Wild Card Chances as Fall Back Option

[REDSKINS4ever]

Part of the problem in pass defense is the Redskins defensive backs were playing trail technique in their coverages. Trail technique is something Raheem Morris brought with him from Tampa Bay. For instance that 77 yard bomb from Eli Manning to Victor Cruz earlier this season was a result of Madieu Williams playing trail technique. The play was suppose to go to Hakeem Nicks and Williams was actually playing Nicks to the inside. Cruz then flies up the field and runs past Madieu Williams and Josh Wilson and Eli Manning hits him in stride.

That trail technique is the reason why the Redskins are ranked 31st against the pass. In the last two games against the Eagles and Cowboys, the Redskins defensive backs didn't play trail technique as frequently.
