The guys say that although Heinicke was a mix of brilliant and okay, the highlight from Washington's win over Atlanta was the Scott Turners Scheme. Logan and Craig admit that it seemed Scott lost track of the scheme on the second drive, but he brought it back for the win. Also, the guys give extra love to our running backs and how they have been taking a leading role over the last 3 wins. Logan and Craig answer AJ's question: How hard is it to learn our run scheme in comparison to traditional offenses? Should we give the coaches and players more credit for being able to run this offense as succinctly as they have? Logan and Craig say that for the most part, the run has a simplifying effect on the scheme and causes more problems for the defense. Should We be worried about the Washington Defense giving up a lot of yards on the ground? Logan says no because Atlanta knows who they are and they are really good at running outside zone.
