results weren't great for the Redskins

Redskins Confidential >> Redskins email report: Morris’ lessons learned buzztap.com/-72c9Bv

Redskins

Shanahan says weight loss plan for Baker was specific to him, not a general policy. "I'd take a 500 lb nose tackle if he can move."

Redskins

Shanahan confirms that Darius Hanks had a serious injury that required shoulder, elbow, sternum, clavicle surgery. 6-7 month recovery.

Redskins

Shanahan says secondary coach Raheem Morris has been a great asset as a former HC: "He'll get another opportunity someday and he should."

Fox Sports: Redskins going max protect on Griffin

“He doesn’t have to worry about making a mistake,” Lichtensteiger told FOXSports.com. “He can be aggressive. He won’t have it in the back of his mind that one mistake will get him pulled. Not saying that was the case last year, but there was a certain element of that. I think knowing you have the confidence of the coach and your teammates means a lot.”

Added Redskins linebacker Brian Orakpo: “You kind of got rid of the riffraff. Robert is our guy. There is no back-and-forth stuff. We are going to go with him. He’s going to be a great leader.”

[...]“He wants to learn and he has the ability to do so,” Redskins fullback Darrel Young told FOXSports.com. “You set yourself up for success. He’s a great character guy, and he does his homework. Guys appreciate that. He’s got the foundation. Sure, people say he’s a rookie, but he’s not a rookie to us anymore. He’s a veteran and has to think like that. He’s the one calling the shots.”

That didn’t mean Griffin got a pass on rookie hazing rituals. Orakpo wouldn’t say what exactly those were, but it often involves female clothing and other means of embarrassment.

“He accepted it,” Orakpo said. “It’s a humbling experience. They all have to do it.”

Griffin’s arrival has also induced a sort of amnesia at Redskins Park.

“Nobody is talking about the five wins we had last year,” Young said. “I haven’t heard that once. The focus now is on how good we can be and how good we will be.”

[...]“Not personality wise, but when he throws a pass he does something with his hands,” Redskins tight end Niles Paul said when FOXSports.com asked to levy some criticism of Griffin. “He always does some little, twitchy thing afterwards on every throw. It’s funny. Every time we see it on film, we start laughing.”

I hate to make lite of this, but Chris Wilson needs to step up BIG this weekend and continue to play well. I heard Kehl played a little OLB yesterday as well.

what ever this means?

Zac Boyer ‏@ZacBoyer

#Redskins' Jammal Brown was in locker room. "I can't talk," he said. Would you like to? "It don't matter if I can't chat."

Interesting. I was a huge fan of the trade... but haven't been a huge fan of his at all as a player. I wouldn't be upset to see him leave...

Seems like Kehl has made some big plays as well. Its not first team or anything but i kept saying to myself where in the world is this guy coming from. Yes Wilson needs to step up, but Kehl has been surprising a little if you know what I mean. Someones go to step up with Whie gone

There was a Jammal Brown sighting in the locker room at #Redskins Park. Declined to comment on hip or anything else, really.
