Zone blocking

For those of you who think that Gibbs is not making any changes on the offensive side of the ball, read this from the Washington Post article today. It looks like we'll be seeing more zone blocking/stretch plays to better suit Portis. And Gibbs is finally giving the shotgun formation a chance.

{On offense, the team continues to work on the shotgun, a formation Gibbs shunned in the past, and is implementing more stretch plays with zone blocking, better suited to Portis and akin to how he played in Denver after the Redskins tried to be a power running team at the start of last season.

"We were set on being a smash-mouth team," Portis said. "That's what we wanted to go out and do. Unfortunately, that didn't win us a lot of games, so we changed a few things up."}

What do you guys think?

Good news, Redskins P. Now if we can only talk Gibbs into running a few slant routes he'll almost be in the 00's!

lol hahahaha

Or we can have him use Chad Morton to block Mike Strahan and then he can go coach some college boys down in South Carolina

It's amazing the lack of respect you show to Gibbs. But of course, he hasn't earned it in your mind, right?

I apologize to all mods in advance.


Daseal, why are you such a cock? Everytime someone posts something postitive about the team, you go out of your way to spoil it. Cheer up man. Get laid. Do something.

LOL, ouch

We want changes in personnel not formations.
Our O-line is suffering.

It might be a little too late to be making changes in personnel. I think the coaching staff is happy with they got.

What is our O-line suffering from? The flu? Athletes foot? What do you mean?

HAHA! The o-line is fine. Jansen, Rabach, Samuels are (borderline) Pro Bowlers.

The personnel is not going to change, and shouldn't. It's not like we're working with subpar talent, we've just gotten subpar results. Playing smashmouth with Portis is just misusing his talent. I think playing in that style will ultimately make Portis tougher, but I'd much rather see Portis running downhill than to see him barreling into the line trying to move the pile. Whatever it takes to win more games, I'm for that.
