Giant’s defensive end Osi Umenyiora wasn’t afraid about calling out Robert Griffin III this past summer. “Who is this RG3 guy you guys keep talking about? You talking about Bob Griffin?

Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III attempted to play wide receiver against the Steelers on a play that I’m sure worked a lot better in practice.
Steelers’ Ryan Clark unloaded on Griffin…and BOOM goes the dynamite. I know I’m just a blogger but maybe the Redskins should think about letting Griffin just work on being a better quarterback.
