I’m not sure if it was exactly a Cronkite moment, but Robert Griffin III lost Sonny Jurgensen on Sunday. At least twice.
The first time came in the third quarter, when the Redskins trailed 24-0 and had accomplished virtually nothing in their passing game.
“Why not play Cousins?” Jurgensen asked during the Redskins Radio Network broadcast, heard locally on ESPN 980.
“Robert’s in the game, he turns, he gives it to Alfred Morris on the run, gains a yard,” Larry Michael said. “You’re gonna pull the plug already, huh?”
“It’s not pulling the plug, it’s getting a change,” Jurgensen said. “Make a change. Can it be any worse? You get four yards passing in a half? I would look at the other quarterback, see if he can make something happen. It’s not the end of the world. They take out pitchers, don’t they?”
“They do take out pitchers,” Chris Cooley agreed. “Having a bad game, have a seat.”
“Having a bad game,” Jurgensen continued. “The curveball’s not breaking.” from the washingtonpost.com
