Redskins Offense: What's the Problem?

[skinsnut]

Someone mentioned shotgun...I mentioned this like a month ago....and we rarely see it.
Rollouts are rare too.

One thing about Gibbs, when the Oline needed help, he adjusted.

Zorn does not adjust....his "Rookiness" has been showing for a month.
That is why when everyone was saying he was a "5" out of 5....I still graded him a 3.
He hasn't been tested yet....now, he has been a couple games straight and he just has not kept ahead of the curve.

He better get his crap together soon or we may just be vanilla all the way out of the playoff race.

Considering that we have the same line coach, scheme, and players, I'm not sure that I agree with this. As much as it sucks to say I think the O-line's non-rookiness has been showing for a month. The guys are getting old and showing a real inability to handle more athletic pass-rushers. Rabach and Jansen have been liabilities all season but, unfortunately, the whole unit appears to be regressing.

This is not a knee-jerk overreaction, we have a big problem here.

I think many of us are struggling to accept this - I know I am and reading through most of the threads right now it shows up a lot. Remember we also had a big problem last year w/ the o-line. Yeah I know there were a slew of unforeseen injuries but doesn't that just make the case for better (hopefully much better depth). Don't mistake me here. I'm not pointing fingers at anyone on this board. We're the fans, the spectators looking on w/o most of the info the people running the team have available to them. We see game day. We don't see how back-ups, or rookies prior to opening day, are progressing.

What's mind-boggling is that since '07 the FO didn't do anything about the line or to get an impact receiver (already familiar w/ the WCO) who could at least give us a shot at rounding out the offense.
