RG3 is back and apparently ready to go. The question stills remains, as it even did when he was healthy in week one, is Griffen’s grasp on this new offense. He didn’t seem to fully get it week one against the Texans, but he has had plenty of weeks holding that clipboard and studying film to understand it a little better at this point. Zimmer and Gruden know each other well, but this time when they face off they will have their own teams to throw up against one another. The Vikings defense has improved drastically, but their offense has yet to really click. The Skins on the other hand have had some excellent offensive performances and will look for another one with RG3 behind center this week.
RG3 had a great game his rookie season at Minnesota and will look to do so once again this week with his return to the field. I would’ve let Colt start one more game and let RG3 return after the bye week, but Washington apparently feels that Griffen is ready to go. The last two times the Redskins have made the playoffs they went on viscous winning streaks, so the Vikings will stand in their way this week for win #3. I’m expecting a low scoring, defensive battle as RG3 gets used to running this offense.
