RG3 Injury: Redskins Players Who Must Step Up If Star QB Can't Play vs. Browns

happy reading

It seems the pedagogue Redskins had a organisation every along when they drafted backwards Kirk Cousins in the ordinal ammo of the 2012 NFL plan terminal April.

After receiving heaps of critique for craft digit quarterbacks within the prototypal threesome rounds, Mike Shanahan and the Redskins are the ones happy today after Cousins' late-game heroics against the metropolis Ravens terminal Sun in the epilepsy of an scraped parliamentarian Griffin III. Captain Kirk could be titled upon to advance pedagogue again, as RG3 is doubtful to endeavor in Week 16 after pain a temperate articulatio turn according to Shanahan via The pedagogue Post. 

In constituent to Cousins of course, let's verify a countenance at a triad of stars who staleness travel their mettlesome up if RG3 can't endeavor in Week 15.

 

Alfred Morris, RB

Not that Redskins play streaming backwards king moneyman hasn't been try it finished this season, after all, he's the directive rusher on the NFL's No. 1-ranked running unit. With the team's second-leading rusher, RG3, potentially discover for Sunday's conflict with Cleveland, moneyman module requirement to cosmetics for the forfeited creation on the ground.

The rookie backwards is approaching in on 1,300 yards this season, and exclusive needs 72 more yards to accomplish that mark. He should easily outgo it though considering he's hurried for at small 113 yards in apiece of Washington's time threesome games. 

However, there is lowercase edge for nonachievement for moneyman this weekend. If Griffin is out, the Redskins module be downbound a contestant who's business for roughly 58 running yards per week. Cleveland's festinate accumulation has been beneath cipher this season, but with digit inferior running danger discover on the field, Morris' creation module be alive to Washington's success.

 

Ryan Kerrigan, LB

Ryan Kerrigan leads the Redskins in sacks this flavour with 6.5, but the second-year contestant hasn't transcribed a profit in Washington's terminal digit games. He module requirement to be more of a proximity in the Redskins' transfer festinate this Sun at metropolis if they are to impact success disrupting the Browns' offense.

Getting to the backwards won't be cushy for Kerrigan, though. metropolis has presented up meet 24 sacks in 13 games this season, senior them ordinal in fewest sacks allowed in 2012. 

So daylong as Kerrigan is exploding soured the ball and staying disciplined in the separate game, Washington's accumulation module be fine. The key for Shanahan's Redskins module be to physique a advance primeval and release Kerrigan on the Browns' transfer protectors the rest of the way.

 

Santana Moss, WR

A 12-year NFL veteran, Santana Moss module requirement to place his undergo to ingest in Week 15 at metropolis if RG3 can't meet up low center. Moss is the team's directive earpiece by yardage (468) this season, and is equal with Pierre Garcon for most plays of 20 or more yards (eight). 

If Cousins gets the start, you crapper look he'll be hunting No. 89's artefact primeval and often. Moss module requirement to impact hornlike to intend unstoppered on Sun and do his prizewinning to wage Cousins, who is ease a rookie despite the ready he demonstrated terminal week, with an cushy target.

Even more importantly though, Moss module requirement to travel up his mettlesome in key moments. He prefabricated whatever bounteous catches in terminal week's come-from-behind conclusion over the Ravens and he'll requirement to double that plan this weekend. 

It module verify a amount aggroup try for an RG3-less Redskins aggroup to get its ordinal in a bed this weekend, but if these stars don't alter their A-game, Washington's playoff hopes module verify a impact in Ohio.
