re: RG3 "I want defenders to hit me late"

That sentiment was misconstrued by some members of the media, which caused Griffin III to address the situation again on Friday morning with Redskins.com.

“Some people think I’m aiming to draw penalties and that’s not what I said,” he explained. “I was asked about the hits on the sideline and the guys not being afraid to take the 15 yards for unnecessary roughness.

“I told them that against the Cowboys, I was just trying to run out of bounds and some guy hit me. Some guys will take that, some guys don’t really care. It’s just up in the air.

“Some guys will take the penalty and some won’t take the penalty. You’ve got to use the sideline as your friend. I’m not using the sideline to try and get penalties.”
