Washington killed our blitzing with a similar play thet Green Bay killed us with the week before. At times, when Dallas would blitz a LB from right up the middle or between the guards/tackles, instead of using their back to pick up that blitz they would send him upfiled between the guard/center and the QB would deliver the ball just before getting hit. Every time, our opponent got majur yards with this. It's kind of like a short streak-screen up the middle without having linemen in front blocking it. And it works because the short-midle of the filed is wide open because the LB left it to blitz.
So I ask, why have we not seen this play with Felix Jones in the lineup? Felix Jones is horrible at picking up blitzes, and teams often blitz us when he is the back. By keeping him back to miss the block on ablitz, we not only lose him as a blocker, we also lose him as a receiver because we utilized him as a blocker insterad. This is where I fault Garrett; if Jones cant block a blitz well, then he should be sent out on these short middle screens on every passing dsown. The problem though is that Garrett does not have tyhese plays in his playbook; he only has the kinds of plays that render Felix Jones useless on virtually all passing downs that he is a part of.
