I have pasted the 2008 & 2007 Run Blocking statistics from Football Outsiders (FO):

http://www.footballoutsiders.com/stats/ol2007.   Toggle back and forth to 2008 and other FO calculations.

It is notable that the rank of the Redskins in this scheme of things improved from 2007 to 2008.  Where as the Eagles suffered a significant reversal.   The change in the Giants and Cowboys rankings were not as significant.  It remains to be seen whether the changes in the offensive lines for the Eagles and Skins will improve their run blocking performance in 2009.   The third table is of interest since it shows the five directions that teams tended to run their plays.  The Redskins tended to avoid the MID/GUARD (see tables) plays in both years compared to most other NFL. teams.  Was this a matter of choice or of real options?  The latter would support the notion that the Skins were weak at guard and center positions.

The Redskins “DVOA” from Football Outsiders was graphed on the basis of weekly performance.
http://redskinshogheaven.com/2009/07/2008-redskins-dvoa-graphs.html
Analysis of both offense and defense was taken into consideration. The variation in performance from week to week and as the season progressed are shown.

I did not comment on it in the previous post, but pass protection blocking was very good in the Redskins 2006 season and declined substantially by 2008. More aggressive defensive strategy by opponents seems to have stepped up in the NFL over the past three seasons.

So can they block this year?

I hate numbers/stats and this post hurts my head…
