The Facts: Former Washington coach Mike Shanahan says Griffin and owner Daniel Snyder conspired on a plan to change the team's offense after Griffin's rookie year, with Griffin then sitting Shanahan down and informing him that he would no longer run many of the plays that Shanahan had called.

Diehards Line: According to TheUndefeated.com, Griffin called a meeting with Shanahan, his son and OC Kyle Shanahan and QBs coach Matt LaFleur in February of 2013 and told them to let him speak without interruption. He then informed them that there were 19 plays in Washington’s offense that he would no longer run because he believed he needed to be treated like a pocket passer and not a running quarterback. Shanahan said he could tell by the way Griffin was talking that he had previously gone over the issue with Snyder. “When Robert is standing there going through all of that, I know it’s coming from Dan,” Shanahan said. “When Robert talked about ‘unacceptable,’ that was a word Dan used all the time. He was using phrases Dan used all the time. There’s only one way a guy who’s going into his second year would do something like this: If he sat down with the owner and the owner believed that this is the way he should be used.” While all this is in the past, it has to be of some interest in Cleveland, where Griffin is trying to revive his career.
