be warned this is extremely long (and ive had some time on my hands since its winter break) some notes i want to make before i start on just the offense: braylon edwards- ok before i thought he was completely useless this is not the case pre washington redskins game he was a good weapon i think if he gets healthy (which he should by the playoffs) i think he will be a valuable weapon) - in general alex has missed some deep balls but overall he has gotten much much more accurate here also this is all plays inside the 25 not just redzone and this is all RZ plays since the eagles games also some formations may be wrong like a TE will line up as WR TE line up as FB etc. Eagles: 4 WR 1 RB- 3 yard run by gore 2 WR 2 TE 1 RB -- got hit while he threw sailed high incomplete 1 WR 2 TE 1 FB 1 RB -- sack --as far as i can tell it was a coverage sack he had about 3 seconds 1 WR 1 TE 2 FB 1 RB - 3 yard run by gore shotgun 3 WR 1 TE 1 RB-- 8 yard td to VD 1 WR 1 TE 2 FB 1 RB-- weakside 12 yard run for TD Tampa Bay: 0 WR 3 TE 2FB 1 RB 4 yard run " same formation fumble (PI got us to 1 yard line ) 3 TE 2 FB 1 RB 1 yard TD run 2 TE 3 WR 1 RB 22 yard TD run by hunter 3 TE 2 FB 1 RB 4 yard run same formation -2 yards same formation- pass rollout thrown away 1 RB 3 WR 1 TE 2 yard run same formation fade to edwards well covered and defended by CB guarding him 3 TE 1 WR 1 RB 18 yard TD pass to VD Detriot: (set up by 40 yard run by gore) 3 TE 2 FB 1 RB- 0 yard run by gore same formation - 1 yard TD by gore 3 WR 1 FB 1 RB - run 2 yards 3 WR 1 TE 1 RB- juggling catch by crabs (the one where he had same foot inbounds twice but not other foot) wouldve been TD but incomplete instead 1 WR 2 TE 1 RB 1 FB- pass to wide open walker droppped 3 TE 2 FB 1 RB- 1 yard gain (to get first down on 2nd and 1) 2 TE 2 FB 1 RB- 2 yard run 3 WR 2 TE-- screen 4 yards to crabtree same formation- unblocked defender comes in hits while throwing incomplete 2 WR 2 TE 1 RB-- slant to delante for TD Browns: 2 WR 2TE 1 FB 1 RB- 4 yard run 2 TE 2 WR 1 RB - slant to edwards ball thrown high catchable but blame falls on alex here (wouldve been 1st down not a TD play) 3 TE 1 FB 1 WR 4 yard run 3 TE 2 FB 1 RB 6 yard TD run by gore 3 WR 1 TE 1 RB- 9 yard compleition to walker 3 TE 2 FB 1 RV 0 yard run same formation- -2 yard run 4 WR 1 RB 12 yard pass to crabtree 3 TE 1 RB 1 FB 7 yard run 2 TE 2 FB 1 RB- 0 yard run same formation- 1 yard TD run 1 WR 3 TE 1 RB - designed alex run 4 yards 3 WR 1 TE 1 RB- no one open scrambles for 8 yards 2 WR 2 TE 1 RB- 2 yard pass to crabtree for TD 3 TE 2 FB 1 RB - run 4 yards same formation 2 yard run 1 WR 2 TE 1 FB 1 RB- 2 yard run Redskins: 2 TE 1 RB 1 FB 1 WR- 8 yard pitch 2 TE 2 FB 1 RB- 1 yard run 3 TE 1 FB 1 RB- pass? ya i was confused too on 22 yard line so not exactly red zone wheel route route to miller for 22 yard TD 1 WR 2 TE 2 FB 1 RB- 2 yard run same formation- 6 yard 3 WR 1 TE 1 RB 1 yard run Giants: 2 WR 2 TE 1 RB -pass to crabtree didnt see ball coming same formation- batted down at LOS attempted screen 3 WR 1 RB (TE blocking) 4 yard pass to braylon inside 25 yard line not RZ: 3 WR 1 RB 1 TE- unblocked defender ball thrown away same formation- pass to ginn tipped of his hands for int 2 TE 2 WR 1 RB 12 yard pass 1 WR 2 TE 1 FB 1 RB - perfect pass to crabtree in the endzone dropped 4 WR 1 RB comeback route to braylon bad timing alex threw it early or edwards turned around a bit late incomplete 2 TE 1 RB 1 FB 1 WR- 18 yard TD pass to VD 2 point conversion attempt 3 WR 1 TE 1 RB- 2 yard pass to crabs attemot successsful 2TE 1 FB 1 RB- 18 yard td run by hunter Cardinals: 3 TE 2 FB 1 RB 3 yard run 1 FB 1 RB 2 WR4 yard pass to miller wouldve been a TD but he stepped out of bounds 5 WR - fade to braylon this was the debated pass many thought it was a good throw some thought it was bad- personally i thought it was a good throw as it went right through his hands 3 WR 1 RB 1 TE - overthrows crabtree for easy TD 3 WR 1 TE 1 RB - screen to crabs for 4 yards 2 WR 2 FB 1 RB dropped pass by gore wouldve been forst down 4 WR 1 RB 1 yard run 5 WR- alex escapes [ressire 10 yard pass 2 WR 2 TE 1 RB- 12 yard scramble by alex same formation- 12 yard touch pass to kyle williams 2 TE 2 FB 1 RB- 2 yard TD run 1 WR 1 RB 2 TE 18 yard TD pass to VD ball on 10 yard line due to PI penalty 4 WR 1 RB unblocked defender causes smith to rolll out and throw it away 2 TE 2 FB 1 RB 1 yard run 3 TE 1 RB 1 WR - escaped a saack from dockket than threw an int possible couldnt see guy cause staley blocked him but wither way pass wouldve been incomlete as the defender was guarding braylon pretty tight Ravens: none Rams: 3 WR 1 FB 1 RB 1 TE- 3 yard run 3 WR 1RB 1 TE 1 yard run 3 WR 1 RB 1 TE- slant dropped by crabtree 3 WR 1 RB 1 TE 1 yard run 3 TE 2 FB 1 RB pitch 3 yards same formation -2 yard run 2 WR 2 TE 1 RB- sack same formation- 1 yard run 3 TE 1 RB 1 WR- attempted screen ball tipped at LOS 2 TE 2 FB 1 RB 7 yard run 1 WR 2 TE 2 FB 1 RB 0 yard run wildcat- -2 yard run sorry it was so long conclusion: i think we are running the ball 2 much we seem to actually doing pretty well when we pass the ball more and open it up more by puuttig 2 to 3 WR in the field

Thanks for doing this. It is a good reminder that when we see the sky falling it is not backed by the facts. Many successful passes in the RZ this year and running was only occassionally effective. So, I agree that they should pass more...but I have always preferred the pass to run unless the line is dominant...the old hogs of Wash.

Now that the Red Zone issue has gotten so much attention, I hope the coaches understand that settling for a field goal to keep Alex from screwing up is not as important as getting in the end zone.
