Skinz4Life12 Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 i believe if he passes his tests today and gets in his light workout without ANY symptoms or setbacks and is cleared to practice, that he will play on Sunday. if i was a betting man, i'd say he will be out there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkRascadizzle Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 He'll get 423 yards next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaskinsfan Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 We do want this kid around for a while right? When you don't know either the quarter or the score, it's a sign your brain took a really strong shot. 1 week is not enough, he should sit out this week's game and see how he feels for the next week. I know Shanny is facing the potential of a hot seat, but RG3 should be shut down this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newday Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 Let the guy rest for one more game. It will have 2 benefits. i) Health -- obvious ii) Teaching point -- he's remember to slide. His rash decision to run on that play cost the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CTskins Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 Totally agree. I'd rather lose the next 5 games without RGIII if sitting him means he gets and stays healthy. Provided he passes the battery of concussion tests, he will 100% play. They will not hold him out just to be cautious unless he fails those tests.

redskindan07 Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 Yes I think he will play. Over 300 yards and 2 TD's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDane Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 He will play and he will throw for 600 yards and run for another 200. Redskins win, 83-0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orlskinsfan Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 if he sat after passing the tests i would be disappointed. he needs all the reps he can get at this stage in his career. I will learn from this and either go out of bounds or slide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know Shanny is facing the potential of a hot seat, but RG3 should be shut down this week. I am not a doctor much less a neurosurgeon but as I understand it if he passes the tests and scans it means he is not suffering any lasting effects from the concussion and is a safe to play this week as he would be in 2 weeks or 2 months. If he fails the tests - or is even borderline - he will sit, if he passes he is healthy and will play. I must have missed all the threads about holding Josh WIlson and Aldrick Robinson out the week after they suffered concussions ........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BRAVEONTHEWARPATH93 Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 A lot of misinformation and paranoia in this thread He never blacked out. Shanny said so in the conference. If he's 100%, he is playing. Just because ppl on here count this as a throwaway year, doesn't mean Shanny does Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he's 100%, he is playing. Just because ppl on here count this as a throwaway year, doesn't mean Shanny does if the defense can play better (like on Sunday) this season is not over just yet. the cowboys play the ravens this week, the eagles play the lions, and the giants play the 49ers. If we can win against the vikings and go 3-3, i'd say there is a pretty good chance that two of the other teams in our division lose this week putting us in the thick of things Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warhead36 Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 It's easy for us to say "oh this year doesn't count, blah blah blah," but the fact is as of now we're 2-3 and one game back of the division. While you're playing meaningful games, you play to win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrypticVillain Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 Instead of saying this year doesn't count, I look at it as more of a "bonus year". Whatever happens happens. If we go to the playoffs, great. If not, I won't even be mad. Already, I am satisfied this year. Team is getting better. That's all I can ask for... *That doesn't mean I don't get pissed when we lose. It still ruins my Mondays :doh: I think Griffin will play. I know all concussions are different, but if Robinson can play after being knocked out, I don't see why it would be unreasonable for Griffin to play when he wasn't knocked out.

RonArtest15 Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 I would prefer that we sat Griffin out until 2015 at the earliest. C'mon guys...if he passes the tests this week and is deemed ready to go, let it be. Some of you guys are something else. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BornToHail Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 Considering how careful they have been with RG3, I highly doubt that if there's any shred of remaining symptoms that they'll let him play. That said, it seems everyone's agreed that he's okay and he'll most likely take the field on Sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stugein Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 I'd be shocked if he didn't suit up this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lombardi's_kid_brother Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 If he is cleared by the doctors and does well in practice then play him. The doctors know best. Doctors never make mistakes with these things. Just ask Sydney Crosby. Of course, if you ask him, you may need to ask him again. If this was RGIII's third year and we were 4-1, I would be fine with playing him if he passed the tests. This being year one and us being a 2-3 team makes me wonder what the rush is...... ---------- Post added October-9th-2012 at 12:19 PM ---------- Considering how careful they have been with RG3 Wait...what?!?!?!?! They've exposed him to more hits than a welterweight..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lvredfan Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 He plays and learns a big lesson how to slide this isnt mike vick now he is a smart guy and i bet his dad got on him also he has so much support around him and in his ear he will learn really fast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaskinsfan Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 They need to REST Him. I get it; its exciting to watch him play and he clearly gives us the best chance to win. If it's late in the season and we are making a playoff push, then fine play him if he passes the tests. But we're not there. We're just not. Looking at the schedule we have 3-5 more wins in us max. So give Cousins the ball, let Rex backup. I would give it 2-3 weeks min. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
