Houston completely stuffed R.G. III and the Washington Redskins by a score of 17 to 6 Sunday. Robert Griffin the Third not only has to overcome solid knee injuries, he needs to overcome the name of the team that is currently in popular in Boston and other liberal centers of protest against inappropriate symbolism. Houston's all-pro defensive genius tackle J.J. Watts led the tough Texan defense to stuff the D.C. entry into the brain battering league. That issue raises another point.
Why do colleges and the N.F.L. continue to give scholarships to good football players that aren't motivated by academics and will at best read graphic novels after they graduate? That policy deprives good students of scholarships and promotes an alumni of thugs and anti-intellectual bureaucrats yearning to repress intellectuals any way they can think of.

R.G. III could use a good runner to relieve him of the pressure to run for-himself so much. When a quarterback leaves the pocket except on an occasional roll out he is exposing his throwing arm and muscle coordination onto the dice table. A pure passer should be a smooth operator with machine-like accuracy instead of a brain-damaged O.J. running over and around opposition who might throw the ball inaccurately now and then.
Coaches shouldn't seek to make defensive lines look good. They are a Maginot line to the coordinated blitkreigs of the N.F.L. staffed with balanced air and ground attack.
