Somebody explain our Running Game to me
I noticed drew threw the ball 49 times today but we only ran the ball 24 times for 55 yards
why did we throw the ball so much? was it that we couldnt run? or was it that we didnt run? or was it that the redskins secondary was so bad that it was better to throw that many times even tho they were the #1 ranked pass defense? why arent we staying balanced anymore? |

Re: Somebody explain our Running Game to me
Because we were behind all day and the run was getting stuffed.

Re: Somebody explain our Running Game to me
They were pretty much stuffing the run on our guys. Bell did hardly anything, and Pierre didn't get many handoffs. No one averaged more than 3 YPC. Pierre was huge in the passing game off of screens, though. Plus, we were playing from behind for a lot of the game, so they had to pass more.

Their d was all over our run, for the most part. There weren't a ton of holes.

Re: Somebody explain our Running Game to me
Basically, our O-line got man-handled. It looked like our boys didn't have their legs after the short week.
They got their 2nd wind late however. |

Re: Somebody explain our Running Game to me
The Skins are stout against the run. I thought the playcalling was about right

Re: Somebody explain our Running Game to me
Danno and Boutte are right. And our secondary looked really slow too.
Washington played a great game and luck was on our side, but it was tougher match up thanks to injuries and the short week away game. No excuse, just fact. |
