redskins.com and espn mentioned they all ran 3 types of running plays, that portis right now is faster to the hole than his o-linemen/blockers, and none of the runs were to the outside, so it'd be pretty easy to figure out that you're bum rushing centerfield.

but i think the bigger problem than vanilla offense is really the turnover. a million new players and coaches trying to get everything together and get on the same page. I notice you haven't said much about that though... I don't think the QBs suck, i think the offense needs more time, but i don't think the vanilla offense helps the team... its a good way to get tape and evaluate players, but its NOT a good way to score points (no misdirection/miscues to the defense, not much variation, etc).
