Exactly. That was Part I of the plan. Part II of the plan was to not turn the ball over ourselves. The Plan was sound and it worked!
This game was actually very well planned by the coaching staff and well executed, for the most part, by the players. It was an Old School Redskins win. George Allen would have been very proud.
The Redskins won a lot of games under George Allen and Allen drove me crazy with his conservative offense during most of them - all the way to the Super Bowl!
Look, the Head Coach needs to be able to assess his team's strengths and weaknesses and find a way to win with the personnel he has to work with. Jay Gruden is doing just that. Get used to the idea that we'll be leaning on our defense and winning ugly.
I posted here that, at this point in his tenure, Jay Gruden should be judged only by wins and losses. To be fair, i need to stick to that criteria in my own mind. So, by my own standard, Jay Gruden is doing a great job so far this season.
