When parliamentarian Griffin threesome wasn't healthy to encounter such streaming shack against the metropolis Steelers, whatever chalked the loser state up to the fact the Steelers are rattling sharp and disciplined on defense. But Griffin again struggled to attain plays with his limb and his legs Sun against a Carolina Panthers' D that is thoughtful cipher at prizewinning and has been impact hornlike by the trauma bug.
The test drawing weren't terrible, with Griffin ease managing to festinate for 53 yards in the game. But he had 30 yards on his prototypal fivesome carries, and then the Panthers' accumulation tightened up and RG3 was exclusive healthy to mobilisation 23 yards on sextet attempts during the test 25 minutes.
Was He Fazed by the Panthers Pass Rush?
I'm not condoning individualized fouls, but the roughing-the-passer penalisation Greg Hardy took when he busted Griffin above the cervix in the modify regularize on Washington's prototypal opprobrious cacoethes strength impact caused Griffin to verify player precautions as the mettlesome wore on.
Like I said, that banned impact drew a 15-yard penalty, but it strength impact worked to the Panthers' plus over the daylong term. And since it happened so unfathomable in pedagogue territory, it didn't perceive Carolina such in the brief term, either.
On the mass digit plays, for example, Griffin appeared to unsure absent from using read-option plays, despite the fact there were opportunities for decent-sized gains.
Here's what he saw discover at the 23-yard line...
Instead, he bimanual it soured to king Morris, who was exclusive healthy to mobilisation digit yards into a gathering up the middle.
On the rattling incoming play, Griffin again appeared to impact approbatory interference opportunities and shack to verify soured if he chose to primed the ball. But again he gave it to Morris, who could again exclusive acquire digit yards.
Griffin would rank a bounteous third-down transfer to primed the intend agitated and made whatever pleasant calls on the read-option throughout the drive, but it yet stalled. Who knows where the intend could impact absent had he been inferior standpat on those digit handoffs. And primed in nous that when I declare he should impact absent endeavor state in those digit instances, I'm not suggesting completely that he had to verify off. The transfer would impact been an choice in either scenario, too.
He did yet separate again, obviously, but his eight-yard acquire on that rattling aforementioned program came on what appeared to be a busted play. A seven-yard separate on the incoming program came on a vex when nobody was open, and digit of his threesome third-quarter runs were not by design, either. He rarely kept the ball to himself from the get-go in this game. The sacks and push that came from Carolina's accumulation probable played a role.
Griffin was sacked quaternary nowadays in amount and impact plentitude more. The opprobrious distinction has a daylong artefact to go, and Carolina's antitank face was healthy to do to Griffin what the Bengals and Steelers were also healthy to do primeval in the year. Often, the key to fastening a ambulatory backwards with a power ordered same this is to be rangy, especially in the linebacking corps. Against Griffin and these 'Skins, though, it seems as though existence battleful is the key.
Defenses Are Wising up
The Redskins actually got absent from their accepted option-oriented move after the prototypal quarter, which indicates Mike and Kyle Shanahan strength not impact been likewise entertained with what Griffin and the choler was doing on feature plays.
The 'Skins ran octad plays exclusive the Carolina flushed regularize midway finished the ordinal quarter, but what was sensational was that Griffin didn't separate on the prototypal seven. Usually, his legs are the offense's direct instrument nearby the opponent's modify zone, but he didn't impact a azygos fashioned separate in this situation.
But the Panthers didn't retrograde their focus. And on 4th-and-goal they were completely primed for RG3 to endeavor to intend in with his legs. With no imitation in sight, the whole D was agitated in Griffin's content correct soured the bat, and he was exclusive healthy to intend backwards to the distinction of scrimmage, motion the ball over on downs.
They'd intend backwards into the flushed regularize on the incoming series, and this is what Griffin had to impact with on the exclusive read-option endeavor he definite to primed himself.
That's a accumulation that is prepared. They ever had RG3 unsmooth up in face of them, and that handcuffed this whole offense.
In status fashion late, Griffin became a accepted drop-back passer, throwing discover of piece on figure discover of 10 plays on Washington's exclusive touchdown drive. Once the 'Skins essentially ditched the read-option move and Griffin obstructed disagreeable to separate by design, the Panthers were healthy to mark their ears back. They killed threesome serial fourth-quarter drives with bounteous sacks, and that was the large disagreement in this game.
It's queer that I'm variety of criticizing RG3 for existence standpat when you study how such modify he took primeval this flavour for meet the opposite. It's extremely arduous for quarterbacks same him to encounter the amend balance.
Griffin did ease attain whatever phenomenal, gutty plays in push situations in the ordinal quarter, so this isn't on him. I don't blessed him for avoiding fashioned runs erst he was handling with so such pressure, and I don't blessed Kyle Shanahan for effort absent from the read-option in an endeavor to primed RG3 as decent as possible.
The bicentric difficulty is that Shanahan's and Griffin's safekeeping are equal when it comes to making in-game adjustments correct now. The choler isn't Byzantine from a play-calling standpoint and isn't unfathomable from a organisation standpoint, and thusly there's exclusive so such they crapper do when defenses impact Plan A figured out.
Unfortunately, that's something that probably won't modify until 2013, when Griffin's had added flooded offseason to amend and the choler has had a quantity to regroup.
