Robert Griffin III Knows Exactly How to Get Arch Manning Back on Track

Griffin believes it's time to change up the offense -- and avoid putting the ball into Manning's hands early.

"I think if you're Texas, you have to assess the situation for what it is. Right now, Arch Manning is making easy throws look really, really hard," Griffin stated.

That's when the Baylor legend dropped this big suggestion.

"You're going to have to take it off his shoulders, and put it on the shoulders of your running backs," Griffin said. "Get into your running game. Instead of running maybe some of the more difficult RPOs or pushing the ball deep down the field in play action, you need Arch Manning to get back into rhythm."

Robert Griffin III Dives Deeper Into Why This Approach Will Work

Griffin believes a run-first approach is the tactic "Coach Sark" must employ.

A population of Texas fans likely won't agree with this motive. But "RG3" continued to dive deeper into why he believes the Longhorns should become running game first, Manning's arm second.

"I'm going to full progression throws where he reads with his feet. We're going to one, to two, to three, to four no matter what the coverage is," Griffin said.

He then shared why he says Texas should pivot to this approach.

"Because right now he's out of rhythm," Griffin said. "His throwing mechanics look off. I've heard a lot of people say he might have a little bit of a shoulder injury. If Texas can't confirm that, we can't go to that. But what his motion looks like, it looks a lot different than it did last year. And his feet don't look as active or in sync with his arm as it did last year."

Griffin concludes how Texas should change from its three-level, play action throwing offense, to more of a pure progression look featuring "simple RPOs." The 2011 Heisman winner sees Manning becoming a Tim Tebow in this type of look -- even allowing Manning to take advantage of his mobility.

Griffin doesn't list Manning as his Heisman front runner. Marcel Reed of Texas A&M holds that title from the former NFL quarterback.
