SkinzFan007 Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Anyone have a link to where the medical staff said that RG3 was not at risk for reinjury? I know I remember hearing it all over the radio in recent weeks but not sure if theres anywhere online that supports it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justice98 Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 But the actual doctors DID say his knee was 100%I'm talking about the original LCL injury. They said the knee was 100% and it clearly wasn't. When did they say that? And then why would they force a brace on a 100% knee? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dnpmakkah Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 When he got hurt against the Ravens they did an MRI basically that night and we heard the reports of a grade I sprain right way. This time there is a delay, which implies more swelling probably and IMO that is not a good sign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HigSkin Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 I follow basically every Redskins reporter on Twitter. Their silence is killing me. Been a half hour since any of them said anything. Skins have asked all reports and communication to come thru Shanahan's PC at 3:00. This according to ESPN980 guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SonOfWashington Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 A person's ACL and PCL are generally controlled by someone's DNA. NFL players have good DNA helping the ACL and PCL, and also MCL and LCL. IDK, and YDKE, if its the LCL, MCL, PCL or ACL this time. ICYMI, no MRI on the LCL, PCL, ACL or MCL has been done yet. But, YOLO, so HTTR.:gus: This post basically sums up what ES will look like until 2014.I'm not ready for 3:00, guys. I'm just not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CapnRedskins Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Last night I said, "There's always next year." Now, I'm simply going to say, "There's always 2014." Because next year seems shot to hell already if these rumors are true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCsportsfan53 Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 its hard not to get mad at the coaches and doctors at this point if true. i haven't even heard of the PCL before Agreed. For me, it's more on the doctors. I didn't agree with Shany leaving him out there but I understand. If he's medically cleared by the doctors it's a gut decision. I blame Mike because to me it looked like he wasn't healthy enough to be effective but I don't fault him for the further injury. this can't be real life....yes it was a freak accident, but all because of a terrible snap.... It wasn't the bad snap that caused it. A healthy knee doesn't buckle like that in that situation. If RG3 is out for next season we will not hear the end of this. Will be a bigger story then what ever happens in the next playoff round. This city will implode, Shanahan will be hunted. My heart can't take it. It will be a huge story and many will incorrectly call for Shanahan's head but to me, the medical staff and Dr Andrews are the people I'm looking at. That's great that you were nervous, Dr Andrews, but if it was that risky why the **** did you clear him to play? I'm a Shanny guy, but it's going to be tough for him to survive this if true. I don't think it will. I blame our god awful fanbase that can't take a loss without wanting to skewer half our team. :applause: Such a ****ing whiny, reactionary bunch. Shanny and son were like deer in the headlights. One of the worst coaching decisions I've ever seen. If RGIII is out until 2014 and his career is put in jeopardy, Shanny should be fired immediately. Massive overreaction. Some of the training staff on the other hand? We can talk. Criticize away. I won't argue that Shanny screwed up. I just find some of the reactionary bull**** to be particularly over the top. Declaring that our coaching staff must be axed pending Griffin's medical prognosis is just one such reaction. Agreed If Dr James Andrews really had concerns, he should have voiced them much louder. Dude was hedging his bets at best. 110% agreed. I mean seriously. Andrews got a good look at him after the first tweak. Why would he say he was okay to go back in? That's the question I can't get out of my head, either. Was the medical advice poor or just blatantly ignored? I have a feeling we'll never really know but either way, the situation was handled poorly. And what about Griffin's role in all this? He has a role in it, to an extent, but these guys need to be protected from themselves because most of them would crawl back onto the field if allowed. Ultimately, it seems obvious in hindsight that someone, somehow at some point from the medical staff should have been in Shany's ear saying "this is crazy, you've got to pull him, he's going to tear that knee up". I just heard double amputation and ebola. :rotflmao: Much needed brevity at the moment. Hilarious. I'm starting to think Dr. James Andrews likes being on the sidelines a little too much.That USA Today article was conscience talking. Because he did clear RG3 at some point. Again, agreed 110%. The foreboding with his USA Today comments was rather eery in hindsight, though. At the end of the day the medical guys cleared him to play and they're the doctors, they're the ones who evaluate the medical risk. They're responsible for making sure the coaches know if he can or can't continue to play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stadium-Armory Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 I've got a buddy who's ACL has been gone for years. He walks around fine. Snowboards with a brace. If the tries to play basketball, some times it 'pops out' and he's in terrible pain. Point is, walking around after an ACL means nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
