Re: The Redskins Offense
I think the run success we had the first few games may have mislead us into unreasonable expectations. This is pretty much a brand new O line unit.
Besides Trent (who missed 1 game); long, leribeus, schref and moses did not start or play together last year.
Cooley said 2 things yesterday:
- Mcvay is absolutely calling every single play; and
- While Callahan does not dictate the play calls, he helps preparing the weekly offensive game plan and Callahan likes to run out of 1 back sets, uses TE in run formations and doesnt like to run out of the I or strong formation = stud FB darrel young is getting very few snaps.
The loss of Paul and Paulsen was a huge loss for the type of run game Callahan likes. Add to that our coaches collective inability to adjust scheme to personnel = trending to a historically bad run game.
Ive never seen a 4 game stretch where any team has run for 51 yards or less.
this is historically, record breaking bad.
Coaches had the bye to "self critique" and come up with some new looks and I didnt see any change to the run game against NE.
run out of the I, get DY in there, hell give DY the ball 5 times a game.
Do something besides ask Reed and Carrier to be the point of attack (good call weeks ago 30 gut).
stacks - good call on some draw plays, do something besides what we have been doing the past 5 games or so.
