Werd. Betts is just a slower, less explosive Portis. at least Duckett could bring something new to the run game on those downs. Sellers would remain the surprise heavy hitter. that way we'd have M,L,XL at running back. no one needs "Extra Medium" in Betts.

This article by Thomas Boswell sums things up perfectly on offense. We need to say the hell with these cutesy reverses and end arounds, and get back to playing smashmouth football. This is what this offense is built for and it plays right to our strength. I think Gibbs needs to tell Saunders to put together a back to basics game plan from here on out and let's scrap the majority of his infamous 700 page playbook.

If we want to win folks, we have to run. It's very simple. Control the clock, dominate the opponent, and keep our seriously hurting 'D' off the field as much as possible.

Let's get back to Redskins football!

I read it too & couldn't agree more. I think Gibbs will put his foot down & we'll pound Indy!

Titans ginin up 170+ and they're the ones that ran it down our throat. pitiful. we lloked like the 0-5 titans and they looked like a team with a winning record. We score 14 points with no problem and what happens i dont know but we needed to run the damn ball. I say get Brunell out of there NOW!!! put jason in!! he cant do no worse. our D needs to get their heads outta their ASS.

Sheriff Gonna Getcha · 10-16-2006, 05:38 PM

I've seen Portis in on many 3rd downs.

SmootSmack · 10-16-2006, 10:54 PM

I didn't see the Titans Game so I can't comment on it specifically. But what's baffling me is this: As "gimmicky" as Saunders may be, his offense at its core is like Gibbs'. It's predicated on the run. That's been a staple of both coaches' offense for the past twenty+ years so I guess I'm not understanding what the issue is now.

So with that in mind, let me throw this out there. And maybe it belongs in a second thread. Or not at all. But here goes

Are we masking serious issues with the offensive line? Is Samuels not worth mentioning in the same breath as guys like Lachey, Roaf, Pace? Is Dockery an average, at best, guard? Is Thomas not fully healthy? And so on?

I Don't understand. We got 300 pounders up front,a 280 lb. fullback, a 254 lb. tailback, and CP, is Al Saunders drunk?! Have they forgotten the ole' counter tre? WTF?:confused- HAIL from MCUSA!
