Zone blocking

[Redskins_P]

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?
