Matty, you are right.. Right after game, I immediately checked the stats because I felt like Torain was given ball like 10-12 times but I saw that he got ball 20 times, which is good balance.. It's just that I believe that by giving Torain more balls would put us in better position to convert 3rd down plays..
Beem, I'm not sure if Torain is a type of back who can carry the rock 30 times or so neither.. But we do have Williams who showed us that he is a capable of running the ball..
You know he had 3 carries for negative yards, and 8 carries where he gained 0-2 yards.
Considering he had that 17 yard run, you can see he really wasn't very effective all day.

X 2. i didn't like it when he was signed but he proved me wrong.
Definitely an upgrade from Smoot...and much cheaper too.

I just wonder about the offense. Why can't they score 30 points when they don't need to? Is it a mental thing? Seems like they only score a lot of points when there's a shootout. Same thing goes when they're in the 2-minute drill like we saw against Tampa Bay. Only when the game is on the line does the offense wake up and play with intensity.
If the other team is struggling offensively, as we saw today, it's practically a given that the Skins will struggle too.
I think tempo is a big deal. Look around the league for the good offenses and they all have such a quick tempo to them. The plays come in quickly and they get out of the huddle fast (or they no-huddle). The Qb gets up and switches protection and then snap and the play is over. Do it all over again. When we pick our tempo back up we seem to execute better too.

We can only score against bad defenses.
