Interesting comments I heard from the weekend training camp from ESPN that were lost in the scuffle...

Louis Riddick: On the relationship between Jay and Griff

"Its the most important relationship in the building between your starting QB and whoever it is that is directly responsible for his performance on the field, in this case which is a combination of the HC...and the playcaller.

These 2 have to be on the same page not just as far as what it will take for RGIII to succeed on the football field but they really have to be trusting one another. RGIII has to believe that Jay has his best interest in mind; that when he's not in his presence he [Jay] is still backing him he still building him up saying 'this is my guy' and not sitting there saying 'man I hope I can get that other QB in there because I don't really trust this guy..."

John Keim: On Jay and Griffin relationship

"A more relaxed relationship then last year...But one thing that you do know is Gruden didn't have a lot of belief in Griffin and I think Griffin felt that. And that was one of the things I talked to people around the league about "How important is [belief from the HC/playcaller to the QB]that?" I think its very important"

Either way it good to see an ostensible shift in "belief" from last year.
If its genuine then I can see Griffin having a bounce back season, if its not then it will be what I suspect...
