Sorry to hear about Griffin but that is the danger when using a gameplan which has several plays designed for the QB to take the ball in a situation that increases the likelihood of him being tackled in possession. Kind of the point I was making before. If you're paying a guy $5m or so a year for ten years, you should be protecting that investment. Scramble and have the odd play but I think in the NFL you need to base your running game around the RB/FB. It's too dangerous.
I know RGIII's is more down to him already being injured but that injury came about on a crazy scramble on a lousy pitch (he twisted his knee as the grass went from under him a bit didn't he) because he's a competitor. Jim McMahon was one of the crazier ones and I've seen him go head first more than a couple of times, but not much more. Even he wasn't that crazy to test his block of wood against a Ronnie Lott.
As for this weekend. Not sure. Justin Smith is supposed to back for us. If he is fit enough to be effective that makes it a harder game to win. That said, I think we're 1-4 against the Packers in the play offs and they have beaten us at our place as well. Including playoff games we're 2-14 against them over the past sixteen years. Could be another belter.
The Catch 2 - Terrell Owens on YT to relive that epic wild card game.
