Get our backs "back 2 basics"

I luv our Redskins, BUT,   Our running backs need to be reminded and then mandated to stop dancing, make decisive cuts and then explode into the holes. Second, the backs need to carry the "rock" in the correct hand corresponding with runing to the left or right. Why does this mean alot? This gives you the ability to stiff arm on coming defenders and maintain your edge to make unpredictable moves while running....for example, going around the right side, your vulnerable to direct hits and cannot fend off anyone with your left arm holding the ball. Its the difference between getting that extra 2 to 10 yards, a first down or even a TD versus falling short by a yard, having a three and out or having to settle for a field goal. Just watch the great backs...I'd say 95 % did these basic things consistently....but somewhere along the line backs have got caught up in just having "to the house" speed and lost touch with the basic things that get you to the house......Trust, the house will come to you eventually if you do the basics first.... Go Skins versus Dallas!   CTP
