Since you watched every play of every game last year, can you tell us what each play was and how Griffin got hurt?
To your team building strategy of building a formidable line, neither Shanahan will ever have a traditional drop back passing game that a 'formidable line' suits. They have, with the exception of a needed upgrade at RT, a good line for the offense. The running game will continue to be the engine and this year, expect to see RGIII in more of the style that Cousins played in vs. Cleveland and what the offense was prior to last season.
The QB who you keep describing isn't RGIII, it's Michael Vick..

From best of my memory (no cheating): against ATL he scrambled outside because nobody was open and dove to pick up that extra yard. Concussion. Against Balt it was a busted play and he scrambled downfield. Seattle (2nd TD) was a hit outside the pocket as he tried to extend the play to find an open WR. Then the infamous 4th quarter knee collapse...no description required.
The Cleveland game with Cousins was textbook (Mike) Shanahan from the Denver glory days, and in no way shape or form resembles what they schemed for RG. Not sure if that's what you've implied? Cousins was first QB of Mike's time in Washington to run that offense effectively. I think RG could and will if given the opportunity, but nobody should make the mistake thinking what we saw in Cleveland is anything like what they call for RG.
What else? Oh Vick vs RG. RG actually ran MORE than Vick. That's MORE lol not LESS. If what you mean there is Vick stayed healthy then yes...I get your point.
