How many points do we think this offense will put up every Sunday?

[skinsfan_nn]

I think with the progress of JC and Co., and a year in this offense we should be able to produce at LEAST 20 points on any given gameday.
Thoughts?

I agree with these numbers.

However, I think it's a rollercoaster. I could see us putting up 35 one week and 13 the next. Not a juggernaut, but dangerous depending upon our opponent, especially their cover guys. I think we can run on most teams but I'm not sure can pass on most teams. This is more a knock against the receivers than it is against Campbell. We need Randle-El or LLoyd or a surprise player to catch 40 balls. 40 big balls.

I think that if a team can put up say 25 points per game that team should win most of their games. I mean when a team only scores 7-14 points a game they have to rely way to much on the D every possesion. The skins need to be able to produce on Offense so that they don;t have to lean on the Defense every opposing possesion.
With what the skins have and my high hopes I think they will have a season average of 24 points per game.

Let me do some math first!

17 + 26 + 46 + 89 + 82 + 47 = 307???

[hooskins]

Last season we averaged 19.1875 ppg. I think because this is the 2nd year in the offense with the same QB, ppg should be a bit higher. Atleast 22-23 ish.

In Kansas City, Saunders offense averaged 30.2 pts/game in both 2003 and 2004 while in 2005, his offense averaged 25.2 pts/game. He averaged 393, 418, and 387 yds/game in 2003, 2004, and 2005 respectfully. Even in 2005 (what looks like his off year), his offense was ranked 6th in the league in pts/game but 1st in yds/game.

Before people start talking about all the talent he had to work with, please note that in 2006, without Saunders, Kansas City dropped to 16th in the league in total offense with 321 yds/game (Note: Washington was 13th), and 15th in the league in scoring (Washington was 20th).

There are also some good numbers to look at in Saunders bio. I'm sure people know how to find this, but it's a good read if you haven't seen it in a while. It gets me excited.

With this in mind, I'm going with between 25 and 30 pts/game for the skins this year.

Nice piece of homework there.....GoSkins
If we do end up putting those kind of numbers up every week, we will easily win 10 or BETTER games.

EXACTLY. I think in the neighborhood of 25 pts/gm give or take a point or two on either end. Saunders has been so successful as a coordinator, it's actually pretty awesome. And other than Tony Gonzalez, the pass catchers on that KC team were never really anything other than role players. With Moss a legit #1 and Cooley being the stud he is, if we can get either ARE or friggin' Lloyd to step up as a legit #2, I think this offense can dominate. If Portis stays healthy he's gonna have a monster season.

I like this thread. Very positive...

For the stats gurus...

Professional Football Researchers Association- Pro Football History


good article on how to determine the effectiveness of an offense and the way turnovers effect pts/game

It claims a turnover is worth 4 pts. on average. (2 lost for your team, 2 for thier team).

The main problem that the skins will have next season is that the NFC East teams will have stout defenses. On top of that, our out of conference and out of division games could be tough defenses too, namely Miami, NE, Chicago, and possibly Tampa Bay. We will have some so called easy defenses to play against in Detroit, GB, Arizona, and Minnesota. IMO the toss-ups are Buffalo and the Jets, who could have tuff defenses depending on how the season plays out. If it weren't for the tough D's we will face that may bring down our average I would have said upper 20's per game. Bottom line I say 24ppg...

On another note, i didn't know where to post this but for those of you who enjoy washington sports, see if u remember this ol' song. I used to love going to Bullets games in the old US Air Arena and hearing this gem. It puts the superbowl shuffle to shame. Now THIS was another franchise who had a horrible FO that overpaid players (juwan howard, gugliotta, etc) and traded away talent. After getting ernie grunfeld though they have turned it around. Funny what a good GM can do to a team:

I think an average of 25 points sounds reasonable.
