Yesterday was the perfect example of why pre-season games mean absolutely nothing. What I saw yesterday from the skins was a gameplan to neutralize our strengths and take advantage of our weaknesses. The Dline actually DID THEIR JOBS. They got penetration and created lanes for our LB's to exploit. They had to deal with constant cut blocks, double teams, traps and leverage blocks (i saw suh get thrown to the grown after the OLman used suh's leverage to get him off balance and toss him down).

The problem with lanes for the LB's to run through, is that the RB's can also run through those lanes. Which is what happened. Our LB's never filled those running lanes properly and that is a big problem that needs to be fixed. Not sure how we're going to fix it.... but if we can't it's gonna be a long season because many teams will copy what the redskins did. Omar Kelly actually wrote a good article on how the redskins were using the cut block to slow us down. http://teamstre.am/1FHX8KS
