RICHMOND, Va. -- During a 7-on-7 drill in shorts at Washington Redskins training camp, Robert Griffin III rolled left and couldnt find an open receiver. He started to scramble, saw a lane and ran for 15 yards. Then he hit the turf, with typical RG3 flair. He performed a half-speed slide and rolled over to protect the ball. The crowd went wild. It was perhaps the biggest cheer hes heard for any play yet during camp. "I just thought everybody would love it if I just slid in practice for once," Griffin said. "And I went ahead and did that. I find it easier to slide in football pants than shorts. It was a little harder, but I slid and everybody liked it." Even coach Mike Shanahan laughed. "I thought it was good. ... Its got to become automatic," Shanahan said. "No matter what you do, there has got to be an emphasis there. The players got to believe in it. They have got to think it. If you use it do it in practice, it happens in games." Its an odd sight when people drive hundreds of miles to holler for their favourite player to take it easy, but many in the crowd at camp are content to sit back and watch Griffin sit back and watch, yelling things like: "RG3, take care of that knee" and "We dont need you to play in preseason." They naturally cheer when he does get to throw, but they already know he can do that. Theyre still waiting for him to master the slide. Griffin has been kept out of the main 11-on-11 drills during the first few days of camp in the homestretch of his recovery from reconstructive right knee surgery. Protecting the knee is more important that perfecting the fade route, even if the quarterback is chomping at the bit to accelerate the process. "Its not easy to sit around and watch," Griffin said Monday. "I call it Operation Patience. Griffin said he has "no pain" and "no swelling" in his right knee. He says he can plant on the leg the way he did before he first injured it last season. He said hes always forgetting to put on his brace, which he is supposed to wear during practices and games all season. "I dont really worry about my leg anymore," he said. "I just play football." To that end, Griffin feels hes ready to do more than he is allowed. During the portions of practice devoted to special teams, he goes to a separate field and runs through a scaled-down version of the plays he missed during the 11-on-11s. He said got a "little bump-up" in work during Monday mornings walkthrough, although Shanahan said that wasnt the case. Regardless, Griffin wont join the 11-on-11 drills in the main practice until next week at the earliest. "I feel like Im ready for that -- but were being real cautious right now and taking it slow," Griffin said. "Thats what Coach wants to do." Shanahan said the unpredictability of 11-on-11 play makes it dicey for a player coming back from two bad ligaments. "If you put a guy in there too early and he doesnt have that full strength, you could lose that ACL, LCL just like that," said Shanahan, snapping his fingers. "Were not going to do that." Notes: CB DeAngelo Hall slipped and hurt his right ankle while defending a pass during the afternoon practice. He had the ankle taped and returned for a few plays before sitting out the rest of the session. He was scheduled for X-rays. "I dont think its really serious," Shanahan said. ...
