Will Jay's offense follow Scott's lead?

[NYCskinfan82]

Your probably right. We have a WR that can take the roof of any DF so run in the 40 - 45% is realistic.

All this talk about power running is fine. But remember we still have question marks at four positions. The right side will have new starters that are unproven. Kory L isn't moving any nose tackles off the line. Shawn L was a disappointment. Even Trent is coming off a so so year for him. Usually when you have this many question marks it means the line will struggle and I think it will.

Then again,
we have acquired best O-line coach in the league.
Drafted the Best O-lineman in the league
Some recent draft products may likely come to fruition
So...maybe All This Talk has...roots
And I think it does

I have a lot of faith in Callahan as an OLine coach. He's one of those guys who are so good at their position coaching that he won't stay around long. Look at Dallas' line. I think it was worse than ours a few years ago and now its a strength. Add a strong draft pick and a top 5 LT and our line will be much improved. It may take one more draft to make it a top line but it is a lot closer now than it was.

Great observation.

What reason was given for his split with Dallas?

It's a lateral move so there was a falling out somewhere.

He had playcalling duties stripped when they brought in Scot Linehan, and I think his contract expired so he left. I don't know that it was bad blood just a mutual parting of the way.

For sure bro. I have had my expectations dashed so many times I have learned to temper them until I actually see something.

Redskins RB Alfred Morris on power run game: 'right up my alley' - Washington Redskins Blog - ESPN
Redskins coach Jay Gruden has made it clear Morris is their man.

"Alfred is our feature back, obviously," he said, "but in the NFL nowadays it's important to have two, three guys that can carry the ball. If you want to commit to running the football, you've got to have a couple guys that can tote it, so Matt will just add to the number."

Difference between Dallas line with bill c and our line is I'm pretty sure they have multiple #1 picks on that line and a solid vet as well? I have hope, but we better hope that motivation and technical coaching builds more muscles in our guys lol...

Well we now have 2 first round picks on ours and some other decent young talent. One of Dallas' first round picks really was slotted more like a second/third so I am hopeful he can coach guys like Long up.

I am sure between Callahan Gruden and SM we will draftOL high next year too.

We're just getting started on revamping our OL. Let's give it a chance before making comparisons to Dallas.

[Hog1]

I would think in a couple more seasons. the Skins will have a...formidable line and running game.
and as SM said......
Teams are going to remember playing the Redskins......

[ultimate1warrior]

I'm hearing that the offense is going be a run first and that Rg3 is going to go back to more read option and be allowed to run more than the last few seasons. Dan Snyder is the reason that Rg3 got the 2016 contract pick up . Snyder loves him some Rg3. I think it is a wise move to try and bring back some of what made him great in his rookie season. Can Rg3 learn to slide and make plays on the move wisely like Russell Wilson and Colin Kaepernick is the real question. I look for a lot of changes in offense, defense and special teams. Scot will have his stamp everywhere on the team. Look for physical play and good tackling... still may take a few seasons to get the ball rolling however.

Small situational sample size makes judging Redskins’ play calling difficult | Rich Tandler's Real Redskins

The surprising stat that I found was that the Redskins ran just 91 plays when they were up by seven points or more. That’s pathetic. The average NFL team ran 230 plays with a lead of a touchdown or more. But the Redskins ran just about five and a half per game.

But the average is deceiving. They ran 53 of those plays with a lead of a touchdown or more in Week 2 against the Jaguars. The other 38 snaps came in two other games, the Week 3 shootout in Philadelphia and in Week 9 in Minnesota. So in 13 games they didn’t take a single snap with a lead of at least seven points.
