[Not-Awesomeness]

I don't know why I didn't notice it sooner (like years ago). I noticed how we for the most part run like 5 plays all game. We change tha play ever so slighty that so it doesn't mirror the or original, but if you pay attention you can tell. The sweeps, the handoffs, the smoke passes to Smitty, and crossing patterns with the slot recievers. I don't know if its Jeff Davidson, or Fox, but my god.........

still not awesome huh?...How turrible they did that too you.

[Davidson Deac II]

I don't agree. We run a lot more than 5 plays.

But fwiw, if you run 5 plays, and you run them well, then it doesn't matter. The Redskins won a few Superbowls and had a relatively simple playbook, running a lot of traps and sweeps.

While the play calling can be predictable on certain situations, quick out to smitty on second and long, draw play on third and 15+, our playbook is actually rather large and allows for a pretty varied offense. It's just a conservative execution in those situations that gives you the impression thats its stale.

we run more than five plays but they are all the same....

time for a new coach

[Hairless Cat]

Start weinke!

[Fiz]

how would you empirically define "stale" so that we may make accurate league wide comparisons?

[bigjohn]

Bring back Seifert. Yeah.

Two years ago, when we had at least the threat of a passing attack, we were among the top 10 in the NLF in points per game at 25.9 points per game. Last year, once we replaced our QB, the offense started to look like it did in 2008. If the offense does that well this year, I don't care if they run only one play.

Fox's O is not as stale and boring as your threads.

Fox's O is not as stale and boring as your threads.

i disagree.its bout the same but more inlikely worst. dive, lead, maybe playaction or draw than punt.

[smash_n_dash]

House, are you referring to his team's offense or his face?

[pstall]

So what team has the few # of td's over 50 yards the last 5 years?

[Chaos]

How many teams in the NFL run trick plays regularly or a spread or triple-option offense? None I can think of.

Some of the more electric teams I can think of (Colts and Saints for example) put it in the air a lot, but there is no trickery to it. Great QB's who get great protection and time to make the throws downfield.

I like our offense - just wish we had more weapons at receiver.

[ed bell]

Yeah, all the hand-offs, running, throwing and catching....BORING....we need something new and more exciting....like explosions and pole vaulting!
