denver goes up three. steelers down six with two to play. ben roethlisberger trying to make something happen. but he is picked off by tracy porter. he takes it all the way for the pick six. that seals the win for the broncos. they get their first win of the peyton manning era in denver, 31-19. broncos. top pick andrew luck, manning s replacement in indianapolis, making his first nfl start against the bears. there were more than a few growing pains. luck in the red zone trying to find reggie wayne for the score. pass is tipped off. one of three interceptions thrown on the day by luck. colts lose andrew luck s debut in a rout, 41-21. robert griffin iii, rg3, one of a record five rookie quarterbacks starting week one. he made it look easy against the saints. first quarter, hits pierre garcon. nice grab. and he is gone. 88 yards for the touchdown. rg3, his first career touchdown pass. he throws for two scores, 320 yards, leading the skins to a
in denver and what rg3, the guy you passed over, did in new orleans, you have to be wondering, are we sure we did the right thing on both counts? rg3 was incredible against the saints. i don t understand how anybody passes up rg3 for andrew luck. we will see. andrew luck is a very good quarterback. what makes rg3 so good? he s got the whole package, a rocket arm, ee very mobile later laterally, vertically. the shanahans have adjusted their offense to this guy. it used to be very ridgie i reg. and he s smart, too. he did one of those read option plays like tim tebow does, mike vick does, and he ran up the middle into daylight, and he slid when he got his first down. he didn t try to extend it. you try to avoid contact. you don t get injured. he s already showing that savvy of a guy who s been playing for a long time. mike vick s been playing for a long time and he can t slide. mike vick just keeps getting hammered. what about that yesterday? four interceptions.
either the reductions were tolerable or he would be able to prevent them to give him the benefit of the doubt. paul has done once he realized the situation he s done everything he could to prevent them. the president has not shown leadership on this at all. he s the one that troops look to protect them and he s failed in this. senator talent, thank you very much for being with us today. thank you, andrea. now something completely different, an amr moment, new era for redskins football, started with a bang defying all odds the number two draft pick, rg3 threw more than 300 yards and two touchdowns defeating drew brees in the superdome. it s crazy and the guys told me it was going to be like that. the loudest place i ve ever played in. but why not. it s new orleans, louisiana, and it s the superdome. we came out, played big in a big arena, big stage and did a good job. they sure did. at the u.s. open serena williams battled back in the third set to
stephen h. smith trashes tebow every day. you think he should be cut? no, i don t. go with mark sanchez. tebow has the least amount of skills. but we love the guy. he s a wonderful guy. there s nothing wrong with tim tebow the man but tim tebow the quarterback leaves something to be desired. what do you think of rg3? oh i love this guy. he s a can t miss guy. they re both special. they re going to light this league up for a long time. i m happy they re around. i love quarterbacks. this was so much fun. it was very good to have you.
night? there s a guy from my home state of west virginia that went 15th overall, bruce irvin. and i heard some buzz that a lot of people had him in the top 15, but some people were shocked. but everybody is throwing the football. one way to keep that from happening is knocking down the quarterback. were people concerned with the character or something? he has a rough background. he had an arrest a couple of weeks ago in morgantown. but they vet all of that out. turn over every rock. and ultimately you take a chance, because talent overcomes things like that. we have to go. alex is yelling in my ear. but would you have taken andrew luck before rg3? i hate to say this because luck is a west virginia guy too, but there is something about rg3 that seems extra special. i think it was a colossal mistake by indianapolis. i may eat those words next year. but rg3, that s who you build a franchise around. i can t wait to watch him play. but now dan snyder has
