2nd half concerns

I saw the last game as it was more that the backs couldn't see the open running lanes than it was the iggles defense. I just thought with him coming to town that we would have seen more big plays with the ball in his hands than he's provided. I still think it's too early to deem it a bust of a move, but he hasn't been the back we thought and hoped he'd be so far in his season and a half with the team which has multiple factors. And the present he still isn't leading the offense to a top 5-10 rushing offense like we thought he might.

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.

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
