Re: O line
Good post and conversation, it seems we can all agree that with those two bombs and that we have some true playmakers that can beat the deep coverage. We need to beat that blitz and challenge some of those safeties like earlier posted with Patten and Moss. I think those two plays will open and give the Offense alot of confidence to go deep more often. I think Dallas did a good job of game planning for blitzes with the screens and quick passes which showed in that 1st drive. They new we were coming, but the Skins countered and cut back on the blitzes as heavily and played solid D with occassional blitzes to keep them off beat alittle. Our O line is solid, but taking on a team that blitzed as much as the Cowboys you wear down and miss some blitzes. Key is make a few teams pay beating them with the deep ball and once Gibbs gets adjusted and figures out which plays he has in his arsenal will do just that. Throwing it away to avoid the blitz is not effective way to get Defenses from stop blitzing and urges them to continue if you throw it away to kill your drives.
