Our offense CANNOT score!!!

Matty, I think maybe you meant to say how many times have people complained about us running in a short yardage situation-such as the Bucs game, yet not when Green does it.

Not only that but we run with Portis, they run with JJ Arrington. LaVar Arrington would probably average more yards rushing per game than JJ.

In fact on the year I think the Skins have thrown it much more than they've ran it on 3rd and shorts until just recently, so I'm not sure why people would want us to throw it more. :confused:

Now that makes sense. Show the guys up front that you have confidence in them Gibbs. And they better execute. I've said in another post that I didn't think our OL was doing a exceptional job run blocking. And maybe Gibbs thinks that too. Thats why he goes for QB sneaks on 3rd and 2?

Nevermind, lol

don't the players believe we should run the ball on 3rd and short most of the time? i think i read that several players call it our "bread and butter."

i think that if it is our "bread and butter", we need to run it on 3rd and short more often than pass. i think it's just more pronounced when we get stuffed- a bunch of people are going to yell "conservative."

if you do it more often than not, you can surprise the opposing D with a rollout b/c they aren't looking for it (ala Royal last weekend).
