Barring something crazy Robert Griffin is gonna be our QB.
We all know that Robert Griffin is a dynamic QB that has a physical skillset on par with some of the NFL's best.
I stumbled upon the Redskins vs Panthers on my DVR and couldn't help but wonder if I was watching the future of the Redskins offense.
Keep in mind I'm not saying that Griffin is Cam Newton, far from it, this is a discussion of the offense itself not of Cam.
Spread offense are no longer exclusive to the college game; over the past few years we've seen coaches like Rob Chudzinski, Chan Gailey and Mike McCoy borrow directly from these college spread offenses.
Josh McDaniels, Sean Payton, Mike McCarthy and Tom Moore/Peyton Manning have mixed in a lot of shotgun heavy spread concepts and formations.
I have little doubt that Griffin can excute any type of offensive gameplan the staff has in store for him.
Griffin has more ability in the drop back rhythm passing game then people think.
Not only is Griffin smart and coachable many people don't realize or forgot that
early in Griffin's college career he was under center quite a bit.
Over time Briles built an offense and tailored his playcalling to maximize his dynamic QB that almost exclusively featured shotgun spread and zone-read spread formations and plays.
Freshmen year:
What effect do you think Robert Griffin will have on the gameplanning and playcalling?
Do you think:
o the core offense/formations and playcalling balance will remain
unchanged and Griffin's own ability will raise the level of execution and add more playmaking ability?
o No changes to the offense except for the
redzone.
o the core offense/formations will remain unchanged but the
playcalling balance will return and the offense will look more like Houston and the traditional Mike S. Denver WCO with a heavy focus on stretch running and boot-action passing?
o the offense formations will
change and our offense will adopt and
feature some of Baylor's formations and concepts, like they way the Panthers added some of Auburns formations, plays and concepts?
And equally as important what do you
want to happen?
