Our backs got hit behind the line of scrimmage this year more than any Redskins team in memory. With so many passing weapons, you would think that it would be easier to run the ball. Gruden gets very little out of the running game, and that problem needs to be solved.
We can start to improve the running game by acknowledging some things:

1. We are weak at LG and C.
2. We don't have a prime RB on the team.
3. Our TE blocking is pathetic.
4. Our play-calling is predictable and unimaginative.
5. We need to carry a FB on the roster for certain situations.

If the staff would admit these deficiencies and stop tolerating mediocrity, the running game problems could be solved.

You can't fix everything in the offseason, but I think the C position is serviceable. We certainly need a LG. You can find a decent back in the draft or via FA.

I believe you're gonna see a focus on defense. We need safeties and need to get faster, overall, in the back 7. I like Compton, as he's smart and tough. He typically is where he's supposed to be, but he's slow. Outside of Baker, on the defensive line, then it's a bunch of "ordinary" personnel.

I suspect you'll see us be judicious when it comes to defensive personnel, this offseason. I sense we'll be active in FA and defense being the main focus in the draft.
