Dallas L postgame

[BaltimoreSkins]

From Keim:
On Sunday, Washington ran the ball when Wentz was under center on 18 of 20 snaps. They did average 5.2 yards on those runs; very good. But the one pass completion lost one yard.
Passed the ball on 41 of 50 times when in shotgun. 4.17 per attempt.

IMO this is a problem. The lack of variety here telegraphs to the defense what is coming. I am not a big advocate of running out of shot gun due to lack of acceleration at the handoff, but something needs to be done to make passing/running less noticeable. I also think ST needs to work with CW to step into the "pocket" instead of back peddaling. This will enhance his views of open targets. While I do question whether the o-line can hold a pocket completely they weren't the biggest problem with the offense against Dallas (minus when Leno and Norwell decided to block each other)

Yesh ... thats a clear tell.

Wentz is showing happy feet in the pocket, taking these mini steps ... I thought his pocket presence was one of his strengths.

Just give me those quick hit 3-5 step drop plays, back foot plants = ball comes out.

Slants to Terry, double crosses ... easy pitch and catch plays. Feed Terry early.

If you ever listen to the Kevin Sheehan podcast, he has Chris Cooley on there to break down the games. This was the first thing Cooley pointed out...the success they had running the ball with the zone schemes, but then had no play action or any passing out of that same scheme. So this is the NFL, doesn't take long to figure that out. 2 weeks in a row where Scott Turner has not looked like a competent OC.

Listened to it. Re-watched it. Spot on.

Not regularly but I checked out the break down you recommended yesterday. Didn't disagree with Cooley on his assessment.

Side note: I continued to listen to Thursday's podcast and Kevin and Thom are talking about a fan survey of 1,000 ticket holders in which Dan had a 5% positivity rating and Bruce was at 6% and the news out of Ashburn was they were both shocked they were so ill-liked. I was listening and I thought who are these 50-60 idiots that view Dan or Buce positively?!

These people need to be removed from society.

Dan was probably pissed that Bruce at 6% positive had a higher positivity rating than he did. That's no doubt why Dan got rid of Bruce: for being such a transparent bastard. If Bruce hadn't been undermining him, Dan could have gotten a 6% positivity rating too.

I forgot this yesterday but when Cooley was doing his break down he said our WRs have been very bad at creating separation. That might be the most frustrating thing as they are supposed to be the strength of this offense.

At what we know now at this season, Jax defense being better than thought. What di d we do in that game differently to move the ball compared to Philly and Dallas? To me it looks like Curtis Samuel was being used with greater versatility. Having him line up in back field with Gibson etc. This o-line is going to struggle with pass pro I'd love to see some two RB wishbone sets with JD and Gibson have the o-line just push down hill and gain confidence and maybe help the WRs get separation. IDK I am really just grasping at air here.
