Okay to clarify.
The "screen" pass is something the Skins do not use. The sreen involves throwing a backward or barely foward lateral to a backfield player run out of the back field. The skins do run a WR screen sort of. A real WR screen involves throwing a lateral to the outside receiver as the slot WR blocks out and the TE blocks out. The skins run a similar play that could be called a varation screen where they throw the lateral to the outside WR who has to make his man miss. Presumably the Corner is playing well off. This is called a hitch in the Skins offense but I suppose could be called a screen. As for the counter trey is concerned it is somewhat more ambiguous. The traditional counter trey that Gibbs and comp perfected in his first stint did indeed pull the guard but last year as Gibbs noted about 4 or 5 games into the season they had to adjust it as the defensive players have gotten faster and the Portis was too fast to wait on a pulling guard. They often pulled the center instead to gain a little more quickness on the play. It did not end up being enough though since they ar shifting to a more zome blocking type scheme this year. I doubt we'll see much of a counter trey when our man Portis is playing since it was a disaster for him last year.
Lastly...Demasio is a an idiot. He knows little about football apperently and has a negative bent to virtually all his Skins reporting. I know the post wanted to back off the chumy coverage of the skins but that doesn't mean going completely opposite. Get a guy who knows what he is doing and someone who can report facts and leave out his emotional attachment ot being a super bitch.
