Osi Umenyiora Trash Talking RG3

Anytime you were a really good and hyped player in college, you are almost always going to meet some resistance once you reach the pros because you really haven’t accomplished anything in their league yet. RG3 met his first bit of verbal resistance on Wednesday when Giants defensive linemen Osi Umonyiora talked some trash on a radio show about Griffin saying:

“Who is this RG3 guy you guys keep talking about?” Umenyiora said. “You talking about Bob Griffin? You guys are giving him a cool nickname already and everything. When he does anything in the NFL we’re gonna call him RG3. Right now he’s Bob Griffin.”  Read more...

Yesterday was the mark of a very good day for football fans in the Nation’s capital as it was the first day of training camp for our Washington Redskins. This is where I should probably produce some inspiring and uplifting speech about how RG3 is here and he will bring football back to D.C.! Unfortunately thats not really my style, but I will tell you to expect a lot of posts and thoughts on the Skins in the upcoming weeks because obviously they are getting underway and with so many players there is really just an inordinate amount of things to talk about. Whether its position battles, things/players to watch for the season or just general predictions, I will make sure to have it all for you here at the great and wonderful Beltway Sports Blog!  Read more...

Redskins Name RG3 Official Starter

Yesterday the Redskins made it official that our #2 pick in the draft was and is going to the starting Quarterback on September 9th when we open up the season against the Jonathon Vilma less New Orleans Saints. Shanahan’s official statement was “He’s the starter. Period.”. So I would say that is he is pretty emphatic about RG3 starting for the team considering he is usually fairly guarded about his responses with the media. Shanahan had been non-committal since the draft about RG3 being named starter but after the rookie mini camp this weekend where RG3 apparently looked impressive (as impressive as somebody can look in a rookie minicamp), he decided it was time to make the announcement.  Read more...

I hope you all had a Merry Griffmas. Here are my pick by pick grades for the Redskins 2012 draft:

(2) Robert Griffin III, QB: A+
I will always say that they could have gotten the #2 overall pick by giving up less, but that being said I do love the potential that RG3 brings to the table, and I think he should be a really good match for the Shanahan’s system. Besides the few snickers about him being selfish right before the draft, which sure seems like former high school teammates simply being petty, there is almost nothing negative to say about this guy. This is the most excited I have been about the Redskins offense in literally my entire life.  Read more...

Mock Draft 2.0

Just one more day until round 1 of the 2012 NFL draft gets underway and outside of the top two picks, anything can happen. Now that the rookie wage scale has lowered the risk of first round picks, we may see more trade action this year than we have in a long time. With that said this year’s draft should be a lot of fun, here’s my best guess…

 

1. Indianapolis Colts – Top 3 Needs: QB, DT, CB

Selection: Andrew Luck, QB, Stanford

2. Washington Redskins – Top 3 Needs: QB, WR, OL  Read more...
