Bad:
The run game overall. But, here is something specific I've noticed since the preseason.

Compton, despite being a very good run blocker, hurts more then helps the run game when he plays TE.

Whenever Compton comes in at TE the defense KNOWS it a run.

Last game: He came in at TE 5 times by my count for a total of 6 yards gained.
Thats 1.2 ypc on run plays with Compton at TE. 3 of those runs were for no gain.

Whenever it's first down for the Skins the defense knows it's a run.

They gotta sit down and get some honest self scouting going....identify and break their own tendencies.

One tendency I've been saying for awhile is too heavy with the 1st down runs and 2nd down pass.

I finally looked up the 2nd downs from (markbullock's spreadsheet) 339 2nd down plays.

235 passes
104 runs

If my math is correct thats 31% run vs 69% pass on 2nd down.

We are way too predictable. Atlanta was running two big, fat defensive linemen onto the field for first down and right back off the field, replaced by pass rushers, on second down all game long until the 4th Qtr.
