Redskins QB Rex Grossman Says He Can Cut Down On His Interceptions

Redskins quarterback and free-agent-to-be Rex Grossman said Monday morning that he doesn’t know what his future holds, but he is confident that he can cure his ever-present interception bug. Grossman completed 57.9 percent of his passes this season for 3,151 yards and 16 touchdowns but he also threw 20 interceptions and lost five fumbles in 13 games. Offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan has said that for Grossman to succeed in the future, he needs to cut down on his turnovers. When asked if he thought that was possible, Grossman answered confidently. “Definitely,” he said. He said he views interceptions in two categories: those that are his fault and avoidable, and those that are not his fault and can’t be avoided. “There’s times when interceptions are acceptable in a situation where it wasn’t your fault or something happened that you weren’t expecting, or tipped ball or things like that that happen to you that are just completely not your fault. Those are acceptable,” Grossman said. “Those are things you can’t control and as a coaching staff, as you evaluate the whole season, they’ll definitely take those into account, and you can’t prevent those as a quarterback."

As the resident Rex apologist, I would simply point to the talent -- or lack there of -- that he had to work with this season.

The O-line sucks and the receievers are mediocre at best. His starting WRs are both over 30. After a They even had Donte Stallworth starting at one point -- a guy who that had just cut a week before.

For the last month of the season, Rex had nameless tight ends to throw to because Cooley and Davis were both out for the year. His starting RB (Hightower) went down for the season early on and the backup RB (Torain) was so good that he was cut before the season ended.

If Rex had a wealth of talent around him and still threw 20 INTs to 16 TDs, then pinning the Redskins woes on him would be somewhat valid, but the cupboard is pretty bare around him when it comes to talent on offense.

Other than that, you might have to be willing to know that you might miss on a big play. Not to play hesitant, but there are situations where you don’t have to be 100 percent on making those big plays that are there to be made. If you’re willing to live with a couple of those in a season, blame the rest on tipped balls, then I think you’ll cut down on your interception percentage a lot.”
