Speaking with ESPN on Wednesday, the second-year Washington signal-caller said that he will try to draw late-hit penalties on defensive players by using their instincts and the NFL rules to his advantage. In particular, he will step out of bounds when he sees a defender charging and suspects that guy isn't going to slow up.


quote:

"There will be situations, and that's why guys don't want to pull up," he told ESPN. "It's happened in the past with Mike Vick or someone like that who has run to the sidelines, stopped and then gotten 20 more yards because the guy runs out of bounds trying not to hit the quarterback."

You would think this guy wouldn't want to show his hand to all 31 teams in the league

you hit him, he steps out - you pull up, he darts... knowing that doesnt change anything.

but be sure the refs took note and he might not get that borderline call as quick this weekend.

Receivers don't physically exaggerate and hit the ground the way other athletes do upon contact, but the amount of whining they do after just a little bit of contact (or none at all) is soccer-caliber already.

I like RG3, but this kinda pisses me off. He shouldn't be this open about baiting secondary players, they may start going for his knees.

Agreed. Even if this is his tactic, which is kind of bush league, but I get it, why the hell would he announce this to other team and the officials like this? Other than to say look how smart I am (while actually proving how dumb he is)?

Exactly. I don't want to hear no bitching from Griffin in the future about "refs don't call hits on me like dey do for white quarterbacks."

Receivers automatically to the one have flag toss motion now on any play and dbs automatically do the two palms up motion
