Jaws concerned about Robert Griffin III’s mechanics
By Mike Dyce
ESPN analyst and former NFL quarterback Ron Jaworski was being interviewed on ESPN Radio’s Mike and Mike in the Morning show when he made some interesting observations about Washington Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III.
“I was watching him throw the football — there were a few clips — and I was concerned in the weight transfer,” he said, via Pro Football Talk. “I didn’t see the clean mechanics I’ve seen in the past. I’m not there every day, I’m not a doctor, but he just looks a little different right now. It’s pregame, it was warmup, people can discount that. I’m just saying from my eye, I didn’t see the clean drops, the weight transfer, stay on that back foot, snap the hips, that I’d seen out of him.”
That ACL injury has Jaws worried about his mobility and ability to run, a integral part of his success in his rookie season.
“I really don’t know what to expect,” Jaworski said. “His mobility has always set him apart and I’m not sure where his mobility is going to be.”
Of course we all saw how an ACL injury held back Adrian Peterson last year.
