For as much as Cam is praised for being a power runner and running over people, he's very situationally aware about when and where to fight for more yards or the get down.
Griffin is gonna have to learn when and how to slide/get down.

Not only that, he's much bigger than RGIII and probably dishes out as much punishment, if not more, than what his would be tacklers would dish out.

Right, but the point i was going for was that while Cam's size is a benefits its his ability to avoid the taking unneccesary that allowed him to play 16 games.
If you think back to the Redskins vs Cam game: Cam ran the ball 10 times.
The only times I recall him getting hit while running was twice on the goalline trying to score.
He scored on a long run untouched, ran out of bounds a couple times, and at different times layed down/slid in front of Landry, Fletcher and Rocky52 IIRC.
