Redskins @ Eagles 11/12/06 game thread

From PFT:

In our view, we think that the Redskins' use of Portis is no different than the Falcons' efforts to cram the round peg of Mike Vick's talent into the square hole of the West Coast offense. Yeah, Al Saunders is famous (sort of) for his offensive attack. But the challenge when taking the playbook to a new town is to adapt the offense to the strengths of the players who'll run it.

It could be that Saunders and the 'Skins have gotten the message. ESPN's Sal Paolantonio reports that Portis will be the focal point of the game plan on Sunday against the Eagles, and that fullback Mike Sellers will be used as a lead blocker in the hopes of clearing Philly's linebackers out of the way, allowing Portis to get through to the secondary.

That's exactly what we need to see. Oh, and the D needs to find its 'A' game.

Brilliant! I didn't realize that Sellars would be used as a lead blocker for Portis.

They should also add that another focal point will be for Brunell to be efficient with with his short throws add hit Moss long when he is matched up one-on-one... because no one knows that either.

Like the obvious statement that 'we should run the ball', it needs to be re-stated cos the meesage isn't getting through.

that is a madden-esque comment. kinda like saying, the team thats scores the most points is going to win the game, so both teams will try to score the most points today.
