Analysis of the Washington Redskins and Fans

Okay, it’s finally time I present this long-winded rant about the Redskins. Just a quick disclaimer, there may be some foul language, I may target some people, and this is not going to be a rant all about the team or coaches… “fans” are as open a target as any. Read the rest of this entry »

What’s Really Wrong With Washington Redskins’ Offense?

Okay, so by the numbers, the Redskins offense overall ranks 17^th in the 3 major categories (yards per game, pass yards per game, and rush yards per game). They rank 22^nd in the league in yards per play. They’re tied for 19^th in yards per carry, and 12^th in attempts per game. They’re tied for 25^th in plays from scrimmage with 327, of which 180 are passing attempts. That’s 55%, which is respectable.

But let’s break down into more numbers. On first down, the Washington Redskins (with Rex Grossman) have attempted 67 passes. Ryan Torain has run on 15 first downs, Hightower 38 times, and Roy Helu 15 times. That’s 68 attempts on the ground vs. 67 attempts through the air. Read the rest of this entry »
