Havent found the video yet, but Griff has been ripped about some of his comments, below is one of them.
“I play the position a little bit different and what I’ve been focused on is doing the ordinary so I can be extraordinary,” he told Larry Michael on Redskins Nation this week. “So, you know, doing the little things that make the big things work. But I look forward to having the offense tailored more to what I do well, what we do well as a team.”
Ill break it down in the way it came off when I heard the clip play.
*Plays position a little different* Hes acknowledging that his skillset is different and doesnt fit the typical pocket passer mold he has tried to force himself to be as of late.
*ordinary to be extraordinary* He means he realizes now that getting good at the basic parts of his game will make him a great qb. Not just being fast and strong and doing what he did in college.
*little things to make big things work* Him actually being humble to the fact that his technique has not been good and he wont be good if he doesnt fix that.
*tailored* Him saying he doesnt want to force himself to be something he isnt, and that he will trust in the system he is asked to play.
There were other good points of the interview too where he talked about working with Jay and kinda lead to his role in the breakdown without directly addressing it.
His play in camp and on the field will ultimately decide, but for once I like where his attitude is (humble) and he sounded sincere. Time will tell, but ill be rooting for him to prove to everyone he can do it at a high level, because we are the ones that will benefit.
