Maybe you focus on smoothing out the oline and have Griffen play more in games 2 and 3?

Ive always thought with rookie QBs and newly aquired young QBs should be given them as much time as possible in the preseason, espicially early on.

Injuries happen to QBs and to the Oline, thats just the way it is. And if the oline is abysmal right now it will probably be just as bad or worse during certain parts of the season. But since the preseason dosnt mean anything we could go "extra vanilla" early in the game while the Bill's defensive starters are on the field with a focus on protecting RGIII. Theres always something to practice even if we play it cautiously. If we do that id like to see RIII and the oline starters stay in later into the game as the defensive talent drops off.
