Samuels hasn't been 100% healthy this year, and Thomas was out with an injury...that is two other linemen in addition to Jansen. Then we have Coles that has been playing with a dislocated finger and a toe injury. Wouldn't you agree having a dislocated finger is going to effect you catching a ball? Wouldn't a toe injury effect your running speed?
And don't try to paint the picture that I'm saying injuries are the only reason why this offense has sputtered this year....pay attention! It's contributed...but also having a new system to learn, quarterback problems, Gibbs having to adjust back to the NFL, and inconsistancy with the receivers has contributed. It hasn't been because Joe Gibbs doesn't know how to play call anymore..that's pretty lame not to mention ridiculous!
