Adam Peters acknowledged on @JunksRadio today that the Commanders' run game issues are at least somewhat based on run-blocking issues:
"We need to get better, I don't think there's any skirting around that. We need to get better, we need to get more on the same page.. We're six games in, in a new scheme, and we're going to continue to get better."
Some more context:
1) The Commanders rank 32nd in run block win rate according to ESPN.
2) WSH is 19th in rushing success rate via Sumer Sports, but that includes the Daniels and Martiota explosives on the ground.
3) QB's are averaging 7.94 per carry and RB's are averaging 3.64. RB's have carried the ball 130 times for 473 yards, which is only 3.64 per attempt.
Pre-snap penalties, fourth-down gambles, and a coach who expects his defense to get burned—is Washington's conservative game plan secretly sabotaging their season?
