Re: Putting the Redskins in Perspective

This is all very correct. Honestly, Campbell's play seems to be more related to the amount of hits hes taking and the health of the starting receivers than it does to the offensive line, which has been pretty consistently bad, and especially so in the last oh, 6 games.

Just because the OL sucks doesn't necessarily Campbell is taking many hits. It does have to do with the front, I think. We're having trouble with 5 man rushes. Traditionally, the 5 man rush is an awful strategy because the offense will generally get it picked up anyway, and you're taking a player out of coverage and giving the Quarterback more options. However, 5 man rushes have killed the Redskins because 1) we're not picking it up, and 2) the receivers are not getting open against 6 man backfields. We need to find a way to pick up that five man rush and get some people open down the field.

Or throw screens against it. Zorn doesn't throw enough screens for as bad as we are up front.
