Re: Two big problems on offense: 3rd downs & red zone
 

[quote=irish;741377]The Skins best WR (Moss) is just too small to be a factor in the Red Zone and cant win jump balls. Everyone know the Skins cant run the ball and cant do a fade route with their small WRs so IMO it makes them easy to defend.[/quote]

Great point. It would just be nice to have a 2nd reciever in this offense which can make plays down in the redzone or anywhere on the field.

[quote=SirClintonPortis;741440]I bet Heyer was a big reason for those double TE sets. Goes to show what a dropoff he is from Williams.[/quote]

No argument that there's a huge drop off from Williams to Heyer.
But, about Heyer being the [I]reason[/I] for running a lot of Double TEs sets don't know about that.
Being a football nerd i watched the game again.
Heyer received very little help and did a decent job.
Short of a couple times Heyer didn't receive that much help from the TEs (maybe twice in the 1st half) and a few times from Lichtensteiger.
He faired better then Jamal Brown who had his hands full with Chris Long.

I would bet the Double TE sets were used:
o to get our running game kick started
o b/c our TEs corps is better then our WR corps
o to maintain the versatility to pass or run from the same formation without having to change personel
with Cooley, Davis, Sellers, Portis/Torrain, Moss we can run power but still get down the field in the passing game

We were much better converting on 3rd down today

^ Yes we were. Hopefully the offense is starting to gel.
