Robert Griffin gets green light to audible

Washington Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III has the green light to audible unlike when he was playing for Mike Shanahan.

Now, Griffin has increased freedom with a new coaching staff.

"He did an excellent job above the neck,” Redskins offensive coordinator Sean McVay said, “as far as absorbing the new system, some of the terminology. He’s done an excellent job translating his knowledge in the meeting room onto the field, recognizing some of those looks.

"Some of the audible situations we’ll give him the opportunity to call things at the line. He’s shown he’s fully capable of doing it and that’s what gives him a great chance to have success this year.”
