Washington Times - Second half is whole problem
Second half is whole problem - Sports - The Washington Times, America's Newspaper
They know it's happening too often, and they know it has cost them too many games. But the Washington Redskins have no idea why they have struggled in the second half this season. They have been outscored 86-52, have averaged 19 fewer yards of offense and have given up more big plays, all the while squandering three halftime leads. As the Redskins prepared to return to action Sunday against Dallas, whose 122 second-half points are third most in the NFL, they searched for explanations. Receiver Brandon Lloyd: "Hey, if I had an answer, I wouldn't be afraid to talk about it because I'm honest. But I really don't know." Tight end Mike Sellers: "If we did know, it'd be fixed." Defensive end Phillip Daniels: "I don't know why it's happening, but now it's about everybody coming together after halftime." The Redskins' 34-point differential is the sixth worst in the league. Are the Redskins being out-adjusted during the 12-minute halftime? "That could be, and it's something you could make a case for, but I would hope that's not the case," coach Joe Gibbs said. "Certainly everything we're doing leads to our second half. The [problem after halftime] is a fact, and it's something we've looked at." Second-half excellency was a Gibbs trademark during his first 14 seasons with the Redskins. The team outscored its opponents by an average of 177.4-149.9 a season in the second half and overtime. Only three times has a Gibbs-coached Redskins team been outscored in the second half and overtime for a season. This season, the Redskins are on pace to be outscored 197-119. |

Re: Washington Times - Second half is whole problem
Wasn't Gibbs known for making some of the best half time adjustments back in the day? My dad is always telling me how the old Skins used always score at TD on their opening drive of the game and they would always come out fired up for the second half. This current team does neither of these things.
