Re: Griffin's Impact on our Offense
Echoing a couple of things said earlier here, his biggest impact IMO will be on the running game. With a QB that can threaten the edge, the backside end must stay at home as well as the backside LB on some reads. This allows the backside tackle to get out on the MLB which can open up huge cutback lanes for the back. Helu has the potential to break off some huge runs if he can get to the second level quickly and is one on one with a safety.
Once the running game is productive, that opens up the play action and boot action passing game, which Griffin excels in. With his accuracy and deep ball arm, the opportunities for big plays should be plentiful.
