Several members of the Washington Redskins offensive line aren’t fans of quarterback Robert Griffin III.
The Washington Redskins look headed towards another rough season and there is already some discontent between quarterback Robert Griffin III and his offensive line.
I really hoped Griffin would say that he made key mistakes in the pocket that made the O-line look worse than it played. Oh well.

Really curious to get @thecooleyzone take on Griffin's sidestep in his presser. This is why coaches have told me several O-linemen MORE

Don't like him. Winning off the field.

After CBS posted this, Reid explained that this isn’t exactly news to those who follow the Redskins.
I guess some outlet put together a report on my previous tweet about some linemen not liking Griffin. That's not breaking news. MORE

I have been told that by several Redskins coaches over the years. This is not new. Merely pointed it out to provide context.

Still, it has to be alarming for a franchise to put their hopes in a quarterback’s hand who isn’t clicking with the men who are supposed to protect him. Normally quarterbacks and their offensive lineman have a special relationship.
It is kind of surprising that Griffin hasn’t also done more to try and mend this relationship. Seems like he could easily do it by taking some blame for things that happen during the game, according to Jason Reid.
The guy is supposed to be a leader on the team after all.
