Redskins-Lions Game Reviews

Are you saying the offense isn't good b/c of lack of talent or are you saying the offense is out of rhythm and is making mistakes?
B/c depending on which you believe you either think the offense can improve or you don't.

Also you mention every position except QB.
Do you think McNabb is playing well?
And wouldn't better play from McNabb make everyone else play better?

I think the Kyle and McNabb have the power to right the ship b/c there is no reason why this offense is performing worse then last years offense.

Its because of a lack of talent they cant get in a rhythm and are making mistakes.

I think certain players can improve. I think certain players wont improve. Its the first year, Shanny is rebuilding, certainly he is not satisfied with this roster on offense.

McNabb is not playing particularly well. He has won us some games other past QB would not. Yes improve play from the QB would make others better. Not really the Oline, but recievers certainly.

Its because of a lack of talent they cant get in a rhythm and are making mistakes.
This is where we disagree.
I don't think the lack of talent is preventing them from getting into a rhythm or forcing them to make most of their mistakes.
We were a less talented team last year yet the offense or at least the passing gamewas in much better rhythm and performing more efficiently from the QB position.
I don't believe the NFL truely has large talent gaps from team to team.
Sure their are some elite players like Suh that will make an average OL look terrible.
A team succeeds by getting the most from the talent you have and that's what i think this team is lacking.
Simple put i think being in a rhythm is independent of talent.
You can have the most talented team in the world be out of sync and you can have a team with average talent be in rhythm.
And right now the passing game is below average; its worse then last years unit which was less talented.

Yes improve play from the QB would make others better. Not really the Oline, but recievers certainly.
Better play from the QB will certainly making the pass protection look better.
And that's the main area where the OL has problems because they're a decent and improving run blocking group. (Calling a few more runs would help)

This quote makes me believe that greater focus will be given to designing the offense and getting McNabb and thusly the passing game in better rhythm:

Shanahan said he will try in the second half to get McNabb in situations he's more comfortable in and better at.

Worth pointing out that last year's offensive coaching staff (and players) did a pretty impressive 2nd half save-job of an offense that was completely without a clue in the first half. With a lot of the same players, we looked like a team that learned how to execute in the second half.

Could happen again this year, but I think modesty is going to have to hit this coaching staff before they even truly realize that anything is wrong.

I think they realize something is wrong hence the whole McNabb benching. The question is do they realize they're part of the problem?
