Rumor on Seattle Radio

[reddyuta]

CM is a good runner and a huge upgrade over Dunbar but he has fumbling problems and pass protection issues too.

 

[Nightman]

I don't know how good CM is but he can't even win the backup job in Seattle. I wouldn't mind bringing him in for cheap but he'd be the #3 RB and would need to work his way up from there.

I don't think it's about winning the back-up job. SEA wasn't going to keep Lynch but the whole Beast Mode stuff won them over.

CM is now expendable. Turbin is a little better but I would take him as well.

SEA would be better off keeping Rawls for 4 years than CM for 2, especially if they signed FJackson as insurance.

 

[Nightman]

I would take RGIII over Weeden but not his contract

 

[AzorAhai]

I agree, but let's say Chicago picked him up, it *may* be a situation he does not want to be in and it does not mean they can't just release him before the season ends once they got an extended look. But I just can't imagine it.

If I was a GM, particularly the Cowboys GM, I would be terrified he would have an "injury" somewhere along the way similar to Jay Rat. If, and I think its a big if, he waives that option some team probably would give them a late rd pick for him. I doubt that would be here though.

I think its all moot though. Once he's healthy enough to pass an exit physical I bet he's cut immediately.

Ball control and pass protection are two essential elements for any RB we'd consider bringing in. Who cares how he runs the ball if he can't pickup a blitz or hold onto it?

 

[Maxmadden]

Tell me about it.. Took forever for the light bulb to go off in Jasons head for that one.

By the looks of it we may actually see some quick passes designed to get the ball in Dez and Beasleys hands this year instead of running Dez 25 yards downfield every play.

Maybe it just took a while to get the personnel to run it?

Especially a 3rd RB, who more than likely is going to be pressed into action at some point this season.

I heard Washington was trying to trade Griffin but could find no takers. Washington screwed up when they signed RG3 to the option for 2016 back in March. They should not have picked up the option. That way they could have traded him now for a mid round draft pick. As it stands now, Washington is stuck with cutting him and receiving nothing. He is too risky to have on the roster with that $16M option guaranteed for injury.

Heck, maybe RG3 milks that concussion thing for $16M. That would be hilarious if RG3 says he is cut injured (concussion, shoulder) and wants his $16M. He also has that shoulder hit he took in preseason after he fumbled. Maybe his shoulder ain't right, and that concussion is lingering. I would love to see RG3 pull a Ratliff and sue the skins for $16m after getting cut now.

I agree. If a GM claimed him and he got injured, that's a fire able/blackball offense.

 

[big dog cowboy]

Take it for what it's worth. But a host here on the radio just said Steven Jones has talked to Daniel Snyder about a late round draft pick for RG3. Said that at 4:15 John Clayton will be on, and he's going to "ask The Professor if there is any truth to that?" They've been talking a lot about Christian Michael tweeting about wanting to go to Dallas. Said that if he does he will be starter by mid season LOL. Said the Only reason he's in dog house here is because PC says he needs to learn faster and CM took offense to that.

Any more updates?

 

[ElGatoGrande]

How was he mismanaged in Washington other than the injury in the playoffs? They did everything they could to run a simple one read offense that made it simple enough conceptually for Griffin to handle. That is just a real fact.

Then in his second year, he tells Shanahan he wants to be a dropback passer and he has yet to understand the work that goes into being an NFL QB. In other words, he thinks he is better than he is and has not shown he is willing to pay the price.

Hogwash, Robert had/has skills and ended up at odds with Shanny (who is an egomaniacal nutjob). Parcells would have handled him differently,,, Garrett too

Parcells would have been interesting. Calling him "the player" would have irked Griffin

I think Griffin is a lot smarter than "the player", which isn't really saying that much actually.

I wouldn't characterize either as dumb, but TO is obviously the bigger ***hole of the two. A matter of fact, I don't think Griffin is an ***hole, just oblivious to reality, ie, saying your the best QB in the league is not the best course of action or giving an intern control over your Instagram account so they can "like" a post bashing Washington.

 

[CATCH17]

No we had the personell.

Running a power scheme with the Phil Costas of the world was an absolute joke.

Or keeping the routes long and drawn out when they couldn't block forever.

Garrett changes his schemes for no one.

Once Colombo was gone the entire line was best suited to zone block.

 

[EST_1986]

RG3 would get 1800 yards behind this line

 

[BringBackThatOleTimeBoys]

I would not be going after RGIII, Cassell....I'd be going thru rookies/free agents like Romo himself.

 

[Alexander]

RG3 would get 1800 yards behind this line

Well, I guess this plays into the idea that anybody can get yards behind this line. Even one legged un-instinctual QBs can now.

 

[erod]

Seattle radio said this?

Was this before or after the union-required afternoon bong break?
