Michael Vick and Robert Griffin III have different offensive approach, says New York Giants’ Antrel Rolle
New York Giants safety Antrel Rolle has said that it is difficult to compare quarterbacks Michael Vick and Robert Griffin III (RG3) as they both have different offensive approach.
Vick, who was incredible when he was young and joined the league, is a veteran now, while RG3 is into his rookie season.
Giants faced Vick-led Eagles offence earlier in the season and lost the game. They will take on RG3-led Redskins offence this Sunday.
Rolle, who made two tackles against Eagles, is up for performing even better against RG3. He can do so because he is coming off a remarkable game in which he recorded six tackles against San Francisco 49ers and intercepted their quarterback Alex Smith twice.
Talking to WFAN-AM, Rolle said of comparing Vick and RG3, via The Star-Ledger:
"I haven't watched too much film on RG3 yet. I've just seen highlights and this, that and the other. But, of course, they're different. They're two totally different quarterbacks and I think that their game as far as their offensive approach is extremely
different.”
The Giants safety added:
“RG3, as you know, he can run the ball. I think he runs the ball a lot more than Michael Vick. I mean, he's a fast guy. He has a very, very strong arm and I think he's an all-around quarterback and he's going to get better with time."
Like every other rookie, RG3 is fond of running. He even has some scores to his name that justify his running game, but he has also received injuries due to it.
As Rolle has also pointed out, RG3 prefers running a lot. However, he should note that it can hurt his performance in longer run. Other rookie quarterbacks also rush a lot, but RG3 seems to have beaten them all.
The rookie must learn from Vick, who has developed into a matured quarterback. That being said, RG3 should not take inspiration from Vick’s present season because the Eagles have not lived up to the expectations so far and Vick has also struggled with his
accuracy.
Vick and RG3 are also going to face each other this season.
