Greg Jones has been gone for a few seasons now so that's not an excuse.  Marcedes hasn't been on the line to help with blocking.  When he is the offense is too one dimensional.  4 of the guys on the line now are new.  Our center sucks.  Beadles is coming off his worst year of his pro career and didn't look much better last weekend.  Paztor has a broken hand and will be out a few more weeks since he had surgery before the season started.  Meester retired (even though he wasn't good the last few years anyway).  There are lots of reasons.  Take your pick.  

 

Help isn't coming any time soon and signing a different fullback isn't going to help.

 

Zone blocking works when you have RB's who can cut back and hit a hole with speed or power.  That's what I think they were thinking with Toby being the power guy and Denard being the speed guy.  I still can't figure out why Denard wasn't in the game more though.

 

Another issue that we've been dealing with for years here is how the defenses have been playing us.  Philly did the same thing last weekend.  Stack the box and make the QB beat you with the passing game.  We don't have a QB who can take that challenge head on on a consistent basis.  Well we do, but you know that conversation.  Teams are going to stack the box until we prove to be a threat in the passing game, and I expect Washington to do the exact same thing this weekend.  I fully expect Orakpo to have a good game against us and more of what happened in the 2nd half in philly to happen again when our defense gets gassed.  I don't want that to happen and I hope I'm proven wrong, but I know what a Chad Henne offense looks like.
