Mike Shanahan is well known for being the master of disinformation. When Griffin was originally injured most of the reports I read said it was a 2-4 week injury. He returned after missing the Browns game, but now is at that 4th week mark.
What if walking around with that visible leg brace this week that has been the subject of many media questions is merely decoy? What if Griffin is really close to 100% and his comment that he has to wear the brace 'until the team doctors tell me it isn't necessary' reflects what in fact the doctors may already have told him about Sunday?
I don't have any 'inside' information and the Redskins may as a precaution have Griffin wear the brace for as long as the team is advancing in the postseason.
But because we are dealing with Shanahan (like Belichick) one wonders if there is more going on here than meets the eye.
While Seattle goes in now keying on Morris running and Griffin being used in part as a decoy in the pistol, Mike and Kyle may be planning on having Griffin challenge the edge vs. the run and throw more down the field as well.
