Taking a close look at the Washington OFF this morning. So many layers to look at. Love their run game, but let's start w/ their pass game

Shot 1 - 3x1 sets are HUGE in this scheme. Move players around to create mis-matches. Crowder tough downfield off switch releases from slot

Shot 2 - 3x1 sets aren't just about 3-WR side, you need that X WR to win on the back side. Jordan Reed does that at a high level #Redskins

Shot 3 - I expect Terrelle Pryor to be used often as the 'X Iso WR' in their various 3x1 sets. They need him to win 1-on-1 on the back side

Shot 4 - #Redskins LOVE wheel routes. Whether it's slot WRs, TEs in-line, or RBs out of the backfield. Watch for Wheels on Sunday

Shot 5 - More wheel routes from #Redskins, this time from the TE spot. Using play-action, boot-action, and motions to attack flow of defense

Shot 6 - Another wheel route from #Redskins, this time from Chris Thompson, one of the best third-down backs in the NFL

Shot 7 - Rookie Samaje Perine? Sure? You get a wheel route too. #Redskins

Shot 8 - Chris Tompson is lethal on pivot routes like this one. Explosive, quick, tough. Must be accounted for when playing #Redskins

Shot 9 - Lot of depth in the Washington screen game too. Misdirection, run-action, versatile weapons, athletic OL make it all work well

Shot 10 - I expect Perine to be the starter sooner rather than later. Loved his skillset at OU. Tough, instinctive, well-rounded RB
