Re: Redskins Offense: What's the Problem?
This is a combination of line play and play calling.
If you noticed in the first month the line was playing better when the defenses didn't know what to expect because Zorn was new. Well since then, Zorn continues to call the same exact plays regardless of opponent, thinking we can simply execute. There were no adjustments for the Pitt defense with misdirection, screens, draws...etc There were no adjustments for the Dallas weakness...deep passes in the secondary. Bottom line is Zorn hasn't made any playcalling adjustments...certainly not at halftime. And this one he had 2 weeks to plan. It is entirely possible that this head coaching thing is taking so much of his time that he cannot dedicate to put in new plays and adjust offensive play calling as well as he should. The lines play becomes easier if the defense is either off balance or if there is a lot of smash mouth running (since our lines strength is run blocking) Right now, neither is going on.....how hard is it to predict a slant on 3rd and 3 anyways? I am also getting a bit concerned on Zorn's ability to "inspire" the team for big games. The defense seems "ok" but they dont have a killer instinct. The offense needs a major adjustment, it has for weeks....if Pitt and Dallas after a bye doesn't result in an adjustment....I don't know what will. Get ready for some more vanilla offense.
