Griffin was also feeling the criticism for not taking himself out. He did not appear in the locker room during the two hours it was open to reporters Monday morning and instead made his public statements via Twitter. But few have been in the line of fire in battle. I thank God for perspective and because of that I appreciate the support from everyone.
I also appreciate the criticism. When adversity strikes you respond in one of two ways You step aside and give in.. Or you step up and fight," Griffin tweeted. Teammates defended Griffin's desire to play hurt, saying it's part of an athlete's competitive nature. Shanahan's take on Griffin was also muddled by details that have emerged from the game in which the quarterback originally hurt the knee last month against the Baltimore Ravens.
The coach said at the time he was told by Andrews on the Redskins sideline that Griffin was cleared to return to the game, but Andrews told USA Today over the weekend that he didn't get a chance to examine the knee during the one play Griffin sat out after the initial injury.
He said yes. Either way, the various versions of what happened cast more intrigue on the protocol NFL teams use to determine whether someone is fit to keep playing. Redskins left guard Kory Lichtensteiger had to leave Sunday's game in the first quarter because he could no longer play on a sprained left ankle that kept him out of practice all week.
Obvious as rookies? Where do you guys get this stuff from?? I need another football board to go to. You guys are killing me with this nonsense. That qualifies as NYT best seller these days. But most fans could see he was going to hurt himself. He looked awkward spinning around, and he admitted to faking back inside to draw the roughing penalties. Him going back in, was partly on him.
All in for week one, was all on him. His father limiting the playbook was on his father. Despite all this, and the fact that he couldnt read defenses or find open guys after the first season…. Dan stuck by him. Dan forced the Shanahans to play him, and when they wouldnt do it anymore, he fired them and hired Jay Gruden. Seems like this is his way of grabbing a few extra bucks. Bob is a narcissist. He destroyed his own career in DC.
Then looked terrible everywhere thereafter. Good luck with that. Very weak, tattletale. Blah blah blah. Man up. That will teach them for using all those draft picks and giving you millions and millions of dollars thinking you would be worth it!
That makes this a money grab and it makes him a hypocrite. Mismanagement or not, RG3 was a ticking time bomb for injury. He never learned how to slide or protect himself from the big hits.
Everytime someone is a runner, they automatically can read defenses. There is a lot more to a QB than just reading defenses. The medical staff for Washington is suspect,,,ask Trent Williams 2. If he would have just learned how to slide he never would have suffer that ugly hit against the Ravens 3.
He may have wanted to play, but that responsibility falls on the Shanahan and the coaching staff, not the player. He was being pampered by Dan Snyder, being flown around on his private jet. RGIII also pouted a lot, refused to listen to coaches and adapt his reckless style of play.
His teammates also were much more supportive of Kirk Cousins. I mean two months ago he was willing to play for this same franchise he is trashing? You must be logged in to leave a comment.

I wish more former players did this. This the same dude was trying to come back to this team this is all about money I come on. Rooting for you RG3 wipes! He should get Gruden to write the forward or a caption on the back of the book.
When a teams gives up 4 1st round picks for a bust, the team does look dysfunctional. And now we know how he got that nice cushy announcing job.
Enjoy getting sued by your thin-skinned former owner! It takes one to know one….. RG3 reportedly already used a portion of the patellar tendon in his right knee for his previous ACL surgery, so he would need to get a tissue graft from his hamstring which Popovitz would not recommend for athletes or his other knee.
Andrews will use a patella graft from Griffin's left knee to repair the tear. Since Griffin's ACL had already had been operated on, Popovitz said the procedure is more complicated because surgeons have to either widen the original hole in the femur bone where the original surgery took place, or re-position the hole to a new area, which makes things more difficult because they are working with only centimeters of space.
And that's just for ACL surgery. An LCL procedure is more complex than a first-time ACL repair, according to Popovitz, because the ligament resides near nerves and blood vessels that a surgeon has to worry about. Similar to the ACL, an LCL repair or reconstruction would consist of either sewing up the ligament, or harvesting tissue from another part of the body or a cadaver. Andrews, he's still in the realm of possibility of returning to the NFL at a same high level.
Unfortunately chances are smaller than a virgin ACL [injury]. The recovery for these surgeries can overlap, he said, so for the most, he would tell patients they could resume full activity after six to nine months. Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson made an impressive return this season about eight months after tearing an ACL, even leading the league in rushing yards.
But Popovitz, who previously served as a team surgeon for the U.
