Redskins Offense: What's the Problem?

I get what your saying but TB makes plays in that situation more often than not, that's why he's a HOF QB. Making plays. Sometimes your QB has to make plays. JC's made some and sometimes not. It seems like more often he doesn't lately.

But I think what you are forgetting is before the Super Bowl Brady had all day & night to throw of course he can make plays when his line is blocking so can JC.

If that is the case, then he would have won SB against Giants..

1. Same as last year, we can't throw the ball
2. The line iisn't very good at pass pro
3. The wr's are ok but they can't take over a game.
4. The scheme sucks....too many 5 yard passes.

Can someone explain on 4th and 4, when the game is on the line, we're throwing a 2 yard pass???? WTF Zorn????

They have to throw those short passes (I call them long handoffs) because if Moss isnt open for anything longer then JC cant find another open receiver. They were hoping for a 2yd pass and a 3 yd RAC instead of a sack or incomplete. I still think JC locks onto the primary receiver and if he's not open then JC gets stuck and the result is a sack or throw away.

I just think it's a bunch of bullshit. Why is Moss running a 2 yard pattern on 4th and 4? I'm not sure if JC is not getting off of his 1st guy. But I'm just sooooooooo damn tired of all these short passes.

Like I said, they are hoping for something to happen after the catch. Any longer pass takes too long to develop and if the receiver isnt open than JC doesnt know what to do and seems to get sacked. Better to get 2 yds with the potentail for 2 or 3 more than a sack or incomplete and no chance of getting the yds.

They have to do all these short passes because JC cant look off receivers and throw deep.

Dude, Jason's deep ball is one of the things I love about him. His short to intermediate throws are okay, but his accuracy on the deep ball is fantastic.

Yep, this garbage reminds me of Martyball in 2001, where we mastered the 5 yard completion on 3rd and 6.

From my observations, when Campbell has time, he's hitting his wideouts no problem. However, the last few weeks, it seems the Skins O-Line has been struggling to keep their heads above water. No coincidence that the Skins offense has struggled to score.

Until the line starts consistently giving Campbell time to run the offense, the struggles will continue.

We're not pass protecting very well, that's the biggest problem. We have no time to wait for big plays to develop, so we throw nothing but dinks and dunks which of course defenses can adjust to. They press us and we go nowhere.

Teams have had enough film on Zorn now to study and exploit his tendencies. He needs to show he can adjust schematically, and the players need to show they can man up and handle their matchups.

After sleeping on it I think it's pretty clear today that the line is the main issue. As the saying goes it all starts up front, and JC was getting killed last night and there just weren't many running lanes for the ground game. Not sure what Buges can do about it at this point.

[johnerotten]

i hope like hell that zorn uses the off season to get some veteran oline men and dlineman,or he gets some from the draft!washington would have killed dallas last night with a little better blocking and pass rush.

[DFI]

agreed, it is clearly the o line breaking down that is effecting most everything else on the ofensive side of the ball

The offense has played 10 games with this new system. A lot of the problems will be solved as they grow comfortable with and learn the details of the system, and pass protection figures into that.
