CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Browns quarterback Robert Griffin III will make a House call this week to try to get his mechanics back on track, a source told cleveland.com.

Griffin, signed by the Browns to a two-year, $15 million deal on Friday, will head to Los Angeles to work with noted quarterback expert Tom House, a close associate of Hue Jackson's.

He'll get in an intensive week of work there at House's 3DQB, and then head back to Cleveland for the start of the offseason program April 4th. He'll likely work with him again in the time off between minicamp and the start of training camp in July.

Last year, House worked extensively with Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton, who catapulted to No. 2 in the NFL with a 106.3 rating. Other Jackson quarterbacks House has tutored include Carson Palmer, Terrelle Pryor and A.J. McCarron and he knows Jackson's scheme well.

Pryor, now a Browns receiver and possible quarterback, worked with House for three seasons and credits him, in part, with helping to win games for the Raiders in 2013.

The book on the dual-threat Griffin is that he's inaccurate from the pocket, holds the ball too long, doesn't read defenses quickly enough and takes too many sacks. Some say he doesn't prepare hard enough during the week.

House, a former Major League Baseball pitcher with a Ph.D. in Sports/Performance Psychology, will help with all of those things. Quarterbacks have flocked to him in recent years, including Tom Brady and Drew Brees. He's also worked with Tim Tebow and Alex Smith.

Dalton, who had Jackson as his offensive coordinator in 2014-15, had worked with House in previous years, but went all in last off-season. He earned the career-high 106. 2 rating, which blew away his previous high of 87.4. His 66.1 percent completion percentage was a career high and his touchdown-to-interception ratio of 25-7 was a career-best.

"The motion is still mine,'' he explained to bengals.com. "It's not like it's completely changed. We tweaked a few things just to make sure all of your momentum, all your force, everything you have is going toward the target of where you're trying to throw. We tweaked it a little bit. It happens so quickly, I don't think the average person will notice it."

House utilizes 3D-Motions analysis to break down a quarterback's throwing motion and then rebuilds it through proper muscle mechanics.

"I just wanted to fine tune the accuracy and get the most out of every throw and when you're doing it right, it just becomes effortless when the ball comes out of your hand,'' said Dalton. "A lot of that stuff is making sure my shoulders, hips and everything else are going at the right time."

A quicker release will be imperative for Griffin, especially behind an offensive line that lost Pro Bowl center Alex Mack to Atlanta and right tackle Mitchell Schwartz to Kansas City. In each of his three seasons, he's been sacked 30 or more times -- including in 2014 when he was sacked 33 times in 214 pass attempts. That's a sack every 6.5 attempts -- the most for an NFL quarterback since 1992.

For comparison's sake, Peyton Manning was never sacked more than 30 times in his 17 seasons, and only once in his career was he sacked more than 23 times.

Despite working last off-season to develop as a pocket passer, Griffin was third string behind Kirk Cousins and Colt McCoy in 2015, and dressed for only game. Gruden attributed Griffin's woes to injuries, but insiders say he was unable to execute Gruden's precision-timing offense as well as the other two.

Still, Gruden insisted that Griffin will be fine with a change of scenery.

"From a mental standpoint, he's going to continue to develop and I think he's ready to jump back in the saddle quickly,'' Gruden said at the NFL Annual Meeting this week. "He's learned concepts in the passing game. He can always do the zone-read stuff with his legs athletically, but now I think he's got a good, firm grasp of a drop-back passing game, which he can add to his skill set. So he'll be a huge help somewhere."

Especially now that he's taking it to the House.
