Against the Browns. Whoopty fucking doo. I've seen a ton of Washington this season as a big fan of Griffin. I find it insane to discredit what Griffin has done because he has a pretty good back behind him. Take Griffin away and replace him with a league average QB and Washington is going nowhere. Take away Morris and give Washington a league average RB and they are still just fine. Because in that offense with what Griffin does an average Rb can look good.
It's like Knoshon Moreno in Denver. Has Moreno been tearing it up? You bet. But it's easy because he is playing with Peyton Manning putting him in a position to succeed and the defense playing on its heels because of Manning. Same thing in Washington. Defenses have to worry about Griffin first of all as a runner. He has 800 yards and 7 TDs rushing. He gets those with Morris at RB or anyone at RB. Not only that, but his running ability opens things up for Morris. The offense they run out of the pistol is unique and presents a lot of choices and versatility for Washington. They can disguise their runs and thus, another advantage for whoever is playing RB for them. This is because of Griffin. They can have a designed QB run, rollout, option, zone read, playaction, handoff, ect. Tons of choices all out of one formation. And when they do hand to the Rb they have open lanes not only because of the many things the defense has to be prepared for but because they have to stay in their lanes to defend against Griffin playfakes and rollouts.
And that is just defending Griffin as a runner. Griffin also has 20 TDs passing and 3,200 yards at a 65% completion rate. He doesn't turn the ball over. He is running that offense, not Alfred Morris. He is the one pulling the strings, deciding where the ball goes. If you asked any coach, GM, or player if they wanted RG3 or Alfred Morris on their team they would all say Griffin.
Again, Morris is a hoss. But Griffin is the HNIC. It's not even close really.
