Robert Griffin III Leaves Game With Stinger, Possible Concussion (GIF)
The Detroit Lions had a good start to their preseason with a 23-3 victory over the New York Jets at Ford Field last Thursday.
In 2014, the player with the third-highest amount of receiving yards was Joique Bell with 322, followed closely by Theo Riddick. Matthew Stafford is a veteran quarterback trying to prove his critics wrong and take his team to the next level. The rookie rusher carried the ball seven times for 67 yards (9.5 YPC) and displayed good speed and vision.
His most impressive moment came on a 45-yard run that Darrelle Revis prevented from being a touchdown.
Even though it is preseason, there is no shortage of great storylines. “I think that if you build yourself a strong defense and a good running game, you’re going to be in a lot of football games”. Head coach Jim Caldwell is looking for improvement across the board in preseason game No. 2. Ever a better reason to miss a preseason game? If he continues impressing, he’ll fill a big need for the Lions in the regular season. In the end, the Lions are likely hoping that Ebron takes the next step and fills in this role. The Lions defense looked solid, holding the Jets to only 123 yards of total offense.
Griffin’s numbers were not pretty during his short stint on the field.
The former No. 1 pick looked sharp in his only series against the Jets. The duo hooked up for two passes and 57 yards, one went for a touchdown. McCoy’s big key: Don’t throw interceptions. Griffin finished the night 4-of-8 passing for 36 yards at just 4.5 yards per pass attempt. To be fair, New York had to scramble once quarterback Geno Smith was socked in the face earlier in the week, but he wouldn’t have played much anyway.
The quarterback’s play in recent years has been a source of criticism among the media and fanbase.
Orlovsky was the more crisp of the two. “We would like to get some work in there but Compton is a good option”.
Similarly to our outlook for the offense, we will go through each unit projecting their grades for the regular season and then develop a projected Week 1 Depth Chart (which will NOT included the suspended Baushad Breeland).
Everyone is aware that Ndamukong Suh is no longer a member of the Lions.
The rookie played left tackle in college but was moved to the right side and struggled. Jay Gruden is confident in Griffin and clearly RG3 is confident in himself.
“You know, we saw him at the rookie camp and were excited to see him play for the first time”, Gruden said. All three players will be fighting hard for a roster spot.
He has a ton of upside, and the team is hoping he can solidify the offensive line.
Now, things could’ve been much different for the Redskins had quarterback Robert Griffin III and Pierre Garçon been able to hook up on a wide open 60-plus-yard touchdown pass that was dropped on Washington’s first drive. In Washington it looks like that the job is Kurt Cousins’ to lose. Gruden has won four of five since taking over the Redskins.
