TDs Against a Non-Prevent Defense

[CapnRedskins]

In the past 3 weeks, how many touchdowns have the Redskins scored when the opposing defense was NOT in some kind of prevent? I'm not saying this to bash the team, I want an honest answer. I feel like a lot TDs lately have come on pass-happy, stat padding, meaningless drives.

Our only Eagles TD came in that situation, one of our Carolina TDs came in that situation, and we didn't score against Buffalo.

So, I think we scored one non-prevent TD in the past 3 weeks (the one that made the score 16-13 vs. the Panthers).

Thanks, that's what I thought/feared. I knew about the one and I was hoping to God there was one I was forgetting somewhere but nope.

Fun fact: our current QB has only ever thrown TD passes while down by 17 or more points with under 5:05 remaining in the 4th quarter.

Interesting. I wish I'd known that earlier.

Bottom line is this team is still struggling scoring in the red zone, and everyone knows we just don't seem to have any sort of breakaway runner/reciever that will threaten to score on a long run/reception, and that spells trouble. It doesn't matter if its Rex or Beck starting at QB, if this team can't figure out how to do more than move the ball between the 20's, we're gonna have problems winning games. Was just doing some googlin' for "red zone efficiency" for the Washington Redskins, and there's some info out there on the interwebz, but I don't know if you wanna go looking for it, it wasn't pretty.

did we even sniff the red zone last game?

I want to say we did, but to be honest I started slipping in and out of consciousness by about halftime.

Plus as I pointed out, it doesn't appear that we really have anyone thats a real threat of breaking one to the house, so we're kind of screwed all around at the moment until we get something figured out

New levels of offensive incompetence will show up this year... We are going to be wishing for the returning of the glory days of zorn and Campbell.

I miss JC and Zorn; good ole reliable 17 points nothing fancy just 17 points

if we had gano back then maybe a solid 20 burger

Not really. Most "struggling" offenses in football (pro and college) are the ones who can't get the ball into the endzone. Then there's the worst of the worst who can't get there to begin with, unfortunately that's us. I'm actually curious to see how we fare in the redzone- my hopes aren't high but it does say a lot about your playcalling.

i'm not so sure it does. its pretty obvious that our offense cant run plays effectively to even get to the red zone, so what makes you think that the offense would effectively run the plays that kyle calls in the red zone.

im not saying this is you, but it seems a lot of people on here just want to ***** and moan about playcalls (for offense and defense) because they arent seeing the results they desire. pay attention to the more knowledgeable posters and the film that's been broken down. most would agree that kyle's scheme is very smart and is giving our players a chance to succeed more often than not. our offense just isnt executing the plays being called.

I meant that redzone production in general tells you the most about playcalling on any team. There must be a certain average productivity for non-rz offense, and one for rz offense. It is quite apparent that we are below average, maybe the worst, outside of the redzone. I would like to see if our redzone production matches that or if it is better, or god forbid worse if that is possible.
For example the Eagles for the first few weeks of this season were ridiculously good as usual at moving the ball, but their rz scoring % was horrible.
On the flip side, the Titans are the #1 rz offense despite being #25 in total offense.

Technically, none of our 3 touchdowns since Beck started playing have come against a prevent. They were 2 yard John Beck run, 4 yard John Beck run, and 7 yard Fred Davis reception. None of these came with a long enough field for a prevent to really be possible. However, 2 of the 3 (The Beck 2 yarder and the the Davis catch) were set up by drives against soft defenses.

technically isnt goal line defense prevent defense since you are preventing a big play (a TD)
