RICHMOND, Va. -- At 2:05 p.m., under partly cloudy skies, with a few scattered chants of "R-G-3!" from the crowd, Robert Griffin III took a snap from centre Will Montgomery at the 50-yard line and handed the ball to running back Alfred Morris. History made, Washington Redskins style. Griffins first 11-on-11 play of the 2013 training camp. Like the moon landing, the sort of thing where you always remember where you were when it happened. "Not quite that dramatic," third-string quarterback Rex Grossman said. "But I hear your point." Actually, the payoff didnt match the hype. Griffin ran 16 plays with the first-string offence against a scout team that was mimicking the Pittsburgh Steelers defence in preparation for the Redskins next preseason game. Wearing his familiar black brace on his right knee, Griffin completed 7 of 10 passes with an interception. He moved well in the pocket, although he didnt face much of a pass rush. "Its like he never left," right tackle Tyler Polumbus said. "We hardly even noticed that he just got back in there. He was the same guy he was last year, and the same guy hes been in walkthroughs and 7-on-7 and all that." Griffin had been limited to 7-on-7 drills during camp as he works his way back from reconstructive knee surgery, part of coach Mike Shanahans cautious approach that has tested Griffins patience. The difference between 7-on-7 and 11-on-11 is the presence of pass-rushing linemen who can test the quarterbacks ability to change directions in a hurry. Yet Grossman said it would be a stretch to categorize Griffins snaps Wednesday as true 11-on-11 work. Second-stringer Kirk Cousins, for instance, took back the reins when the starters faced the starters in the two-minute drill, with Griffin again a spectator. "He looks great," Grossman said. "Right at seven months is where I felt like I was healthy when I tore my ACL. Hes pretty much ready to go. I would say hes 90 per cent capable of doing everything." Even so, Grossman understands Shanahans approach. "If somebody were to fall in a competitive drill on his knee, everybody would have second-guessed it," Grossman said. "I think everybodys playing it smart, and Week 1, nobody remembers anything that happened before that. They remember the playoff game and Week 1, and whatever happens in between, nobody cares." Except that they do. Wednesdays announced of 10,111 was one of the biggest of camp, and it drew a disproportional amount of national media. Adding to the drama has been the back-and-forth between Shanahan and Griffin, who has said he doesnt like the coachs practice plan but is following along if it means playing in the regular season opener on Sept. 9. Pierre Garcon, who caught Griffins first 11-on-11 pass, was asked for his take on the way the quarterback has publicly challenged the coach. "We dont necessarily like it, but thats the kind of player he is," Garcon said. "He wants to be out there, he wants to help the team. But hes still got some time. We dont need him for just Week 1, we need him for the whole season." Griffin did not address reporters Wednesday. Shanahan called Griffins work the "next step" toward Week 1. "Hell get more accustomed every practice he has, every rep he gets, and obviously our goal is to get him ready for the first game," Shanahan said. "Hopefully there is no setback." Note: More than 100 members of the military attended the practice. Griffin, the son of Army parents, made a beeline for the group after the workout and signed autographs. ...

DURHAM, N.C. -- Instate rivals Duke and Wake Forest couldnt be handling their quarterback situations more differently.The Demon Deacons went back and forth between two QBs -- even occasionally playing both at the same time -- while they wait for one to claim the job.That wasnt an issue for the Blue Devils, who handed the offense over to a redshirt freshman and turned him loose.It definitely helps to have a rhythm as a quarterback, Duke QB Daniel Jones said Tuesday.They meet this week in their Atlantic Coast Conference opener after both started their seasons with victories that were nothing alike.Wake Forest (1-0) sputtered in a 7-3 victory over Tulane, gaining just 59 total yards and three first downs in the second half and finishing with 175 yards -- fewer than every other Bowl Subdivision team that played last week.They know theyre better than that, coach Dave Clawson said. The object of the game is to win, and we won. ... But I dont think our offense left that game saying, `Hey, we did our job and were satisfied, by any means.Meanwhile, Duke (1-0) clicked right away, scoring touchdowns on seven of its first 10 possessions of a 49-6 rout of North Carolina Central of the Football Championship Subdivision.A big reason for that was Jones, who looked nothing like a redshirt freshman playing in a college game for the first time.He finished 10 of 15 for 189 yards and two touchdowns, setting the schools single-game record with a pass efficiency rating of 216.51, and added 28 yards rushing and another score.It helped that coach David Cutcliffe pulled him aside for a pregame pep talk, telling the yooung quarterback that he would remove anything from the game plan that Jones wasnt completely comfortable running.ddddddddddddAnd Cutcliffe emphasized that -- despite a strong performance by backup Parker Boehme -- Jones will remain his No. 1 quarterback.It certainly gives me confidence to go out and play, but I have a job to do and Im expected to perform, Jones said. I still have those expectations for myself, and I want to do as good as I possibly can.Wake Forest once again will start junior John Wolford but sophomore Kendall Hinton also will play against his hometown school, with Clawson declining to give more specifics because Im not going to share with Duke how were going to do it.While he has long said he believes in both of his QBs, Clawson had hoped during the preseason that one would wrest control of the position.It hasnt happened yet. Wolford was 9 of 17 for 79 yards passing while Hinton had a team-best 24 yards rushing and scored the games only touchdown on a 1-yard keeper. At times they alternated at quarterback, with Wolford even shifting to receiver while Hinton took a snap.We went into the year with a plan, and were going to stick with the plan, Clawson said. And at a certain point, if we have to re-evaluate it, we will. But were not going to blow it up after one week.---Follow Joedy McCreary at http://twitter.com/joedyap.
