Washington Redskins coach Devin Harris Authentic Jersey Jay Gruden said if Robert Griffin III ends up signing with Cleveland, it could be a good fit for the quarterback.Griffin visited with Cleveland last weekend and the Browns remain interested in signing him, per head coach Hue Jackson. Griffin has visited with the New York Jets, but that has been it since he was released by the Redskins earlier this month. Jackson ran similar concepts to Gruden, whom he followed as offensive coordinator in Cincinnati.He has a little bit of a grasp on what Hue does. I think there will be a little bit of a change. I think itll be a good fit for him, Gruden said at the owners meetings via ESPN reporter Eric Williams. I havent talked to Hue at all about Robert, but I think a change of scenery could be good for Robert. Like anybody, sometimes you just want to get out of a situation and start new and fresh. Learn something new, I think its a good fit because a lot of things Hue does I believe are similar. I think Robert can play in this league for sure, just needs another opportunity.While some in the NFL say its unusual that Jackson wouldnt have talked to Gruden or other coaches in the organization, its also a case of Jackson perhaps wanting to enter into a possible relationship with untainted thoughts. Besides, Griffins ups and downs have been well documented.http://www.authenticclippersshop.com/authentic-25-austin-rivers-jersey.html Gruden benched Griffin in August and inserted Kirk Cousins as the starter. Griffin was active for only one game this past season. But Gruden said he still thinks he can succeed in the NFL."Yeah, of course, yes, Gruden said. Hes very talented. We all know that. We all saw what he did as a rookie. Now just continue to gain knowledge of the systems and keep him healthy and on the field. I think he has a chance.The Redskins moved on from Griffin because they would have had to pay him $16.155 million this season otherwise. Their commitment remains firm to Cousins. But Gruden has said more than a few times the move to Cousins was more about him than Griffin.No question it was never about Robert it was more about Kirk's emergence really is what happened. It wasn't that Robert tanked it and we just wanted to make a change, Gruden said. We felt that Kirk had such good OTAs in training camp we just felt that he was progressing at a faster rate is why we made the change. So, I think that Robert can play in this league for sure, just needs another opportunity.http://www.officialblazersshop.com/authentic-0-damian-lillard-jersey.html If nothing else, Griffin will enter camp as healthy as he probably has been in the NFL. His lone issue occurred this past summer when he suffered what they thought might be a concussion (but was never officially diagnosed as such).Gruden also said he thought Griffin would be a good teammate wherever he lands. Griffin earned praise, publicly and privately, from numerous people in the organization for how he handled this past season.Not playing for a year will have some impact on Griffin, too, from a mental standpoint in terms of hunger to develop. How it plays out remains to be seen. But Gruden also intimated that its not as simple as returning to what Griffin ran his rookie year.Well, I kept a lot of my offensive staff from the years with Coach [Mike] Shanahan so we could implement some of that stuff, Gruden said. We ran the zone read, we ran a lot of the bootlegs. I just think he had a couple injuries which hampered his ability to perform at the high level that he was his rookie year.Hes fully healthy now and hes ready to compete and he can do the zone read, he can run the bootlegs and all that stuff that make him effective outside the pocket. Eventually hes going to have to continue to master the dropback passing game in the NFL, which hes continuing to do and he will do.http://www.officialpelicansshop.com/authentic-23-anthony-davis-jersey.html But Gruden said he thinks Griffin remains a very confident guy. Playing quarterback in the NFL demands a quarterback stay confident, Gruden said.
