Now that Robert Griffin III, better known as RG3, is now out of the NFL, his former Redskins coach, Mike Shanahan, is speaking out on what he thinks about the situation. During a recent stop on Undisputed, Shanahan told the hosts that he blamed himself for not getting through to Griffin.
“I’ll be honest with you, I was really disappointed in myself. I knew where Robert [Griffin III] was going. I knew where his dad was going. I knew where Dan Snyder was going. It was up to my to convince this guy that, ‘hey, if you don’t run, your drop-back game is not there now, but you can get there. I blame myself for not getting to the kid.”
Shanahan then doubled down on his previous statements about RG3, “In his mind, he really believed he was Aaron Rodgers. I said, ‘Y’know what? You’re not Aaron Rodgers and Aaron Rodgers is not you, or Peyton Manning. But in time, you can learn the drop-back game and you will get better. But you’ve got to do some of the things that you did your rookie year, just to keep the defenses off of you.”
