Re: Redskins Offense: What's the Problem?

I thought I posted this before but apparently I closed my browser before I had a chance.

Anyway I feel like the problem with the all the sacks and the problem with the offense in general is the fact that we're barely trying to push the ball downfield. I realize Zorn might have a big plan and the WCO is predicated on the short pass, but how many times did we really try to throw deep last night. Once or twice, maybe more?

If my theory is correct the last few teams we've played have no respect for our deep ball. Even though we have Moss and a cannon arm in Campbell. It seems Zorn has become content with just running slants, curls, and screens. What I want to know is wheres the posts, corners, hitch n' go's (in theory a great route considering what we're doing now)? In the meantime opponents seem to feel pretty comfortable running suicide blitzes knowing we're probably going to try something short rather then making them pay deep with Cooley or Moss. In the meantime the running game suffers because teams have realzied we're not going deep and as an extension of that we can't run play action, which seems to be Zorn's prefence when it comes to going long.

In conclusion I think the key to future success is incorporating the deep ball to push defenses back. Either way I want to see the offense that beat the Cowboys, Saints, and Cardinals. Not the monstrosety (SP?) that we saw on opening night against the Giants.
