Why running backs won't look the ball into their hands and instead turn and look upfield before they catch the ball is beyond me. It happens with such regularity.

I think it's just twitch conditioning native to the position. They are used to having to react immediately, and it's usually their feet that do the reacting. Not their hands. Just think of the mechanics and assesment they have to do when taking of a handoff compared to what a receiver has to when a long lob is coming in over their shoulder. Two incredibly different skill/mindsets at play there.

RB is all eyes on the field and WR is all eyes on the ball.

ASHBURN, Va. -- Robert Griffin III will get more tests on his injured right knee after an MRI proved inconclusive because of a previous ACL tear.
Washington Redskins coach Mike Shanahan said Monday that the rookie quarterback will travel Tuesday to see orthopedist James Andrews for more examinations.
Griffin tore his ACL while playing at Baylor in 2009, and Shanahan said sometimes an old injury can cloud the results of an MRI.
If Griffin has torn the ACL again, he would likely require a rehabilitation period of nine to 12 months, putting his status for next season in jeopardy.
Griffin reinjured his knee twice in Sunday's playoff loss to Seattle.

that one statement sickens me the most. Emphasis mine, of course. 😡
 
Shanahan deserves reprimanding. I just cannot explain his decisions regarding RGIII's injury. I understand wanting to win the game but put the franchise at stake? He needs someone to punch him like a brother. Let him know he's still wanted but not to do that again. Fuck.
