Redskins coach Mike Shanahan, when pressed if Robert Griffin III will begin the season opener now that he is cleared, averted the query by saying Dr. James Andrews nonetheless had some concerns.
Well, Andrews’ considerations are one thing we actually have not heard before.
According to ESPN, Andrews “expressed concern about how the Redskins plan to use Griffin of their offense.” Assuming that Shanahan didn’t inform Andrews he planned to use Griffin at left sort out as an alternative of quarterback, one would determine this implies he is concerned that the Redskins don’t plan to tell Griffin to not run the ball. If Andrews did express concerns about Griffin’s function within the offense, that could be a first for a doctor.
Which form of begs the question.. why did Andrews even clear Griffin to play then?
It wouldn’t go over well if the Redskins did inform Griffin to not run the ball. That’s considered one of his strengths as a quarterback. And Griffin goes to get hit within the pocket too; that’s type of how football works. Or maybe Andrews was nervous about Griffin beginning and taking part in a whole recreation, which is bizarre since you’d determine when the physician clears Griffin to play, it means he is clearing him to play, not stand on the sideline.
Or, properly, this puts it greatest:
There’s no technique to completely protect a NFL participant from harm, except for not playing him in any respect. Griffin should be slightly more aware of when to slip on his runs, but that has been drilled into him all offseason. If Andrews cleared Griffin, it ought to mean he is able to play. If Griffin isn’t wholesome sufficient, why was he cleared? Is Andrews simply overlaying himself in case Griffin gets damage again?
Whatever is happening, this can be a new one. Just when we thought the Griffin drama was executed when he tweeted out that he was cleared. It appears now that the following phase of it was just starting.
