Griff's MRI Negative

[ntotoro]

RG3 needs to watch tape of Fran Tarkenton back in the day. Some of the younger members won't know much about the guy. It was almost impossible to get a solid hit on Tarkenton.[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uDmeTo-8aoI[/media]

Hey, that was the guy on Real People! He played football, too?

Real People?!?!...geez. that's a blast from the past.

How you didn't get banned for this post is beyond me

It was a near thing, Miles, but the coin flip came up in his favor. This time.

Mike claiming it's a grade 1 sprain per his presser currently.

Everyone above this line is a jerk for beating me to the news

------------END JERK LINE-------------

Shanahan said it's a Grade 1 LCL Sprain. Which, apparently, means mild swelling.

For way more than you ever wanted to know about a grade 1 LCL sprain

I'll ask my wife tonight about it. She worked as an orthopedic nurse for 3 or 4 years.

When I first saw the replay it looked like a head on to the top of the leg, looking back at it again, the leg fortunately turned just enough so the brunt on the force was more sideways allowing more hinge action at the knee.

Close call, scary looking.

Yet another amazing trait about RG3, as if everything else wasn't super-human - his body can take hits like Anderson Silva's bowling ball head can

Yeah, recovery time of 3 weeks to 3 months. That is enough for me to say sit him! Everyone wanted to wait to see, well there it is. We have entirely too much invested in this kid. If Shanahan puts him out there next week I think I might get sick to my stomach!

"Sit back and relax....I got these Brownies guys....I'm back and with Pierre, I'm goin' deep!"

I have to admit, I laughed and threw up a little in my mouth at the same time. It made for an interesting choking sound, similar to the Chicago Bears about now.

If Griffin can practice Thursday and Friday, he starts. I wouldn't like our chances too much with Captain Kirk at the helm. It's almost guaranteed that Cleveland would put seven or eight guys in the box and force Cousins to beat them deep. Scary proposition.

Speaking of injuries, does anyone believe we win this game, had Suggs and/or Lewis played ? Unfortunately, I don't think we do.

Not saying you're wrong, but athletes recover much quicker than the averages for the rest of us

If the doctors say he's good and the coaches can tell he'a fine, then I say let him go. I do agree that his health is more important than a playoff run this season.

Does anyone believe we win this game if Griffin goes out, down by eight, less than a minute to go?

I dont think we do.

I felt like we could Henry.

MAYBE not with Suggs. MAYBE. But Lewis ain't what he used to be.

EDIT: And if we're gonna go that route... any chance we DON'T win the game with Rak, Merriweather, Tanard, etc?

 

[Burgundy Burner]

Exactly. We have many key injuries too. It all evens out. The better team won on Sunday afternoon. We have Beltway Bragging Rights for the next few years (all caps makes it official, ya know).

A few weeks ago - did anyone think that we would win at Dallas on Thanksgiving, then against the Giants and the Ravens to boot??? Sure, one of those games was certainly possible - maybe two. All three? No one here was thinking it as we sat at 3-6.

Incredible run - let's just enjoy it and try not to over-analyze things.

Then surely, you can tell us whether Griff will be ready to play Sunday, which is all we really wanna know

 

[Lanky Livingston]

The girlfriend says he should be fine, she's a PT. I expect his competitiveness alone to have him ready to play.
