1.  How Robert Griffin III look running the offense?

Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III will be under the microscope this week as always.  And although he did some good things against the Texans it’s the things he didn’t do that most skeptics focused on.  Head coach Jay Gruden alluded to some of the positive things RGIII did against the Texans but also stated there’s room for improvement.

And Griffin himself knows this but it will take time for him to learn the new offense completely and get more comfortable throwing in the pocket.  But in the mean time there are still things the Redskins can get better at from the loss to the Texans.

Like taking better advantage of their speed at wide receiver in DeSean Jackson and Andre Roberts.  And RGIII needs to show better footwork as Gruden pointed out in pulling away from the center to prevent mishandling the ball on handoffs.  Griffin looked OK last week but we’ll see if he improves from week to week.                  Redskins vs. Jaguars
