If you get a last second timeout request (like in jets game), you grant it.

 

You don't have time to turn around and see who is calling it.

 

That's BS. The guy on the sideline's job is to know where the HC is so that if the TO request happens, he knows if it's from the HC or not.

blame mornhinweg, not the ref

 

given that the whistle was blown, how is anyone to know if the defense wasn't caught off guard anyway

By the fact that they almost got to the QB and the DB was fighting the WR for the ball in the end zone.

 

And the ref is to blame, he's the one who didn't so his job right.

According to the RedZone guy, it's "only" a dislocated ankle for RGIII. That can't be more than a few weeks out at most, right? May be the first time I've ever heard of a dislocated ankle.

 

No, that's honestly probably worse than a break. Ankle ligaments take forever to heal and in many cases are never the same again. A break probably would have been a shorter recovery period.

 

I just broke my ankle a week ago in similar fashion playing soccer. Your ankle dislocates because the tibia and fibula (ans sometimes the talus) are broken. He may or may not have ligament damage, but I'd be shocked if that wasn't broken. Watch his ankle roll outward -- This kind of injury is also known as a syndesmotic injury, or, more commonly, a high ankle sprain.The Deltoid ligament on the inside may also sprained or torn as part of the transfer of stress from the injury. This requires surgery. In my case, ORIF (open reduction and internal fixation) where they open your leg, put your bones back into place, and fix things with screws and plates. How many depends on the damage.

 

Healing is pretty straightforward. You're in a temporary plaster cast held in place with ace bandages for 1-2 weeks, with immobilization in a boot for another 4-5 weeks. While in the boot, you can do flexibility exercises -- but no weight on the ankle. After 6 weeks, you are out of the boot and can start walking again. Normal estimated healing is 3 months, depending on level of care. Assume that RGIII is a fast healer with the best care, and he could possibly be back in December.

So the fact that the DB was fighting for the ball means the defense wasn't caught off guard?

 

And Mornhinweg did do his job right?

 

I'm sorry but if someone deserves some slack in this situation it's the ref who has to make the call there with 60 thousand screaming fans and a ticking clock who shouldn't have to worry about figuring out if the wrong coach is calling a timeout behind him.

What if he locates the coach and there's a player or assistant coach standing right beside him? Ref hears "timeout" being hollered from the location of the head coach (not realizing it's coming from an assistant or player) and blows the play dead. That's different from this exact situation, but is an example of why I think Pereira is right and you don't blame the ref in this situation.

A little factoidish nugget is that Kirk Cousins changed his jersey in the offseason. We all knew he was a bluecollar guy who didnt mind putting in overtime, but now Im going to start calling Cousins "The Graveyard Shift" because he went from 12-8.

 

Lets be honest this isnt the first time that a NFL QB has gotten sloppy second's on a 8 that was draped all over Rex Grossman, but it is the first time that they didnt get chlamydia from it.

The one about Trestman was good as well:

 

Marc Trestman looks like hes had more then one sitdown with Brian Williams and carrys around a sixer of Mikes Hard Lemonade and condoms.

The real PFT comments under the latest RGIII story are pretty good, but I'm not sure if it's genuine stupidity or people hijacking it like they did with Joe Morgan's chats.

Thought this was a good bit of info from Bill Barnwell:

 

Every other example of a dislocated ankle I can find resulted in a season-ending injury. In many cases, the injury occurred to a bigger, slower player who had his ankle rolled up in a crowd, resulting in a dislocated ankle and other damage. That includes guys like J.D. Walton, Eric Foster, and Connor Barwin. A noncontact dislocated ankle might be unprecedented. It might insinuate that there’s less damage and that the return timetable might be quicker, but we’ll know more after today’s MRI.

[Careless]

Eagles have scored 6 points in the first two first halves combined.

Barring a disaster the Eagles are about to complete a Bears-type comeback win

Terrible meltdown by the Colts. Sproles just destroyed their defense

I'm amazed he didn't break his ankle. The stress that occurs in a dislocation is enormous -- RGIII must have incredibly strong ankles. I hope he didn't tear anything in there, and can make a comeback in 6-10 weeks.

Definitely nice work by Sproles -- but that was abysmal officiating on the UR -- Horsecollar and the non-call interference/contact that led to the interception. Also: 4th and 5? Go for it.
