RG3 Leads the Redskins Past the Vikings 38-26

rg3vikings RG3 Leads the Redskins Past the Vikings 38 26
The Washington Redskins finally got the monkey off their backs at home, after 8 straight losses at home, the Redskins used a strong defensive outing and strong play from their rookie quarterback to beat the Minnesota Vikings 38-26. The win was a strong combination of effective offensive game planning by Kyle Shanahan and the fact that the defense stepped up in key situations.

The announcers in the game talked from the onset about the fact that Jim Haslett had spoke about his defense needing three key turnovers to get the victory against the Vikings. Ask and you shall receive, Madieu Williams had an interception he returned for a touchdown, Lorenzo Alexander was able to recover a fumble by Christian Ponder on a sack, and DeAngelo Hall intercepted Ponder as well in the last seconds of the game.

The game looked like it was playing well into the Vikings hand early on as they jumped out to a 9-0 lead behind three field goals by Blair Walsh. From that point the Redskins proceeded to score 24 answered points to take control.

Alfred Morris rushed 16 times for 47 yards and a touchdown but wasn’t much of a factor as RG3 was the main focal point on offense. New kicker Kai Forbath was successful on his first and only kick of the day, a 50 yarder, which was also his first NFL kick.

Robert Griffin III had one of his best games in his short career, he was 17-22, for 182 yards, 1 touchdown and one interception and rushed the ball 13 times for 138 yards and 2 touchdowns, the last one was a 76 yarder (video below). Griffin showed no bad signs from his “mild” concussion of a week ago, after his long TD run the crowd at FedEx Field all chanted…RG3…RG3…RG3!!!

The win improved the Redskins to 3-3 on the year and dropped the Vikings to 4-2.

Hail to the Redskins!

Robert Griffin III Will Start Against Vikings

20120923 lbm sz2 360 standard 1348579472 730 Robert Griffin III Will Start Against Vikings As expected, Robert Griffin III will start today for the Washington Redskins at quarterback. Griffin, who suffered a “mild” concussion last weekend, has said all week long that he was fine and would play for the Redskins this weekend  if/when cleared.

Griffin will be facing a pass rush today led by defensive end Jared Allen that ranks near the top of the league. Lets all hope he has learned that running out of bounds is the smart idea when a play breaks down.

Redskins vs Vikings: Five Things to Look For

219189 10151270609824574 249243365 o 1024x802 Redskins vs Vikings: Five Things to Look For
The Washington Redskins will face the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday at FedEx Field as Washington tries to break it’s current home losing streak, which stands at 8 (a number which stretches back to week two of the 2011 season). This game is a must-win for the Redskins with them heading to New York to take on the Giants next week and Pittsburgh the following week after.

  1. Robert Griffin III - Easily the biggest story-line of them all, Griffin still has yet to be cleared to play this weekend but all signs point to him making a comeback this week from last week’s “mild” concussion. Offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan has already said that the game-plan will stay the same no matter if RGIII plays or not. Griffin’s play making ability is hard to match, so obviously the chances of winning are greater if he is the signal caller who is under center on Sunday.
  2. New Kicker, hopefully better resultsEarlier this week Redskins place kicker Billy Cundiff was released and Kai Forbath was signed to replace him. Forbath, a former Lou Groza award winner from UCLA, has never kicked a field goal in an NFL game but was 5-5 for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in preseason this year. In the last few weeks the kicking game, or lack there of, has taken the wind out of the offense on more than one occasion and has hurt the time as far as momentum has been concerned. The Redskins are hoping Forbath can at least be an answer in short range after Cundiff proved inept in that department.
  3. Containing Percy Harvin – With the Redskins secondary being the weak-link of the unit this year, seeing Harvin lined up across the line should be something that defensive coordinator Jim Haslett worried. Harvin has 38 catches on the season for a total of 407 yards and a touchdown, thing is, Harvin has gotten 77.6 % of his yards after the catch, which is amazing. Washington will need to find an answer to Harvin early or look for a long day on defense.
  4. Pressure on the QB – Minesota finds itself near the top of the league in this department and the Redskins offensive line will need to pay extra attention to defensive end Jared Allen if they want to control the tempo of this game. The Redskins have found themselves in un-familiar territory this year as Brian Orakpo and Adam Carriker both went down early on this year. Second year linebacker Ryan Kerrigan has shined and will need to get to Vikings quarterback Christian Ponder early and often. The defensive unit needs one or more people to step up and give Kerrigan some help if the Redskins are to get any better this year, keep an eye on Barry Cofield and Jarvis Jenkins in this one.
  5. Control the clock –  For Minnesota  this game will mark the first time Adrian Peterson has returned to FedEx Field since a season ending knee injury last year, Peterson’s performance will dictate whatever the Vikings do on offense. For the Redskins they will need to get rookie Alfred Morris going early and make the game as simple as possible for Robert Griffin III to be able to manage without mistakes or injuries. Morris will try to become the first running back in NFL history to rush for 75 or more yards in his first six games, he is tied with Eric Dickerson currently with 5.

Saturday Slop: First Down Issues Lead to Third-Down Problems; Redskins Searching for Safety Valve

Redskins QB Griffin takes more reps; Garcon aching | WashingtonExaminer.com
Coach Mike Shanahan said of Garcon, “It’s lingering for sure. It was enough to where he didn’t take a lot of reps today… It’s painful, that’s why we sat him out. It’s tender and still sore. It’s a pain issue but it’s sore enough to where he can’t push off all the time.”

in search of kickers and quarterbacks | Damn it feels good to be a homer.
*In 2000 alone, the Redskins used a total of five different kickers — Bentley, Conway, Heppner, Husted and Murray. That’s got to be a modern-day record. Which brings us to the newly-signed Kai Forbath, who will be the 19th kicker Washington has turned to since ’94. It’s worth nothing that no other NFL team has used more than 13 kickers during that time frame.

 

‘Skins Have To Improve On 3rd Downs | NBC4 Washington
“Obviously, it’s an area that we have to get better at,” Shanahan told the Washington Post. “You take a combination of killing those drives, being 1-for-9 on third-down and 0-for-2 in the red zone, it’s truly hard to win a football game. “Saying that, there were a number of positives with the way we ran the football. We make a couple of those third downs, just three or four, and keep drives going, you have a chance to have a dominating day. Still had an opportunity to win, even with those crazy stats as they were. But to beat a good football team, we have to play better than that as a whole.”

Need to Know: If RG3 is good to go, he’ll go – Rich Tandler’s Real Redskins
“That’s what we have doctors for. Doctors make those decisions, we don’t. If Robert feels like he’s fine, he’s had no side-effects, he wants to play, he feels good to play…If Robert were to say, “Hey, you know what?  I have a headache,” of course we would do that. That’s why we run all these tests. But why would you not let somebody play if he’s felt good right at the end of the game [and] every day until now?  But if he has these tests after practice today and all of sudden he’s not feeling good or something’s wrong, obviously we’re not going to take the chance.”

 

First down issues lead to third-down problems – Rich Tandler’s Real Redskins
But, regardless of the play call, their third down problems start on first down. They are gaining .55 yards on each first-down passing play in a series that ends up in a third-down situation and .61 yards on each running play. In other words, they are facing second and nine-plus and ending up with third down and, on average, 8.6 yards to go.

The good news is the NFC East is wide open & no team looks clearly better than any other team in the division. After the loss to the Falcons last week, the Redskins are in a must win situation at home this week with the meat of the schedule coming up & 2 straight road games against the Giants & Steelers. It won’t be easy as the Minnesota Vikings look tough this year & are playing some good football.

 

Washington Redskins Keys to the Game: Week 6 | Fanspeak Washington Redskins Blog
This is an important key every week, but is absolutely critical with the Washington Redskins star rookie returning from a concussion. The Redskins need to do whatever it takes to ensure that Robert Griffin III doesn’t take any unnecessary hits. This can be done in multiple ways. First they need to keep the running back in to block on all plays, as the Minnesota Vikings are a team that loves to blitz.

Robert Griffin III Practices, Still Not Cleared to Play for Redskins

20120923 lbm sz2 360 standard 1348579472 730 Robert Griffin III Practices, Still Not Cleared to Play for Redskins
Washington Redskins rookie quarterback Robert Griffin III (or RG3) practiced today, coach Mike Shanahan said “Robert did not take his normal amount of reps, but did take a significant amount.”

RGIII also said that he felt dazed and “out of it” for about 15 minutes or so after the hit he sustained in Sundays game against the Atlanta Falcons, he also said that he hasn’t had any setbacks or symptoms since he left the Redskins locker room that day. Griffin said he tried to get down to the turf too late on the play that resulted in his injury. He also said in  any  similar situation in the future, he will be smarter and get out of bounds or throw the ball away.

Griffin tweeted this message to fans:

Although he is not yet cleared for contact, Griffin remains optimistic that he will play in Sunday’s home game against the 4-1 Minnesota Vikings.   “There’s never a doubt as a player,” Griffin said. Below is a video of Griffin in practice today, courtesy of Andrew Walker of Redskins.com.
