RG3 Excels vs. Extra Rushers
"One area rookie quarterbacks usually struggle with is handling extra pass rushers. Andrew Luck has been no exception, but Robert Griffin III? His 97.9 Total QBR against at least five pass rushers is the best in the NFL."

Giants defensive end Osi Umenyiora has given the Redskins' rookie sensation a new title –- one typically reserved for knights.
"His name is Sir," said Umenyiora, who was born in London. "His name is Sir Robert Griffin. That is what I refer to him now.
I have noticed that as well. Hopefully he keeps it up. And we really need our defense to continue stepping up there game this week. This is a must have game if we are going to continue to make a playoff run. Cause if we lose this I dont think we have a chance.
We have to beat the Giants. If we can't beat them, what good is it making the playoffs since that is the type of team we would have to go through anyway.Originally Posted by BamaSkins
I would be perfectly satisfied to win our final 7 games total and miss the playoffs because of how we played earlier in the season than to lose this game and somehow back in because of other teams losing as well. A 7 game win streak to close the season with victories against the Giants and Ravens in there would set us up well to be a contender for next season.
hmm . . . RGIII's ability to beat the blitz is something we have been missing for a long time . . . that was always the formula for beating the skins . . . pressure the QB into making mistakes, and they did, ALL the time . . . now we have a young, smart QB with a super quick release and amazing escape ability and its making all the difference on offense . . .
and ISF . . . no way we don't make the playoffs if we real of 7 straight . . . (extraordinarily small anyway)
True, I just don't want a repeat of 2005 and 2007 where we go in as a 6 seed with no realistic chance of making any noise in the playoffs. I want to be hot heading into the playoffs and loses to NYG and Baltimore would say we are not ready for primetime.
while i can agree with this to a point, i would still enjoy playing in the playoffs . . . even if we loose . . . but definitely would MUCH rather plow in than sneak in . . .
Seems to play better when the games are nationally televised too!

Well as most of you know, RG3 is still leading the league against the pass rush.
