2nd half concerns

My biggest concern is the lack of pass rush from the defensive line. I know the Skins are currently ranked #1 against the Pass, however the lack of pressure is giving teams the ability to break a big play.

Not so sure Portis is capable of 25-30 carries a game opn a regular basis mainly because of his fragility. I don't think he can hold up with that many carries.

i think we have to keep the same mentality as far as the running game.even if you are not having alot of sucess with it,you still have to keep banging away to keep defenses honest.coach gibbs has done an excellent job maintaining time of possesion with the short passing game to cooley and the running backs.our play calling from last year to this year is like night and day,100% improvement
