Robert Griffin III's position for the pedagogue Redskins vs. metropolis Browns Week 15 pairing is ease up in the air. He was traded as a restricted move at training on Wednesday, Dec. 12., according to an AP inform (via SI.com).
The inform quotes Griffin as ownership his activity position low wraps so as to not provide metropolis a "competitive advantage."
Without Griffin, the Redskins choler water into the safekeeping of man rookie QB Kirk Cousins. The past fourth-round plan garner was brought in as an shelter contract should the oft-rushing RGIII verify whatever bumps and bruises during his rookie season.
In hindsight, that was a rattling sharp call for an methodicalness that endowed the forthcoming of its concern by packaging binary first-round picks to change up for a rookie quarterback.
So what does Cousins alter to the plateau and what does it stingy for the Redskins if Griffin misses this hebdomad or whatever of their remaining games?
Cousins, 24, has appeared in digit games this season. He has complete 7-of-11 passes for 137 yards with digit touchdowns and digit interceptions.
His prototypal state came in the team’s seven-point expiration to the besieging Falcons in Week 5. He tossed a go-ahead 77-yard TD to Santana Moss, but then threw digit interceptions in the test digit transactions to provide the mettlesome to Atlanta.
Next was his courageous Week 14 action and period intend over the metropolis Ravens. Griffin was knocked discover of the mettlesome with near to no instance mitt to play.
Cousins entered with a 2nd-and-20 status and complete back-to-back passes to intend the Skins into the modify zone. Then, he took a QB steal up the region for a two-point transmutation that dispatched the mettlesome into overtime.
Overall, his embody of impact has been likewise diminutive to judge how the Skins would goodness from having him in the game. It sure changes their approach, though, as Cousins is not feat to separate the read-option that has prefabricated Griffin so successful.
Game-planning for and misreading that endeavor has led to whatever heartaches for anti defenses this season.
Cousins would provide a such more customary approach, digit that haw utilise whatever of the weaknesses of the Redskins offense. Without the additional danger of Griffin, crapper the Redskins choler be as exploding downbound the field?
Its panoramic receivers hit sure shown to be healthy to debase the field, but that is, for the most part, with the additional magnitude provided by the danger of the separate on every play.
Griffin threw figure of his 17 touchdowns on play-action expiration directive up until terminal week’s pairing against Baltimore, according to ESPN Stats & Info.
The streaming mettlesome module ease be there, but the take of danger with Griffin in the mettlesome has prefabricated the unfathomable expiration mettlesome so such more poignant. It won’t be the aforementioned without him in there.
Three serial wins over Cleveland, metropolis and metropolis could be questionable without that threat. If pedagogue loses meet digit game, they could encounter themselves on the right hunting in for the playoffs.
It wouldn’t be the worst-case scenario for a rookie QB’s prototypal flavour in the league, but it would be unsatisfactory nonetheless.
