What type of offense do you like to see?

I agree with you! I guess that is why we go back to the argument of player selection. It's not always the scheme, but you gotta have the right type of players to run the scheme, and it's won and lost in the trenches. It doesn't really matter how good your other guys are on offense...QB, WRs, RBs. If the offensive line isn't getting it, then the offense can't be successful. That is the main problem with the Cardinals. They have talent at the other positions, but no offensive line. At least for us, we do have a good offensive line that is built for smashmouth football. That is why, normally, we win when we run the football more than passing. So, in this instance, it's not necessarily the fact that Saunders' offense doesn't work in Washington, nor that the personnel - QB, RB, and WRs don't fit into the system, but that it requires more athletic offensive linemen up front.

I guess the whole moral to the story is, we need to upgrade our linemen if we want to open up the offense more. Maybe have our current linemen in on heavy jumbo.
