Running The Ball This Week

[redskin4n]

I would like to provide some stats, and some analysis off the dome. This is my first thread, but I've been here at the Warpath for a while now.

Redskins Offense (3-2)

We score an average of 17.8 points a game, but we are winning.
We gain an average of 337.2 yards per game.
248.6 of those yards are in the air.
88.6 of those yards are on the ground.

Colts Defense (3-2)

They allow an average of 20.8 points a game.
They allow an average of 345.8 yards a game.
203.6 of those yards are in the air.
142.2 of those yards are on the ground.

Before i continue, I'd like to point out that stats mean virtually nothing right now...(Cowboys), but I just wanted to start off by providing some basic background info.

The key to this game is possession. We have to keep Manning on the sideline as long as possible. How do we do that? Run the ball. It worked in the first quarter against the Eagles, and the Eagles have a better run defense than the Colts. I believe the Chiefs pounded the ball effectively against the Colts on the first drive. I'm not sure if the defense made adjustments, or the chiefs held it back. I couldn't watch that game because the Redskins were playing. lol

I think Kyle will run the ball, and then unleash the play-action on the Colts. I'm not saying we need Torain to run for 231 yards like Foster did, but maybe a 1-2 punch between him, and Keiland/Chad can be effective.

Cheers to 4-2
