The Fact-Based Truth About The Redskins' 2012 Offense
If we run goal line a few times a game, nobody is calling it a goal line offense. So why say something is our offense when it's not being run but a handful of times a game? There are definitely teams in college that run it a heck of a lot more often and you could say that's their offense. |
Two things. I think what GMM probably means, and many of us agree with, is our offense a) doesn't offer a lot of variety beyond two man routes, a few stretch run plays and the RO b) doesn't seem to work at all unless the RO is working.
The other thing is it all adds up to a running QB, and nobody outside this board seems to think that's good.
So it all boils down to why isn't the offense progressing?? RG's injury/recovery, lack of talent, coaching?? Thing is one guy is ultimately responsible for all those answers. He's also ultimately responsible for a terrible defense, special teams and win record the last four years.
