Yea, its sure beats freaking out about what a shitty draft we had.
I'm optimistic too, but most of these guys have4nt played a down for us yet.
Having said that I still expect us to win the division again.

Re: How much have we improved player personnel?

From and Xs and Os stand point, how would you improve the run game next year?

After all, the HC's attitude towards the run game (which isn't reflected in the play calling stats: post #47) doesn't miss blocks or inside cuts.

Lol, right. Run focused Jay, you're funny.

You know what I dont get? Why ask me questions when its obvious that you dont give 2 hoots about my response? And really have no interest in any real dialogue?

But since were old friends ill give you a broad strokess answer on how the run game could have been better last year.

1) Commit to the run.
2) Choose a RB and design a scheme based on their strengths and give them the bulk of the carries
3) Change how you block the POA on your base run game if the key personnel can't get it done
4) Be more diverse in types of runs
5) Expand and focus on nickel package run game

No comment about the rest of post huh? Figures.

What should we expect in the run game from the lol, run focused Jay Gruden?

Did you copy and paste this from a write up of one of Phil Simms' pre-game segments?

If only Gruden, McVay, and Callahan would have done 1 through 5.

Gruden is a balanced offensive coach.

Nah, me, Mike S and Bobby Turner had a cram session on how to improve our game.

I know right? You're starting to come around I see. But, don't fret.

Nah, not really.

And even less so when talking about his philosophy and forte on offense.
Hey man its cool.

The TEs ability to block the edge shouldn't be an issue this year; what should we expect from the run game?

We may not have run well but we had the 11th highest run-to-pass ratio last year.

Team Rushing Play Percentage: 2015 NFL Season

Despite being in the top half of the league in actual rushing attempts (also 11th), our yards per attempt was ranked 29th (3.7 yds/att).

We ran. Not well, but we ran the ball - more so than 21 other teams.

Re: How much have we improved player personnel?

jay isn't run focused, but his play calling was pretty balanced, even when we were only getting 2 ypc, he still called a bunch of runs.

i'm not sure where the problem is there (yes i do, outside blocking and hesitation), but here's hoping they figure it out.

Re: How much have we improved player personnel?

I just look at some the players that can be considered cornerstones for the next stage of the Redskins.

On offense you got:

Jordan Reed
Jamison Crowder
Josh Doctson
Trent Williams
Brandon Scherff

Defense:
Chris Baker
Ryan Kerrigan
Junior Galette
Josh Norman
Bashaud Breeland
Su'a Cravens
Kendall Fuller

and a few wild cards in:
Matt Jones
Keith Marshall
Will Compton
Kyoshen Jarrett (I hope he comes back healthy)
Morgan Moses
