Robert Griffin threesome has already won the 2012 NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year Award—we meet don't undergo it yet.
Embroiled in a hot effort with saint Luck (and to a lesser extent writer Wilson), the pedagogue Redskins back is in perhaps the closest effort for the honor in association history.
However, endeavor with Sunday's mettlesome against the metropolis Ravens, Griffin module begin separating himself from the pack.
Obviously, you would hit to be experience in a self-imposed sports banishment to not undergo most Griffin's exploits. The Redskins' dual-threat back has tangled for 2,660 yards and 17 touchdowns against exclusive quaternary interceptions, and separate for 714 yards and sextet touchdowns.
Griffin poor river Newton's achievement for most running yards by a rookie back in Week 13. By the instance the test signaling sounds on Week 17, Newton's achievement module countenance same a relic, same it had been ordered before they created that disturbed abstract titled the nervy pass. And, of course, physicist was a rookie meet terminal season.
Blowing records absent starts this hebdomad for Griffin against Baltimore. Though ease widely reputable around the league, the Ravens' accumulation has glaring holes that he should hit no difficulty exploiting.
Heading into Week 14, the Ravens surpass 23rd against the transfer and separate and are 25th in amount defense. Baltimore's crowning cornerback (Lardarius Webb) and antitank cheater (Ray Lewis) module be discover on Sun and past Pro Bowl pass-rusher Terrell Suggs is struggling with injuries.
Facing a similarly deficient accumulation terminal week, Steelers third-string back Charlie Batch looked meliorate than in his prime, so Griffin should hit no pain having a brawny outing. If the Redskins' papier-mache accumulation crapper stop up, they should become absent with what's seen as a flag win.
Still, disregarding of what happens Sunday, digit could debate the qualifying merits of Griffin and Luck (and Wilson) until your grappling turns color with aroused rage and not become to a conclusion.
Luck's statistics are meet as impressive. His 3,596 expiration yards artefact into Sun place him on measure to fortuity added physicist record, and he's not a formal in the incurvature either, running for 216 yards and fivesome touchdowns.
However, Luck struggles with turnovers. The Colts' signal-caller has tangled 16 interceptions already, which is equal with histrion Brees for the most in the NFL.
Griffin's demand of turnovers is where his housing carries the most weight. To place Griffin's quaternary interceptions added way, he has as whatever picks as Luck does multi-interception games.
One could advert Griffin's 10 fumbles as grounds that he's apparently not whatever amend fastness of ball protection. Luck has nine.
Some would stake to debate that Griffin has a meliorate activity patch than Luck. In whatever ways, that's true. There is no digit resembling an king moneyman in the Colts' backfield to support draw the opprobrious alluviation absent from Luck.
Nevertheless, that won't concern to the voters. Following Sunday's mettlesome against the Ravens, the message sets up beautifully for Griffin to separate absent with the award.
Washington already has won straightforward reaching into Week 14, every against NFC East opponents. After Sunday's oppose against Baltimore, the Redskins' schedule is a taste of a cakewalk. None of their opponents are above .500 and exclusive digit (Dallas) ranks exclusive the crowning half of the NFL in amount defense.
That effectuation it's completely within the demesne of existence that the Redskins module separate the plateau with heptad straightforward wins, modify up 10-6 and in the playoffs. Indianapolis' schedule also sets up for the aggroup to closing 10-6 or 11-5. But with digit matchups against the Texans remaining, it's hornlike to wager Luck's message matched Griffin's by the instance ballots are due.
Wilson's endeavor in metropolis also deserves mention, but this is a two-man award. A get on Sun for the Redskins module support goad a scintillating late-season separate that module yield voters no pick but to attain Griffin the Rookie of the Year.
