He can't keep this up for long no matter how much he says he can. This kid is smart enough to run a conventional offense with plays leaning towards his talents. (rollouts/bootlegs)

Really, with our run game, no need to expose our QB if you don't have to.
The real problem is that we're not good enough at the offensive tackle position to let Griffin get through his progressions, so the option game becomes a great way to bring the attack to the defense as opposed to letting them come attack. Griffin's taking a beating either way, but it's like playing against Oregon: one wrong move or missed assignment by the defense and we're gone for 80 yards. Speed kills.

Griffins been blasted almost every time he's completed a pass over ten yards this year. He's awesome: the throw is seemingly unaffected, but the only thing we can do to protect him is hand off conventionally, and with Morris back there that just won't be all that effective. This option run game is really all the Redskins have right now on the ground.
