GTripp0012:

You are ABSOLUTELY correct. I was not even trying to hint that the Lions' offense was equivalent to - let alone superior to - the Redskins' offense. It is NOT! There are plenty of problems regarding the Skins' offense, but the worst of the Skins' problems pales in comparison to the cesspool that is the Lions' offense.

My point was that after ten games, the Skins have scored fewer TDs than the worst team in the league - - and no matter how anyone wants to parse the statistics, that cannot be a good thing.

I think the Skins' offense has four strength areas:

Excellent running backs

Excellent Tight End

Better than average QB

Good run blocking OL plus H-back.

I think the Skins' offense has three areas of weakness:

Bad pass blocking OL - particularly up the middle.

Mediocre corps of WRs - not helped by the non-productivity of any rookies.

Way too much "specialization" - - requiring "personnel packages" and "formation orientations" to run various plays.

Believe me, the Detroit Lions would love to have those as their only weaknesses on offense...
