[KI Skins Fan]

Here is what Ravens coach John Harbaugh said about Jay Gruden's offense when Gruden was first hired by the Redskins:

“It’s a West Coast offense. I think the Grudens have their own patent on their own version of the West Coast offense because they built it so well. But it’s based on running the ball effectively. They’re very physical up front, and three-step, controlled passing. The ball comes out quickly and it’s really hard to get to the quarterback. It’s based on probably a quick read and the ball’s out quick."

As Harbaugh said, the offense is based on running the ball effectively behind a physical OL. That sounds to me like the kind of foundation Scot M. said he wants to build. To me, there doesn't seem to be any philosophical disconnect between Jay and his boss. The Skins just need better personnel.

I think we're getting way ahead of ourselves with some of the analysis we do here. IMO, we're only in Year 1 of a three year team building process. We are still pouring the foundation that will allow us to do what we envision doing in the future. Time will tell what kind of team we'll have become by 2017.
