He expects Mike and Kyle to tweak their offense to suit Griffin’s athleticism, similarly to how he and Mike adjusted when quarterback Jake Plummer joined the Broncos in 2003. That could mean adding elements of the zone-read running game in which Griffin excelled at Baylor.
“I worked for Mike all those years, and whatever we have, we’re going to find a way to make him successful,” Kubiak said. “Mike is very capable of being flexible and doing what a player does best. I’m sure if he ends up taking him, he’s going to study that portion of the offense he has run.”

Kubiak interview with Campbell seems to fit these scenario's:

Kubiak's 1st sentence struck me though: "Mike likes to run the ball – everything starts with the run –"
I wonder why he chose to mention Mike as opposed to Kyle?
Because if you look at the playcalling tendecies between Mike and Kyle, especially pass/run ratio, Kyle doesn't share Mike's run focus.
I love Kubiak's last sentence because it kinda opens the door to the possibility of more spread elements and maybe even some zone-read.
It also naturally leads to this question:
What specifically (formation/play concepts) does Griffin do best from Baylor's offense?
