That LT literally kicked out, put his arm out, got his hand smacked down and boom hit Griffin. Literally was set, hike, hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Veryoldschool Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 This was a good outing for Griffin who spent last season out of the league. I think Griffin will be needed by the Ravens this season because their 1st Round pick looked really green and miscast in his first NFL appearance.

BatteredFanSyndrome Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 I think pretty good equates to ‘better than we expected’. While yes the protection wasn’t always stellar it appears he still can’t step up and let it go at the speed it needs to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, but maybe he can find a spot on the Raven bench and stay a part of the game he loves for a season or two. I don’t think he is wired to process a field quick enough for success as an NFL QB but can function as a lightly used back up. Flaco better stay healthy for Griffin to stay healthy.

Barry.Randolphe Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 He was up and down. I saw him make some really good quick reads on blitzes....other times he held the ball too long or the OL did a ****ty job and he got rocked. The interception wasn't his fault, it was a nicely thrown ball on a quick slant that the receiver popped into the air. He also looks like his knee is finally recovered from his injuries....only question is how long does he last? Like others have said, dude looks like a rag doll out there anytime he gets hit. Hot take: Lamar Jackson = Geno Smith....huge bust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Griffin, you don't know if the o-line is playing poorly, or his style of play makes them look bad. Think back to that Detroit preseason game, where the Redskins o-line looked terrible with Griffin in there. Then Cousins comes in, and they suddenly look like the Hogs. Griffin's style of play in the past has made an o-line look bad. I really didn't see any change from that in the HoF game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At a minimum, if a QB can’t release when he completes his drop he should start climbing back into the pocket to simplify things for the OL, Griffin hits his spot and stares downfield. He is much more effective rolling to 1 side of the field and running if he doesn’t have an open target. I think 5 or 7 step drops in the pocket set him up for failure.

Warhead36 Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 Its funny how bad QBs always seem to have bad OLs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TradeTheBeal! Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 “Pocket presence” is surely the most difficult QB intangible to master. I’m not sure it can even be taught. You either have it or you don’t. However it works, RG doesn’t yet possess it. And likely never will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
