Re: Hats off to Mark Brunell setting a NFL record!
The Skins had a game plan and came in and did something they haven't this year: executed.
Mad props to #8 for doing so and doing so in a way that no one had ever done before.
That said, what does this particular game plan really say?
-Does it say that the coaching staff does not want MB throwing deep?
-Is this a game plan that will survive the Jags defense?
-How much of what happened against the Texans was due to #26 being on the field?
If you view a -3 to 5 yard pass (distance down the field before the catch) as merely an extension of the running game, then yesterday the Skins ran 95%+.
Another area of excellance was 3rd down. This is a 3rd down league. The first two games, 3rd down ratios on both sides of the ball were bottom 5. Yesterday, they were top 5.
Finally, for all the problems this year, at least we aren't the Giants. Giant fan has some serious problems to deal with.
