Lost In Xanadu Posted January 9, 2013 Author Share Posted January 9, 2013 (edited) Forgot the link: http://www.usatoday....cl-lcl/1819605/ The news regarding Robert Griffin III's injured knee has gone from bad to worse.ESPN's Chris Mortensen reported early Wednesday morning that the Washington Redskins quarterback will undergo total reconstructive surgery later today to repair torn anterior cruciate and lateral collateral ligaments in his right knee.Mortensen, citing team sources familiar with the determination made by orthopedic specialist Dr. James Andrews, reports that Griffin's recovery time is expected to be six-to-eight months, meaning he should be ready for the Redskins' 2013 regular-season opener. Without any setbacks, Griffin, who tore his ACL before in 2009, should be able to participate in training camp in August.

Rick N. Backer Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 On the plus side, maybe now he'll have to stay in the pocket more. Tom Brady's been the QB of the Patriots since the 2001 season. Griffin doesn't make it 12 seasons running around like was doing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Griffin doesn't make it 12 seasons running around like was doing.If he stays in the pocket he won't be as effective, because the running threat is no longer there and he has to throw more, therefore more mistakes and a more predictable attack.

It's not just rolling out of the pocket that's the problem for RGIII. He has to stop trying to be a running back. There is a reason that RBs only average 6 years in the league. The key is to roll out of the pocket and still look for receivers. When a QB leaves the pocket, defenders will give up on the receiver to get the QB. When a QB can do that, he becomes truly dangerous. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
