Like Matty said, there would be a headline involving Griffin/Shanny/Andrews no matter what the story line was. Griffin is a media magnet. And the Skins under Shanallen have not shown themselves to be media averse - AH conditioning comes to mind. I do think they ought to consider reducing media availability of Griffin for the next 2 weeks, but then the story would be that they aren't letting him talk, and rumors of discontent would swirl. At least this way, everybody's opinions and positions are clearly defined, and when Week 1 comes around and Griffin starts, this will all be water under the bridge.
If he plays well... all will be water under the bridge. Let's all hope he does. If he plays poorly, I can see it now.....there will be Cousins talk, there will be.."I needed more reps in pre season"....and so on.
No worries, he'll be in the running for player of the week honors for week 1. :)

What do you expect when people still think there was a cornerback here with #28 named Daryl Greene?

I thought he wore 91 and played LB...I am confused.

So...to get away from RG3, what about the defense? Looked pretty bad against the run. Do we have an issue here? Is this the year Fletcher falls off a cliff? Maybe the pass rush improves but the run D suffers.

Personally, I'd be more concerned if Griffin was content to not play until week 1. I think its the right decision and I'm sure Griffin knows it to, but like he said, it doesn't mean he has to like it.
Yea, but he still needs to just shut up. If he just replied to the media by saying something like. "The coach has made the decision for me not to play so I'll be getting ready to go when I'm called on". Say the same thing everytime your asked and the question goes away and its not asked anymore. I personally think he eats this up and likes the attention.
