ASHBURN, Va. - Robert Griffin III isnt done yet with the Washington Redskins.A fifth starting quarterback change this season — this one mandated by Colt McCoys aggravated neck injury — means RG3 will get the call Saturday against the Philadelphia Eagles.Hes got every chance this week against the Philadelphia Eagles to take this position and run with it, coach Jay Gruden said Monday. And Id like to see him have some urgency about him and play well, and hopefully there wont be much of a debate if he does well.The switch merely reinforces the state of the Redskins, where the only certainty is uncertainty. Chances seemed slim that Griffin would get another start this season, and his future in Washington became an open question, after he was benched two weeks ago amid biting criticism from Gruden over the former Heisman Trophy winners ability to operate a pro-style passing attack.Now Gruden would just like somebody — anybody — to take the job and claim it. Griffin, McCoy and Kirk Cousins have combined to produce a 3-11 record and a guaranteed spot in the NFC East cellar for the sixth time in seven seasons.Its not what you want, said Gruden, a first-year head coach who was hired in part because of his success in working with quarterbacks. You want somebody to take the position and play and have success, obviously. But unfortunately Robert got hurt early, Kirk had turnover issues, and Colt took an opportunity and ran with it and did well and then Colt got the injury.Now were back to Robert. I have nothing against all three. I think all three quarterbacks have a good future. I just want somebody to take the position and run with it, and hopefully well see something like that this week with Robert.McCoys status was in doubt throughout practice last week because of a sprained neck suffered late in the 24-0 loss to the St. Louis Rams. He was cleared by a doctor on Friday, but he lasted only one series Sunday against the New York Giants before taking a hit that aggravated the nerve.Griffin, therefore, came on in relief for the second straight game. He completed 18 of 27 passes for 236 yards and a touchdown, and he had an 8-yard scoring run at the end of the first half overturned on an obscure rule after a replay review. The play turned the tide in the 24-13 loss.Gruden offered faint praise for Griffin immediately after the game. The coachs words were slightly more positive Monday.I thought he played with good energy, Gruden said. I thought he took the ball down and ran it when he had to a few times, and was pretty efficient with the passing game. For whatever reason, in the second half we couldnt get it going. We got in some third downs and werent able to convert again, and that was unfortunate. Hes just got to continue to go through the same progressions and see the concepts, but something to build off of, hopefully.With McCoy injured, Cousins will move up to the No. 2 spot. The way things are going, he might get another start.Kirks a heck of a guy, hes worked extremely hard, and hes dying for another chance, Gruden said. Whether he gets it or not this year is to be determined, but I know hell get a chance another time somewhere soon.Griffin was sacked seven times Sunday, the sixth game in a row in which the Redskins have allowed five or more. Their 53 sacks allowed this season are second-most in the league. Gruden said some of Sundays sacks were the fault of the offensive line; some resulted from a poor play by Griffin.Hes 24 years old, and hes still learning, Gruden said. I dont think we can really judge his future right now based on what hes done. I think it will be a continuing process. And we still hope to see him getting better every week, and hopefully hell do that this week.Notes: Gruden said he went conservative late in the game because Griffin was banged up trying to scramble for yardage. The coach said in hindsight he should have had all three quarterbacks active. ... Injury updates: LT Trent Williams did not require an MRI on his sprained right shoulder. C Kory Lichtensteiger has a sprained MCL in his left knee. DE Jason Hatcher has a swollen right knee.

Toronto swept the Rochester Americans in the first round of the 2013 Calder Cup playoffs, had eight days off before the second round, dropped Game 1 against the Grand Rapids Griffins 7-0 at Ricoh Coliseum and eventually lost the series in six games. The Marlies are currently on a six-day break following their first round sweep of the Milwaukee Admirals. "Thats something we didnt do very good last year," said Marlies starter Drew MacIntyre, who posted a .955 save percentage and a 1.55 goals-against average in the first round. "AHL playoffs is frustrating in that sense. You get long layoffs regardless and weve got to do a better job than we did last year." Game 2 of the series goes Saturday before moving to Toronto May 14 for Games 3, 4, and 5 in a 2-3-2 format. Toronto (45-25-6) went 1-1-0 in two meetings against the Midwest Division-winning Wolves (45-21-10) during the regular season. Marlies goaltender Garrett Sparks, who started both games against Chicago during the regular season, grew up less than 18 kilometres from All State Arena, the home of the Wolves. "Theyre very dynamic offensively, but we match up very well against them, our systems are very solid and were going to have to do our best to neutralize them," said Sparks, who is expecting friends and family in attendance at the Chicago games. "If we play our game, ultimately we give ourselves the best chance to win." One benefit of the six-day break for the Marlies is the opportunity for key forwards to get completely healthy. Both Peter Holland (lower body) and Spencer Abbott (shoulder) will make their post-season debut in Game 1. The pair, along with Carter Ashton who missed the first two games of the first round with a knee injury, skated on a line together Wednnesday at the teams final practice before leaving Toronto.dddddddddddd The additions of Abbott and Holland could make decisions difficult for coach Steve Spott, who will likely have to scratch veterans. "Its going to be tough," said Spott. "Were going to have to make sure that everyone is communicated to, well be honest, well be transparent and those guys will get their chances." Spott is quite familiar with the Chicago Wolves coaching staff as coached Wolves coach John Andersons son, Spencer, during his OHL days in Kitchener. The Marlies coach also played for Wolves assistant coach Dave Allison with the ECHLs Richmond Renegades during the 1990-91 season. "I know its going to be a tough series," said Spott. "Theyre dynamic, their skilled, theyve got a great veteran presence, a goalie I know well in Jake Allen from our World Junior team -- arguably one of the top goalies in the American Hockey League. "Were going to have to be smart, were going to have to be structured in all three zones against this team because if we give up odd-man rushes and we take poor penalties theyre going to capitalize." Allen, who won the leagues top goaltender award during the regular season, is 3-2-0 in five starts this post-season. He has a 2.85 goals-against average and a .890 save percentage. Wolves forward Dmitrij Jaskin is the AHLs leading scorer after the first round with two goals and five assists in five games. Defenceman Brent Regner added six points in the five games to lead all Chicago blue-liners Marlies Jerry DAmigo is tied for second in league scoring with six points in three games while captain Trevor Smith had five assists in the Milwaukee series. "Theyre a veteran team, they have a lot of good guys," said DAmigo, "but were a strong team too so were going to do our home work on them, we have these past few days and were going to be ready to play on Friday."
