During the preseason, especially against the Patriots, it seemed like we were previewing that type of offensive philosophy. But, so far in the regular season, we haven't really seen the Redskins try for a home run shot down field. I think that might be the answer. Heck, Zorn needs to have this philosophy: if I'm going to go down in flames, I'm going to at least open things up...live by the sword, die by the sword.

Who knows? Maybe trying more huge passes down field will open up a better red zone offense, running attack, etc.... it couldn't hurt.
