Skins4Eva 10-17-2006, 01:04 AM Greetings faithful skins fans. I was just wondering...since when has the screen pass become a gamebreaking play? Why the heck do we run so many screens and crappy trick plays that dont seem to fool anybody. All of this dink and dunk is really kind of insulting to players of the caliber of Moss, ARE, Lloyd, Cooley and Portis. Was there a point to signing Al Saunders? We looked better last year with Portis getting 30+ carries, Cooleys 6 to 7 catches and Moss's 3 to 4 catch, 180 yard recieving games than we do with this schizophrenic crap we have now. There is no rhythm to the offense at all. Yeah the D hasnt done anything, but our emphasis last off season seemed to be offensive firepower so it makes sense to me that offense should be winning some (not all) of the games for us. Is Portis heatlhy enough to run 30+ the rest of the way, or will our FA's make a difference in the vertical game. I remember the good old days when opposing teams KNEW the counter tray was coming and could do NOTHING to stop it. Help me redskins faithful; what the heck are we doing on offense, and what SHOULD we be doing on offense?
jsarno 10-17-2006, 01:19 AM We have no identity right now.
What we need to do is get Brunell out, because he's afraid to embrace Saunder's system. Al must be pissed off right now.

The screen looked pretty good when Priest Holmes was running it.
saden1 10-17-2006, 01:31 AM I was thinking about this all day today. Who the hell are we? What are we? I don't mind the screen play, but what I do mind is the lack of a running game. For the love of god, pound the fucking ball, throw more quick slants, use the god damn TE, and throw the deep out routes lord knows your receivers are fast and can stop on a dime. Oh and get the fucking pistol armed QB out of there. I have had enough of his thumbs up sign.
mooby 10-17-2006, 01:35 AM This team is built to run the football. When we successfully run the football, it opens up the pass for us. We need to stick to that philosophy against a team like Indy. Indy's run defense sucks right now. There's no better time to go back to the basics then this week.

Run the ball!
RobH4413 10-17-2006, 01:43 AM The screen looked pretty good when Priest Holmes was running it.
the screen doesn't work when you don't keep your db's faithfull with the deep ball....
the screen doesn't work when you run the ball 14 times to your #1 RB...
#1 point... the screen doesn't work when you run it every single game.. all the time all day long...
this offense is no-where close to KC.
The screen pass is a powerfull weapon when utilized correctly, and I think everyone including you can agree we're basing an offense around a screen pass, as opposed using the screen pass to "hi-jack" a defense.
I ran that shit in High-school and college, while I admit the comparison isn't even close, the basic principle of a screen pass is to use it as a contrast to the deep ball... once the db's give you the 8-12 yds of respect.....we don't have that so running the SP is useless. The opposing defense watches our game film and says "the number 1 threat is the screen pass"... so they have their db's jump that motion. Lets focus on running the ball, and getting Santana the ball right now and the we'll talk about a successful screen pass.
The right thing to do against INDI is run a fake screen and mold the offense around keeping defenses faithfull, both to the run and the pass. We'll see what happends.

What are you basing that on? He's afraid to embrace the system? Give some proof
Dogtag 10-17-2006, 09:29 AM So far our offensive identity looks a great deal like the Pink Panther. Or perhpas the Roadrunner and coyote, a big book of plays and we just can't execute any of them.
