ALL the former coaches and ESPN guys do not disagree with me. ESPN’s Dan Graziano also had harsh words for Mike Shanahan, noting that the Redskins coach was already taking heat for playing Robert Griffin III against the advice of team doctor James Andrews. Graziano wrote:
“The problems (plural) begin with the fact it wasn’t true. Griffin was injured. He entered the game injured, still wearing a brace to protect against further injury from the ligament sprain he suffered four weeks earlier in Baltimore. Sunday morning, a USA Today story quoted Redskins team physician James Andrews saying he was ‘a nervous wreck’ letting Griffin play so soon after the injury. When Griffin clearly aggravated the injury on a first-and-goal pass attempt in the first quarter Sunday, alarm bells should have been going off, and Griffin’s bravado should not have been enough to silence them. Not for the coach who traded three first-round picks and a second-round pick to get him and who’s charged with the care and maintenance of his long-term health.”
Gee, that guy from ESPN sounds almost like me.
How's it going for ya?
