Running The Ball This Week

I would like to provide some stats, and some analysis off the dome. This is my first thread, but I've been here at the Warpath for a while now.

Redskins Offense (3-2)

We score an average of 17.8 points a game, but we are winning.
We gain an average of 337.2 yards per game.
248.6 of those yards are in the air.
88.6 of those yards are on the ground.

Colts Defense (3-2)

They allow an average of 20.8 points a game.
They allow an average of 345.8 yards a game.
203.6 of those yards are in the air.
142.2 of those yards are on the ground.

Before i continue, I'd like to point out that stats mean virtually nothing right now...(Cowboys), but I just wanted to start off by providing some basic background info.

The key to this game is possession. We have to keep Manning on the sideline as long as possible. How do we do that? Run the ball. It worked in the first quarter against the Eagles, and the Eagles have a better run defense than the Colts. I believe the Chiefs pounded the ball effectively against the Colts on the first drive. I'm not sure if the defense made adjustments, or the chiefs held it back. I couldn't watch that game because the Redskins were playing. lol

I think Kyle will run the ball, and then unleash the play-action on the Colts. I'm not saying we need Torain to run for 231 yards like Foster did, but maybe a 1-2 punch between him, and Keiland/Chad can be effective.

Cheers to 4-2 :food-smil

I think the game will be decided on a big turnover and/or special teams play. Just being conservative won't beat Indy

Yea I really see 46 having a good game BUT it's also on DMac to take advantage of PA

We ran it on the Sheagles. We better run it on those horseshoes, or else I'm going to be stirring it up big time this week.:D

i agree with this assesment. Lets run the ball which will make our play action even more deadly

If we score more points we'll win :)

Honestly I hope this is Albert's breakout game under the new regime. Manning can be an avg QB when rattled...the monster could help make it happen.

As the zen master says...we'll see.

ATV's time shall be this week teams are running on Indy right now. Run it up the gut and stay away from Freeny and Mathis, #5 will then be able to roll out and open the passing game.

I honestly hope AH's brothers death though tragic brings Coach and Player together, and I do think if it happens it will turn into one of the best coach and player relationships ever. Here is to that.

Being conservative is not Kyle's style and we can still run the ball, control the clock and still be agressive. I dont want to see a continuing trend of McNabb tossing the ball 35+ times...Running the ball effectively puts us in the best position to win on Sunday IMO. And probably is the number 1 key to winning this game and my second key is not let Peyton get into a rhythm against our zone. Haslett got to pick his spots to bring pressure, specifically up the middle in Peyton face.

This would be a great week for BB to get in his J Wall dance routine, twice. :food-smil
