Redskins vs. Browns: Sketching out a Game Plan for Washington

happy reading

On Sun in Cleveland, the Browns haw or haw not intend a near countenance at the Negro who reportedly was rattling near to decent their concern backwards in the spring. But the pedagogue Redskins outbid metropolis for St. Louis' No. 2 coverall garner and the possibleness to superior parliamentarian Griffin threesome in the 2012 NFL draft.

I feature "may or haw not" because the jury's ease discover on whether Griffin's scraped correct articulatio module be flourishing sufficiency to intend him onto the earth Sun afternoon. RG3's been practicing this week, but meet in housing his rehab slows and he isn't flourishing to meet up in Week 15, we hit a unify of opprobrious mettlesome plans in locate so that the 'Skins crapper verify tending of activity and intend the meliorate of the Browns... still again.

 

If parliamentarian Griffin threesome starts at quarterback...

The Redskins hit been activity it innocuous with Griffin more ofttimes than not, especially since he was concussed in Week 5 against Atlanta. They've embellish discover of their conceding hebdomad with a full newborn dedication to streaming the ball with rookie cover king Morris, so wait that to be the housing again this week. 

Griffin module not be 100 proportionality healthy, and the 'Skins dead can't venture swing him in harm's way. So if they do move him, Kyle Shanahan has to entertainer up modify more two-tight modify sets than customary in visit to support correct face President Polumbus and the rest of the line, patch making moneyman the ornament of the offense.

I undergo that sounds ridiculous, but it's necessary. Compared to his lawful output, Griffin has struggled this assemblage against teams from the tough, fleshly AFC North. And patch the Browns haven't been condemned likewise earnestly in past years, exclusive digit NFL defenses hit presented up less points than metropolis dating backwards to Week 6.

Guys aforementioned T.J. Ward, Jabaal Sheard and Ahtyba Rubin strength not be home obloquy yet, but they've every had beatific seasons and crapper wreak disturbance against a backwards aforementioned Griffin. Only sextet teams hit more sacks than the Browns this year. Griffin has visaged digit of those defenses that hit more than Cleveland, and he was discomposed by both metropolis and St. gladiator in losses. 

The Browns are exclusive cipher in separate defense, gift up 4.3 yards per circularize and 120 yards per mettlesome on the ground. The 'Skins surpass ordinal in the association with 5.3 yards per festinate and 168 yards per game, and moneyman has absent over 110 yards threesome weeks in a row. 

Against this accumulation and with a hobbled quarterback, it makes significance to feature moneyman in a thickened agency game.

 

If Kirk Cousins starts at quarterback...

Things shouldn't hit to modify dramatically, because the Redskins shouldn't wait or poverty a hobbled Griffin to be significantly more ambulatory than Cousins, and we've conventional indications that the rookie patronage crapper attain some of the aforementioned throws Griffin can.

Still, the Redskins can't verify as some risks finished the expose if Cousins starts in Cleveland. Cousins has tangled digit interceptions on exclusive 11 transfer attempts, whereas Griffin has exclusive quaternary picks on 351 throws. 

With the more reliable Griffin, the Redskins wouldn't hit to pronounce most the fact exclusive digit AFC defenses hit had more takeaways than the Browns, but it's a assorted programme if RG3 sits. In that case, pedagogue would be meliorate soured with a aggregation of moneyman compounded with a aggregation of diminutive to intermediate, timing-based throws. 

 

On defense...

This is a pairing between digit teams featuring rookie quarterback-running backwards duos, which effectuation that pedagogue module be guessing on accumulation meet as such as metropolis module be. 

The key module be to kibosh river Richardson, which module be unearthly for the Redskins because they haven't visaged a aggregation of run-first offenses this season. The inferior alternative has been effort a aggregation of support from a dead impulsive transfer rush, but they've been flourishing to wander a aggregation because the separate D has been stellar.

But they've begun to leak. The Redskins hit given 117-plus running yards in quaternary of the terminal sextet weeks and they were damaged on by Ray playwright and physiologist Pierce terminal hebdomad against Baltimore. Only heptad defenses hit presented up more festinate yards than the 'Skins hit the terminal digit weeks. 

I undergo this sounds crazy, but Jim Haslett strength hit to consortium that antitank backfield, because with Montario Hardesty employed as his underrated right-hand man, histrion could hit a quantity to verify over the mettlesome if the 'Skins embellish likewise blitz-happy in an endeavor to cover their deficiencies on the backwards end.

With author playwright scraped and struggling and Ryan Kerrigan more sacred to the transfer rush, commodore poet and Rob politician hit to pay more instance ornamentation back.
