Will Jay's offense follow Scott's lead?

The title of this thread puzzles me. I assume McCloughan is drafting for our system, offense, defense, special teams. The schemes that our coaches run. If Gruden wants better power run blocking, McCloughan should draft accordingly, and vice versa if pass blocking. Even going "BPA", it's based on your system. If BPA overall is a small but fast 3-4 inside linebacker, but you run a 4-3, he's probably not BPA on your board.

As far as playcalling, that's up to coach. The only influence McCloughan has is how well the players he drafts can run the play, right?

I pray that McCloughan and Gruden are on the same page period. Otherwise we will continue to suck regardless of who "follows whose lead" in the front office. I hate that there is any doubt about this.
Do you really believe this could have been......overlooked?
And if Jay cannot make it happen, guess what the next competition is?

An easy example for me is Mike Shanahan. I was (don't stone me) a huge fan of Mike Shanahan's Denver WCO and during his tenure in Denver, through all manner or defenses and QBs and RBs his pass/run ratio was: 48 run / 52 pass. Mike Shanahan is a run oriented coach....

Intersting comments from Mike Shanahan on whether or not Alfred Morris has regressed last year:
"The question is how much do you believe in the running game? How many attempts are you going to have per game?....Its a mindset"

Mike goes on to talk about the...Redskins (SB era) ran the ball ~31 times a game and only had YPC 4.1 but their running game set-up big plays through their play-action game.

Mike Shanahan Opens Up About RGIII, Snyder, Read-Option « CBS DC (http://washington.cbslocal.com/2015/05/22/mike-shanahan-opens-up-about-rgiii-snyder-read-option/)

Shanahan expressed little surprise that Redskins general manager Scot McCloughan said he’d received little trade interest for Cousins this offseason. But that doesn’t change his opinion of the quarterback, Shanahan said – especially if he lands in a situation where a team puts a bigger emphasis on the running game.
“I think Kirk Cousins will be a big-time player for a lot of years in the National Football League,” Shanahan said.
He later added: “I’ve seen first hand what he can do and once he gets a team with a little balance he’ll have a very successful NFL career.”

Shanahan's quarterback track, post Elway, leaves a lot to be desired. Plus he harbors a grudge against Griffin. That plays a big factor in his endorsement of Cousins.

The point I was trying to illustrate is Mike Shanahan (with a career run/pass ratio of ~50/50) basically questioning Jay's commitment to the running game and his lack of balance in play calling. Which was part of the question being addressed in the OP whether Jay's play calling married up to Scott's run focused philosophy.

IMO Jay wanted to show everyone my passing attack can win games. Granted we where behind early in a lot of games. This year our OLine dictates run, run, run, run and pas.

If you had to guess at pass% what you think 60%, 55%, under 55%?

I want to say 50% run/pass but if the run, run, run, run and pass works. What are you thinking/guessing/predicting ?

I think that Jay will be Jay; he's a WCO guy, former QB and he has some good concepts in his passing offense. So I doubt we'll see a Cowboys style paradigm shift from pass heavy to run heavy in one season. But with all this rhetoric and improvements to the run game (coaching and personnel) I would guess Jay will run the ball more moving from a 40% clip last year to a 44% clip.

It would be awesome if we were 50% run though.

Your probably right. We have a WR that can take the roof of any DF so run in the 40 - 45% is realistic.
