Yates and Sean Renfree. Neither stood out in the first two preseason games, and Yates has struggled both in practice and live action. Falcons coach Dan Quinn said Grossman impressed with his quick release during a Tuesday workout. Grossman threw passes to undrafted rookies Marquez Clark and John Harris. I'm actually also looking forward to seeing T. Every chance we get to come and battle and compete, we're going to do that, at all positions. Quinn said Grossman will start practicing with the team Wednesday but will not play in Saturday's preseason game against the Miami Dolphins.
Current Falcons offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan worked with Grossman for four seasons with the Redskins and also with the Cleveland Browns last season before the quarterback was released in late August. He never flinched. He'd hang in there and take all the hits.
He'd let it sling every time. Sometimes I'd have to tell Rex that he was letting it sling around a little too much and that you might have to take a sack here or throw it away.
But the thing I loved about Rex is how much he competed. Grossman, who has 47 career starts, brings to the Falcons an experienced veteran presence. He has career completions on 1, attempts That group included Jim McMahon at No. A first-round pick of the Bears in out of Florida, Grossman struggled with both injuries and consistency while in Chicago.
He spent six years in Chicago, appearing in 36 games with 31 starts, throwing for 6, yards with 33 touchdowns and 35 interceptions. Despite some shaky numbers, he did go as a starter for Chicago. In his lone Super Bowl start, Grossman was abysmal. While he did complete 20 of his 28 passes, he only threw for yards with one touchdown and two interceptions and ended the game with a He also had two fumbles that rainy night in Miami.
It is the offensive line. Nearly every turnover the offense committed in the final three games came from the QB being rushed in the pocket, with the QB either forced to fumble or throw a bad pass.
When Grossman did have time to throw the ball effectively, he managed the offense well and moved the chains with better efficiency than "Super 5" ever did. Here are some reasons why Rex Grossman should be named the starter for Washington in Last year, in the final three games under Grossman, the Redskins offense caught a spark in the second half in Dallas, scoring four passing touchdowns. Next, they pulled off a win against a playoff contender in Jacksonville and gave a desperate Giants team a run for their money in the season finale.
In the Giants game, the Redskins consistently drove into Giants territory, only to cough up the ball with a fumble. If they would have been able to pull off a field goal before fumbling on one of those drives, the game goes to overtime and the Redskins are looking at a possible record.
He was able to move the ball pretty well for a backup and with solid protection, they get those field goals and maybe more. Rex Grossman put up better numbers than Donovan McNabb did when taken in perspective. In only three games starting, compared to Donovan's thirteen, Grossman threw half the amount of touchdown passes that McNabb did and only a fourth of the interceptions.
The offense seemed to move smoother under Grossman, as he delivered passes that were catchable to the receiver in both placement and velocity. With his back to his own end zone, McNabb tried to muscle the ball to Santana Moss, who couldn't bring in the overpowered pass, resulting in the ball popping into the air and an interception.
McNabb also made a habit of throwing the ball at the receiver's feet making it a harder pass to catch. Chris Cooley fell victim to many under-thrown passes. Grossman's passes weren't perfect, but they were thrown at catchable speeds and more accurate placement.
