Beem, I'm not sure if Torain is a type of back who can carry the rock 30 times or so neither.. But we do have Williams who showed us that he is a capable of running the ball..

You know he had 3 carries for negative yards, and 8 carries where he gained 0-2 yards.

Considering he had that 17 yard run, you can see he really wasn't very effective all day.

Definitely an upgrade from Smoot...and much cheaper too.

Same thing goes when they're in the 2-minute drill like we saw against Tampa Bay. Only when the game is on the line does the offense wake up and play with intensity.

If the other team is struggling offensively, as we saw today, it's practically a given that the Skins will struggle too.

I think tempo is a big deal. Look around the league for the good offenses and they all have such a quick tempo to them. The plays come in quickly and they get out of the huddle fast (or they no-huddle). The Qb gets up and switches protection and then snap and the play is over. Do it all over again. When we pick our tempo back up we seem to execute better too.

We can only score against bad defenses.
