Scouts Inc Offensive Analysis

"The Washington offense was unpredictable and overpowering against the Detroit defense. Redskins offensive coordinator Al Saunders called an excellent game, doing what Washington does best by running the football and setting up play-action passes for QB Jason Campbell. Campbell's accuracy got passes over the Detroit linebackers and on target to WR Antwaan Randle El and FB Mike Sellers. Saunders also had the Redskins' offense line up in a short-yardage formation on a gutsy fourth-and-2 call, and Campbell executed a slant pass the lone receiver, Randle El, for a 37-yard gain. Saunders definitely was more creative than Detroit offensive coordinator Mike Martz. "

THIS is what I've been waiting for. I don't know who to thank or blame, but finally we're being unpredictable. I wasn't super happy with the late first half calls NOT going for a TD, but overall it was GREAT.

The agressive calls have to do with confidence in Campbell.
That 4th and 2 pass was very risky..a miss could have shaken a young QB's confidence...the grab makes it likely the Skins will use Campbell more as a weapon vs a game manager
