Look at the way the raiders got stomped...and the viks lost because the other teams dont respect the pass. There needs to be some focus on getting the passing attack on board. With a dynamic rusher like portis and even betts on your squad you have to trust that once the passing attack gets on board that it will free up the run and not vice versa.

For far too long, the Redskins have bowed to the altar of a grind-it-out offense to the point of being plodding and predictable.

Can someone please point out the rule which prohibits 4-wide shotgun formations on first down in quarters 1-3?

For pete's sake let's open it up once in awhile.
