Before he wasn't able to change the play unless it was one of the called plays in the huddle (They usually call 2 plays). Now, he's basically been given full reigns of the offense because he's been so comfortable running it.



I honestly think this will be the direction the offense goes. More spread and 5WR sets and taking advantage of mismatches with our playmakers. Similar to New England.



This is not a guy who is having a "flash" year. That is why you saw reports of the Redskins organization wanting to lock Kirk up before the Dallas game. They have seen his progression and ability, so they are ready to commit.

Id love to see some five wr sets!
In all fairness to Griffs "flash" year (which it was in retrospect), im sure that the team as well as everyone of us thought he would be the man for years to come. Hell it was not until pre-season of this year (over two years later) that it became obvious he was not the guy. On top of that Kirk became the man during his 4th year in the league. We really have no choice at this point but to lock him up. Luckily for the team and the fans the choice is obvious.
