Run the damn football!

Werd. Betts is just a slower, less explosive Portis. at least Duckett could bring something new to the run game on those downs. Sellers would remain the surprise heavy hitter. that way we'd have M,L,XL at running back. no one needs "Extra Medium" in Betts.

We have a 254 pound hammer on the bench in Duckett... where is he??

This article by Thomas Boswell sums things up perfectly on offense. We need to say the hell with these cutesy reverses and end arounds, and get back to playing smashmouth football. This is what this offense is built for and it plays right to our strength. I think Gibbs needs to tell Saunders to put together a back to basics game plan from here on out and let's scrap the majority of his infamous 700 page playbook.

If we want to win folks, we have to run. It's very simple. Control the clock, dominate the opponent, and keep our seriously hurting 'D' off the field as much as possible.

Let's get back to Redskins football!

I read it too & couldn't agree more. I think Gibbs will put his foot down & we'll pound Indy!

[Hail2em]

Titans ginin up 170+ and they're the ones that ran it down our throat. pitiful. we lloked like the 0-5 titans and they looked like a team with a winning record. We score 14 points with no problem and what happens i dont know but we needed to run the damn ball. I say get Brunell out of there NOW!!! put jason in!! he cant do no worse. our D needs to get their heads outta their ASS.

Running the football has been the cornerstone of the Skins offense. It's time to start running the ball, even if coming from behind.

Even though Brunell has yet to be sacked outside the division, max protection is going to be a problem. Portis is always replaced by Betts on third down. Portis is one of the leagues best blocking backs. We no longer have a TE who can pass block for shit. Sellers always comes out for a third WR. So what you have is a very pressured Mark Brunell on third down. I think he's done an admirable job moving the chains under duress, but eventually it will catch up to us. If they blitz on third, we are in trouble. If they drop 7 on third, its tough to get more than 8 yards.

RUN THE DAMN FOOTBALL!

We're too busy running 547 different variations of the screen pass.

I've seen Portis in on many 3rd downs.
