Re: Who's your pick's for next HC, DC and OC?
The problem with the argument that the offense is doing well overall is two things:
The Redskins have played the 32nd ranked schedule of defenses according to Football Outsiders.
A lot of the points-yards discrepancy is because the defense is scoring at a considerable rate.
Both of these are major factors which when considered re-categorizes the offense as average-ish. The running game is good. Really good. It's carrying the offense. Since the bye, it's been the top running game in the NFL. The passing game is still wildly inconsistent at best and not very good at worst. In sum, the offense has not been a great asset this year, at least according to the numbers.
The defense has also been wildly inconsistent, but their ranking is probably more harsh than their performance. They rank in the bottom quarter of the league by most measures, but they're not that far off from average. They've just faced a really tough schedule.
