The RG3 reclamation project may not be going quite as well as hoped in Cleveland.

Bleacher Report’s Jason Cole reports that Cleveland Browns head coach Hue Jackson is concerned about his team entering the final preseason game. The Browns, 0-3 in the preseason, lost 30-13 to the Bucs last week with quarterback Robert Griffin III going 8-of-14 for 119 yards and a touchdown pass.

Cole says the Browns will have their regulars play in the final preseason game and that there is concern about some regression from Griffin. The Browns apparently believe RG3 needs to get rid of the ball faster and that he still struggles to read defenses.

Griffin will enter the season as the Browns’ starting quarterback after not having taken a snap in the regular season last year in Washington. RG3 was mediocre in both 2013 and 2014.

Griffin, who is going through a divorce, is four years removed from his famed rookie season where he threw for 20 touchdowns and five interceptions while leading Washington to the playoffs.

Newest Dodger Josh Reddick struggling with LA traffic

http://i2.wp.com/www.truesportsfan.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/josh-reddick.jpg?fit=560%2C459

Josh Reddick was acquired by the Los Angeles Dodgers from the Oakland A’s earlier this week ahead of the MLB trade deadline, and he’s having some trouble with his new team so far.

The outfielder has struggled at the plate as he was hitless over his first two games with the team. He’s also adjusting to the traffic in Los Angeles.

Reddick’s first series with the Dodgers upon being traded was in Colorado against the Rockies. On Friday the team opened up a 9-game homestand, which meant it was Reddick’s first chance to commute to the stadium on his own. That apparently was quite the adventure.

Traveling from nearby Glendale to Dodger Stadium, Reddick said his drive took an hour and involved multiple freeway entrances and wrong way turns.

Josh Reddick not thrilled with commute to #Dodgers Stadium. Almost 2 hours from Glendale. "Took 4 entrances, 3 wrong-way turns but made it."

One check at Google Maps shows that a drive from the center of Glendale to Dodger Stadium — during rush hour — should be just over 20 minutes. Reddick’s drive took triple that time (DiGiovanna later corrected the initial tweet to say one hour not two for the drive).

The traffic in LA is bad and unpredictable, so Reddick will have to learn how to adjust accordingly. Or he can always try the Yasiel Puig plan.
