ASHBURN, Va. -- The Washington Redskins know what they want to be on offense -- and they’ve known for a while. They want to run the ball, hurt teams with play-action throws and keep their quarterbacks out of dangerous situations.
It worked in the first two weeks. It hasn’t worked since then -- and it’s something that must change if the Redskins want to accomplish anything this season.
The recent problems don’t stem from one issue, which perhaps is the issue. Otherwise, the corrections would be easy. It’s not having your most dangerous receiver. It’s being down to tight ends acquired in August or later.
