Re: What's wrong with our Red Zone offense?

Redskins are 19th in total offense right in front of the Bears. Skins are 18th in the run and 18th in the pass. Jim Zorn needs to figure if he wants to be a running team or a passing team. I suggest Run that how we were 6-2 last running. Running less that 30 times a game is not going to get it.

We haven't been able to consistently run the ball all pre-season or in the first two games.

I respectfully disagree, we are built to be a passing team right now. The O-line opened 1 run for CP against the Giants, but did much better against a pathetic Rams team. If we wanted to run the ball, we draft 3 lineman in the 2nd round two years ago. Where is this dynamic, high-scoring offense they talked about when Zorn was hired? Its a passing league, running the ball and good defense isnt gonna cut it, not if we want to be a real contender.

Is this a rhetorical question? We can't get TDs. This isn't rocket science. For all of these fancy shmancy schemes and what not, at the end of the day a guy runs or catches a ball in the end zone.

Yes but "why isn't it happening" is the point of the thread.

Re: What's wrong with our Red Zone offense?

Teams stop us from scoring. It is as simple as that. Whether it's talent, mental toughness, play-calling, we'll never know. We're not on the sideline and don't know what's going on within the orginization. I know that we deal in a lot of speculation on the board sometimes but I'm pissed that we're not scoring.

People ask why JR doesn't win races. I say it's simple, it's JR. Does he have a coke problem? Would he rather be fishing? What's the price of rice in China?

I don't know, don't care, couldn't give a eff. Put up or shut up! This isn't aimed at any poster on the board. This is just where I'm at as a fan. I'm not the only one either.
