lanceman_1 Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 It's paloff time and if he can lose the brace lose it says I. We could be one and done and if we have an advatage and I think we will without the brace it's gotta go. You can't always worry because injury can happen anytime.

The Caretaker Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 It's the brace, Grant Paulson was on the radio this morning saying that it is mostly the brace causing the limp. He also made a interesting comment saying that players at skill positions don't really ever wear heavy duty braces like the one Griffin is wearing, which is a good point, how often do you see a reciever or RB wear anything like that? Someone mentioned that he was practicing with a sleeve the other day? Honestly I want to see the brace off, replaced with a smaller one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zCommander Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Did they really? Interesting, is there a story about it somewhere? Or was it talked about on the Redskins show on comcast? Heard it on the radio - ESPN 980. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrepDC Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Is too much being made of the 2 or 3 bad throws Griffin threw in the Dallas game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenspandan Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Is too much being made of the 2 or 3 bad throws Griffin threw in the Dallas game? when you only throw 18 passes, yeah, 3 bad throws makes a big difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrandonJ83 Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 RGIII can play at a limited level when we have TRUE Beast mode behind him named Alfred Morris. They aren't really giving Morris a lot of props going into this game and they want to harp on RGIIIs knee in all breakdowns i've heard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiverboatGambler Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Ill take 2 or 3 bad throws over 2 or 3 dumbass throws like Romo sits to pee threw that get intercepted. When Rg3 misses it is usually where no one can get to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2cents Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 when you only throw 18 passes, yeah, 3 bad throws makes a big difference. I know its easy to forget....but he IS human. I think...that cylon talk from draft time still has me wondering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emor09 Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 His passing worried me against Dallas, a lot. It hurts me to say it, but the bullets into the ground reminded me of McNabb. Maybe he was throwing away from coverage because Dallas had everyone covered. I think he'll be better this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justice98 Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 They brought in and re-did the field with KY bluegrass this week. So the field is going to be not torn up. Hopefully. Brace gives the false impressions to the other team that he can't run that well... I call it a diversion. Hopefully his throws in the BIG game were just that - being a little nervous on the biggest stage of his life in his rookie year. Good, that field is a disgrace. And they couldn't have that for a playoff game. The league should've stepped in if the team didn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

illone Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 But yeah. It worries me a lot. He's hasn't looked right throwing the ball since Baltimore. He threw it well vs Eagles the week before dallass week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BDOG510 Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Looked like that one pass into the dirty just came out his hand funny. Not on purpose. You guys gotta remember RG is from TX and probably hasn't played in alot cold weather. It was COLD Sunday night... perhaps those dirt dobbers he threw vs Dallas were due to cold hands??? I hope so.

CRobi21 Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 LL said he is hearing that Rob will be wearing a samller brace this week, if at all. Good news. Im in the camp the believes its the brace that is limiting his mobility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cold hands effecting him won't be good for an open air home field and the many more late season postseason games In the future As much as I would hate for him to lose the swag points, he has to wear another sleeve on his right arm. Otherwise it's gonna be hard for him to grip the ball in freezing temperatures again. Hopefully he wears the white one on his left arm and puts a burgundy/gold one on his right.

He should at least wear a pouch, and maybe stick a fresh hot pack in there for every series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wshngtn1 Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 I know he's our man of steel but maybe our 22 year old savior had a few bad throws because he was a little nervous on Sunday. God knows I couldn't have thrown my dog's toy down the hallway with the knots I had in my stomach. The biggest game of his life on national TV piggy backing a city and a franchise. Though I am concerned we couldn't end that game with a 6-8 minutes drive (with having two chances to do so). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emor09 Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Looked like that one pass into the dirty just came out his hand funny. Not on purpose. Yeah, I think you're right. On "SoundFX" he grunted when he threw it, almost wishing he could have it back immediately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
