My real concern is that the offense is going to be seen as "gimmick-y", and that the defenses have caught up with it and adjusted accordingly. That is my strongest concern going into next year.
Sounds like a legit concern to me. Seriously, we can't try to run last year's offense ever again. It was a great adjustment given the state of our offensive line, but you're right defenses have adjusted and its also a guarantee to get our young QB killed.
BEFORE this season, the NFL clarified how defenses can play against a QB in the read option - it's different this season than it was last season
the way the Redskins ran the offense last season is not possible now as it would mean that defenses would annihilate the QB running that offense
the line blocking was just not effective this year at all
