RGIII- News goes from bad to worse - Total Knee Reconstruction

It isn't a true option. Griffin only runs the ball 8 times a game. I honestly don't think you understand the pistol and I am not being snarky.

You never are, that would require being clever. You are a windbag..you have to be Irish. The O'Hail Factor! Caution...you are about to enter the windbag zone!

Coming from the little girl who makes stuff up. Priceless.

If you call that a tackle. He got hurt this last time in the pocket. This idea that the pistol is a gimmick is not supported by reality.

Whatever you want to call it he would not have been poleaxed by a 340 lb. defensive tackle running at him at full speed if he was in the pocket.

He doesn't understand enough about football to even know where the pocket is. He thinks it is where you hit the eightball.

They gave up three becuase they got one in return. Sorry of that confuses you. You can say they gave up four to get the second pick but its inaccurate to say they gave up four to get Griffin.

If I spend $20,000 to buy a car what did I give up to get the car? $20,000 or $20,000 - the book value of the car?

Or easier yet if I trade you my peanut butter and jelly sandwich, potatoe chips, cookies and apple to get your school lunch what did I give up? The answer is I gave up a sandwich, chips, cookies, and an apple. It does not matter what I got in return I still gave up my sandwich.

Hope that helps.

[HAIL2BNG]

Wrong. They said the Skins gave up four picks for Griffin and that isn't true. Your analogy would work if you also traded another car in. The Redskins gave up picks, got one in return and used it to select Griffin. 4-1=3. Hope that helps.

It’s just a formation a variation of the traditional shotgun. When I was in college the big thing was run shotgun (single back) but run traditional plays out of it by motioning the TE, you could run Power/Counter. In that pistol formation they are still running option.

So did I give up my sandwich?

You actually are getting close here though. The Redskins gave up 4 picks and got 1 in return. So their net loss was 3 picks but they still gave up 4. When you did your math equation the first number in it is 4 (4-1=3) 4 IS the number of picks they gave up to get Griffin in return. Therfore they are correct and you are wrong.

Just like the Wildcat is the Single Wing. It was not new it just hadn't been used in the NFL for a while so it worked at first. Then defenses figured it out and now it does not work.

Another example is the Ravens Sugar huddle. It is simply a no huddle without rushing to snap the ball. It is not new. The Bills did it durring their hey day. But I would not expect our resident Skins fan to understand this.

I do have one question though. Is he locker combo reincarnated? I mean he makes stupid points, thinks he is never wrong and has terrible spelling and grammar.

You gave up your sandwich and got a sandwich in return. I don't know why simple math is so hard. Again 4-1=3. They gave up three and swapped one. They used that one to get Griffin. If you said they used four picks, you would be correct. If you say they gave up four picks to St. Louis, that is incorrect.

The pistol was invented in 2005 and just started to be used in the pros. The read option is different from traditional options because the quarterback doesn't even fully commit to going outside the tackles if he doesn't want. It freezes the linebackers. That's how it has been effective.

Since you can't dispute that, you should maybe try to show me my horrible spelling and grammar that also don't exist.

So you are saying that before the Pistol was invented in 2005 there was never an instance where the QB didn't fully commit to going outside the tackle? Therefore the Pistol is a totally different and new offense. I think you are wrong. I think that at least once in history a QB ran an option play where he didn't want to fully commit to going outside the tackle. I think that at least once in history he either cut between the guard and tackle or pitched it before he got outside the tackle.

Now to your statement about spelling and grammar the following are detected when run through a Word spelling and grammar tool:

So all the teams that are ADDING it to their offense know less than you. We should let them know. Seattle, Washington, San Fran and more all run the pistol effectively.

They gave up three becuase they got one in return. Sorry of that confuses you. You can say they gave up four to get the second pick but its inaccurate to say they gave up four to get Griffin.

You are such a miserable POS. I merely repeated what has been reported from people who spoke to Dr. James Andrews. He knows a thing or tow about these injuries. Now, crawl back in your hole of ignorance and let the adults talk about football.

I haven't been wrong about anything. You're the master of that. Sorry your Sirius guys didn't report what EVERYONE ELSE IS IS REPORTING. I guess guys like Ross tucker are too busy being pistol offense experts.


Great, you keep listening to the and I will keep actually watching football.

[HAIL2BNG]

Wow, you really showed me. Ha ha ha ha

[rgh]

Wrong again I gave up my sandwich and got a school lunch in return. It was pizza not a sandwich. I would never trade all of that for just a sandwich.

However I did give up 4 food items (sandwich, chips, cookies, and an apple) for 1 item (school lunch). I can not explain it in any simpler terms than that.

Now I am done with this whole thread and promise I will never reply to anything you say ever again. If you would like to post one more time and tell me I am wrong and point out my stupidity then I guess you are the better man. Much like the Broncos were the better team on Saturday.

[HAIL2BNG]

You just don't comprehend simple math. Don't feel bad. It's not uncommon.

[Eastside Terp]

they run an option offense out of a pistol formation .......

spin it however you want but its not too different than what every high school team in my city did when I was young .....

rg3's future success depends on the health of his legs, not his arm .......

[HAIL2BNG]

The read option is very different from a high school option format but I won't try to educate the guy who thinks Griffin is a dump pass master despite being at the top of the league in accuracy on passes over 20 yards.

Yeah right, you keep parroting that crap over and over. I don't think Bob can throw any deep ball like Flacco has during the past two playoff games against Indy and Denver. Furthermore, he cannot throw nearly as well on the move and under pressure as Russell Wilson, and Flacco and Andrew Luck both throw the sideline pass more accurately. So hang your hat on this crap but Ravens fans know better. One more thing, Russell Wilson and Luck aren't worrying about rehabbing during the off season either. So plesae enough of your bullcrap.

[HAIL2BNG]

So Griffin had better completion percentages the those guys on all those throws AND threw fewer interceptions but you, the guy who doesn't watch any games, are going to try and pretend they are better at them. Stop embarrassing yourself, Hadley. We know you don't know football. Stop proving it.

Flacco is horrible at sideline passes and since those are the only games you do see, I would think you'd know at least that.

Horrible?????? Flacco throws the best sideline pass in the game? An absolute dart! Very few NFL QBs can throw that pass like him, perhaps only Aaron Rogers. Go back to Kindergarten son. That is your level of knowledge when observing QB play. AS far as Bob's stats get back to me when he plays a full season son. Partial seasons don't count when compared to QB's who play all 16 games.
