There just isn't much of a west coast element in the Redskins offense.
And I'd add one observation I made in re-watching the 2009 and 2011 seasons over the last two weeks: the Redskins are far more likely to use running plays which you would call man to man blocking schemes under Kyle Shanahan than they were under Jim Zorn/Sherm Smith/Sherm Lewis.

Actually do you know who invented the bunch sets? Gibbs 1 with The Posse.
