BS, the reason we’re not running well is because we’re too damn predictable.

Pain and simple we do not bock anyone, our line is overhyped and overpaid, the effort is just not there.

You are all missing the point. Teams are crowding the line, stuffing the run and daring Freeman to beat them. The answer to that isn’t to run more up the gut, it is to air the damn ball out. Go up top to Jackson and Williams, exploit all of the single coverage downfield they are getting and the running game will take care of itself.

Teams are not going to stop crowding the line until Freeman hangs 50 on someone. They could have and should have done that to the Giants, instead of getting into the fetal position after they took a lead into halftime.

One of the few staples of Gruden’s offense that I think we should be seeing is play action booleg passes. With as much as we run up the gut, and as good as Free is on the move, it makes no sense why this isn’t being run frequently.

I don’t understand why they insist on running up the gut every single time, it has become way too predictable. Whatever happened to running sweeps and off tackle runs?

Put Blount in for just a half a quarter and see how well the “blocking” becomes. I agree lightning, sounds like excuses

He’s making excuses for his 1st round pick that he traded up to get!

Amen Bucfanjeff.

I’m tired of the 2 receiver sets. You have to mix it up.

If we open up the game in a 4\5 wide set, the Redskins will sh!t themselves.

Not saying we do that all game of course.

We need to remember that while Freeman and the guys on that side of the ball are learning a new offense, Mike Sullivan is learning how to call plays. All of them should improve as the season goes along, and regular, steady improvement should be the goal of this season. This isn’t a playoff team, yet. With steady improvement throughout the season and another solid offseason, this should be a solid playoff team next year.

A few scrambles will open things up tremendously ! Coaches need to put players in a position to succeed, be unpredictable !
