Hopefully, Grant runs well enough to not tip what the Redskins are doing on offense and continue to keep the opposing defenses off-balance.

I think it could also mean that we planning on running the ball more in the near future and would like to have another RB on the roster at full strength besides Morris.

Could be. But RGIII specifically mentioned Grant's pass blocking ability today

Great to have help there given the problems/injuries we've been having - especially on his blind side.
