It ain’t the hard shots, it’s the cumulative effect of constant hits while running the football. RBs only last 3-4 years for a reason…

A. Rodgers of G.B. might not make it the entire year if he stays in the pocket. QB’s take harder shots staying in the pocket than RGIII does running.

Tuck is absolutely right.

I’d love to see some of these guys’ academic scores who comment here. The American education system is an abject failure. No one can comprehend; just take the defensive stance regardless of what it is said.

At no point did Tuck assert that merely removing the starting QB makes them weaker. He, whether patently articulate or not, intimated that subjecting Griffin to as many hits as he does in that read-option (plus the downfield pass and the runs where he’s taken big hits) isn’t conducive to the long-term health of the team’s franchise player.

How David Carr and all the other (un)clever nonsense that most of you have spouted off on here, came about, is beyond me.

Surprised no one has pointed out that the Giants wouldn’t win without Eli either or that the Redskins beat them twice last year.

Wow Mr. Tuck,

You are talking like you see him as some sort of MVP. I mean, if they are so awful without him. Know what I’m say in’?

All the people bringing up David Carr coming in for Eli…

No one was afraid of Jeff Hostetler in 1990 either. He seemed to do the job pretty well when Simms went down.

You’re right Tuck….I mean I forgot….Everyone has 2 Andre Johnsons, Calvin Johnsons, Hakeem Nicks, Drew Brees, Eli Mannings, Peyton Mannings, Matt Ryans,

Need I go on? Stupid way to think Tuck….Stupid. Skins will beat the Giants Monday night and stay relevant.

Giants lost to Rex Grossman twice … Worry about that Tuck .. Secondly why is it that the giants players who continuously talk each week is a defensive end … Tuck, Osi, and JPP … They should hire a spokesperson between them

The concern stems from the fact that the Giants D line is losing their collective “Subway” endorsements to RGIII. Go team Jared!

Wow thanks for stating the obvious Tuck, any team would be in trouble if their starter went down. But wait didn’t the Redskins 3rd stringer beat your team twice last year? Yeah, I believe all trash talking should be by a team that didn’t get beat by Rex Grossman twice in one year

eli has never missed a game in his career, so why would the giants have to worry about their backup?

No, Eli is invinsible, like Iron Man.

Funny, because Rex Grossman beat the giants twice last
year in that offense.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Skins went 5 and 11 lasy year and the Giants won the Superbowl

Is it still Funny?
_________________
That is why it’s funny. If the Redskins beat the Giants twice and won the Super Bowl, while the Giants went 5-11, it wouldn’t be at all interesting, but because it was the other way around, it’s hilarious. Not important; significant; or something anybody’s going to remember 15 years from now, just very, very funny.

harharharhar put david carr in and see how many games the giants win… now i’m original just like the rest of you.

eli has never missed a game in his career, so why would the giants have to worry about their backup? eli’s playing style doesn’t exactly put him in harm’s way. he is among the least-sacked quarterback in the league every year. RG3 has already sustained a concussion due to his playing style, and a few weeks after the concussion his coach still asked him to streak down the sideline and get leveled by ryan clark.

All this talk is nonsense. And I am not even defending or siding with his comment. But it also is something that he or some of his teammates haven’t done in the past. AGREE Skin fans?

Oh, I am sorry, I forgot, other players, specially Skins players, NEVER talk before the lead up to any game.

Whatever! All of this back and forth with us fans will be regardless come Tuesday morning or, more importantly, come January when one of these teams aren’t playing anymore.

I think all of you miss the point while trying to be snarky with you’re remarks. You don’t see the giants sending eli out on fly routes to get hung out to dry for Ryan Clark. I think Eli’s run for that first down last week was the longest in his career.

Tuck is saying that the design of the offense is predicated around RG3s ability to put pressure on the defense.

If the Skins had to go to the back up they would have to change their entire offense to a more traditional pro style offense. Right now the Skins are running a glorified college read option.
====================================
The zone read is only a small percentage of what the Skins run, the formations do have a college look but that’s by design. The actual plays that they run out of those formations are the same core Shanny plays he’s run for years.

All you talking bad about David Carr, watch out. As a Niner fan I remember him coming in for Smith against Carolina, I’m telling you he almost got a first down that game, it was so close.

I disagree with Tuck’s assessment of the Redskins’ offense. RGIII does make the offense dynamic, but it is the run game that makes this offense go. Like most NFL QBs, and good run game makes for better protection, and better protection makes a better QB. Without the success of the run game, RGIII would struggle. The coaches are calling plays brilliantly for RGIII, giving him simple reads. Because of the run game, receivers are open and the young QB doesn’t have to go through many progressions. Stop the run and keep him in the pocket, he will struggle, but that is easier said than done.

@bigbluenation your team is setup to stop teams like GB and the Pats pass happy teams. Y’all struggle when a team lines up and makes all those pass rushers play run.

The concussion seems to have taught RG3 a lesson. Since that game he hasn’t taken any real bad shots except for Steelers ( flipped) and Dallas ( in pocket result touchdown) other than that he hasn’t ran the ball that many times and when he has he is getting down or going out of bounds. He is a pocket passer that runs when he has to. Tuck seems like he is using reverse psychology he knows the giants have trouble stopping the run. Can’t wait for Monday!!! HTTR!!!

These Giants are spending an awful lot of time thinking and talking about RGIII. Seems like he’s really gotten into their heads. Good, keep blabbering, because the more you do, the weaker you look.
