Redskins need to shake things up - Fanspeak Washington Redskins Blog: Redskins need to shake things up - Fanspeak Washington Redskins Blog
Excerpt
On offense the Redskins need to become more run oriented in their approach and not get too cute with their play calling. Alfred Morris is a true bell cow back, and needs to be heavily relied upon this season. He's the best player on the offense and who the game-plan needs to flow through. This will remain true when RGIII comes back from injury, as Morris can be the guy to take pressure off of Griffin (who likely won't be 100%). To not be getting Morris the ball 20-25 times a game is basically giving a free pass to the opposing defense, who is going to be the most fearful of Morris beating them each week.
Now the excuse always comes up that the game situation will dictate how much the Redskins are passing. He's the thing if they are running more early in the game, then perhaps they won't be in so many situations where they are behind in the 4th quarter and don't have a choice, but to throw the ball. By admitting that you are letting the game situation dictate your play calling, you are admitting that you are letting the other team dictate how the game goes for you. Which speaks volumes of where this team is overall. Good-to-great offenses rarely have to "change their game plan" or "abandon their strength", butt the Redskins seem to have to do it 75% of the time.
