Didn't know if anyone else had seen this one....this made me feel a little better that they are at least recognizing that the offense has been pathetic.
How does this make you feel?
Redskins' offense back to square one: 'We're starting a whole new year' - NFL - Yahoo! Sports (http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/news?slug=ap-redskins-startingover&prov=ap&type=lgns)
I like the sounds of it. I don't care what they do whether it's run or pass, just get this offense in gear already!
I agree that the excuses for Portis are wearing thin. He needs to start producing.

If theres a time for this to happen its now when we face one of the worst defenses in the league. Take advantage of the opportunity and hopefully gain some momentum from it.
I like everything I read, and I really hope it pays dividends for the rest of this season.

Why couldn't they have come to this type of awakening before the Patriot game?
Sounds like they aren't changing a thing. It's the same ol' stuff -- "Let's get back to 'Redskins football'" -- except this time, they really, really mean it.
Whoopee.

Two years ago we did this "back to basics" approach and went 5-0, last year we did it and finished the season 2-4 but were clearly improved. I think next year we should just do it from game 1.
Seriously though, I don't see exaclty what it is we claim to be doing different now

Decent article. An acknowledgement that something's not right and they need to get it straight before it's too late. It makes sense too to focus more on the run game. I think Wade is better at run blocking than pass protection. He can't be worse. We have to play to our current strengths not to where we want our strengths to be. I like how Randle El, Cartwright and Samuels took the lead. And here's something else that was nice to read...
"TE Todd Yoder (http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/players/5301/;_ylt=AqYC386ruPPRMWwjVhTWI2UdsLYF) (ankle) was the only player limited in practice."

Probably not listening to players request for certain play packages. There are quite a few instances during the games that several players just don't look like they "feel it". I wouldn't say they're dogging it but I think they might believe there are better plays in that situation.

I've got to admit it, I've got mixed feelings about the article. I liked the overall tone, i.e., the players getting involved, getting fired up, etc. But, frankly, I am surprised that we are re-committing ourselves to the run, run, run offense. Maybe things will change, but our O-line hasn't been opening up any running lanes and I would have expected us to start passing more, not less.

This disturbing thing implied in this article is that some of the players haven't been fully on board with the gameplans. If that's true, then changing such attitudes would do a lot, imo.

Everything that was said is great, now all they need to do is put it into action and we'll all live happily ever after.......Like words becoming deeds.
