RG3 Would Be Ready For 2013...If He Was Benched After The Ravens Game

Well that headline isn't exactly a fact...but...

With the news just in about Robert Griffin the third under going a "successful" surgery, doubt still looms about whether or not he will be 100% before the start of the 2013 season.  Doctor James Andrews is hiding behind a vague answer.

One thing is for sure, the Redskins better not let him step one foot on the field until he is 100%. Not 50%, not 90%, not even 99.9999999999999%.  Robert Griffin is the Redskins fans' golden ticket and their chocolate factory is a large stadium in East Rutherford New Jersey.

If something doesn't change offensively with the gameplan that keeps RG3 safe from himself as well as the opposing defenses, then the trust of Redskins fans goes right out the door.  Fan-anger is already at a fever-pitch after coaches allowed the QB to keep taking the field after his initial injury against the Ravens.

And think about this for a minute; had the Skins removed Griffin from the lineup earlier, he may have still required surgery.  If that happened he would already be in his second month of recovery and rehab.  That would have nearly guaranteed his knee would be better for the 2013 campaign.

Instead, Redskins fans will have to cross their fingers and hope for the best.

What does that mean!  It means we should all rent the movie Mr. Destiny and watch it 5 times.

RG3 Re-Injures Knee, Goes Down, Leaves Game

On Sunday night at FedEx field, Robert Griffin III limped his way through 4 quarters of football but after a low snap the rookie QB re-injured his knee against the Seattle Seahawks.  The knee bent the wrong way and knocked Robert out of the game, possibly ending his season.

Here is a GIF of the play and of two fan reactions:

RG3 Gets Smashed Again, Knocked Out Of The Game With Injury

The coaches have tried to get RG3 to slide, but the QB's competitiveness sometimes overshadows his critical thinking and he tries to make big plays.  Last week he got ROCKED, and this week he was rocked again.

This hit left RG3 with a bloody lip and had a football in the hands of Kirk Cousins warming up on the sidelines, which is horrifying.  I think RG3 is done and Cousins is actually going to play QB.  Yikes.

I'm pretty sure David Aldridge called Cousins in week 5...

See the GIF of the hit after the jump:

Brandon Meriweather and Aldrick Robinson Collide During Warm-ups, Both Out

During Sunday's pregame, Aldrick Robinson was running a deep pattern and was looking up at the ball to make the catch, not seeing teammate Brandon Meriweather standing in his path. The two collided and Meriweather was allegedly knocked unconscious. The collision left both players inactive for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers. GIF after the jump:
