Redskins-Bears Reviews (and Analysis)

[SmootSmack]

Torain and Williams pass blocking performances compared to Ganther and Mason isn't something to be overlooked. Good observation

What I'm starting to notice about Kyle Shanahan as I watch and re-watch these games is that he's extremely creative in devising formations and plays but where I think he's struggling is when to use them.

Great job as always G-tripp.

Missed the majority of the game unfortunately this week, so glad to catch up this way.

I think the fact that the offense isn't clicking play-to-play is limiting his ability to freely call some stuff. He's sticking to the stuff he trusts McNabb to execute. I really believe as McNabb picks the offense up it will open stuff up a little and allow KS to be more diverse in play calling. My only complaint this year has been some head-scratcher play calls on 3rd downs generally. We seem to have one or two a game where we eschew the obvious high percentage play for something "creative" that doesn't end up working.

I do like he creativity...but knowing when to run it is freaking huge. He is extremely inconsistent, he will "get hot" but that is usually last a quarter or quarter and half at the most. Its just is important for the playcaller to get in a rhythm as well as the quarterback. For some reason when the pace of the game is-i dunno how to put it but-faster?, he and Donovan seem to do well. Id like to see hurry up some, Id like to see shotgun as opposed to Donovan play actioning 4 plays in a row, Id like to see an well excuted screen pass, I dont like to see 3 consecutive boots in the redzone...Ive been up and down on the playcalling and when we try stuff...
