New Defensive Look Helps Robert Griffin III, Offense

Robert Griffin III and the Redskins offense are taking advantage of the different defensive looks.

Robert Griffin III is marking this week's practices as a "win." He felt like the offense moved the ball, and his linemen successfully fended off the defense long enough for him to make plays.

But it wasn’t easy.

When Houston Texans J.J. Watt knelt down into his three-point stance for each of his repetitions, it was a chance for the defensive end to “hit someone other than his own linemen.” Watt’s explosion complimented his swim moves, throwing some of the Redskins linemen off balance.
