I understand the stunt you mentioned. We are having gap control inside with ILBs and safeties too. In a one gap system it is imperative that everyone honors their gap, go to the wrong one and you open the hole for the offense.

This may be an unpopular opinion but Kirk Cousins is growing. What he can grow into might not be as big and grand as fans want at their starting QB position, but he can operate the offense. He's doing it ugly but he is doing it. The run game has been nonexistent and the words "this game will ride on Cousins' arm" has produced nightmares for two years. Yet, with no run game against the Eagles, Cousins was able to win the game with his arm. With no run game against the Falcons, Cousins was able to tie the game and send it into overtime. He also lost the game with his interception but on paper, the Falcons should have dominated them and the game shouldn't have been that close. Today, the Redskins averaged 2.2 yards per carry and were down 24 points. The Buccaneers were in a position to pin their ears back and attack but on Cousins arm, they chipped away at the lead and he lead a game winning drive. Mostly inconceivable. No over-reactions, he's still going to do what we know he will do but he's doing some things we didn't know he could do.
The Redskins need to find a way to get the run game going. They need to find something that works. Their play at center is really hurting the team. The running backs are having to make their cut off the center's block because how far he has been pushed back. The three-step drop game is helping but the OL has looked much better in pass protection.
