Could some of the Skins woes be due to an "easy" off-season?

If it is a WCO why do the Skins have 178 attempted passes vs 147 rushes. Shouldn't a WCO be much more pass heavy? If it is a WCO why don't we have possession WRs, instead of undersized fast guys? Why don't our RBs block better. And QB has to be told to let loose the ball faster (yes i know the OLINE sucks), you don't get to check down to the 3rd WR in a WCO. We don't have the players for what the coach wants to do and the coach wasn't smart or inventive enough to come up with something that works for these players.



I really think that the situation has come from the coaching carousel, that our front office has fostered. The Skins have a top 10 maybe top 5 Defense, but the Offense is a mess.

I think you have some things messed up here. We do run plenty of zone blocking, but zone blocking is a run scheme, not a pass scheme.

The whole reason we drafted guys like Thomas, Kelly, Davis, was to have bigger WRs.

The offense might be more pass heavy with a better OL. Tough to pass more when your QB is getting killed.
