So what's the reason now to stubbornly stick to his brand of 'run the ball down your throat' football? I mentioned in another thread everyone got all lathered up about a 'return to Redskins football' down the stretch last year when we racked up like 140 rushing yards per game and went 2-5..
The stubborness of sticking to his system signals to me that either we have subpar talent and he's doing what he can to mask it and still win or he's determined to make his way work despite the overwhelming evidence to the contrary.
