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.

Very valid point. I can't argue with that notion at all. Just cringe every time I see him run that damn option play.
