Louis Riddick was a Pro Personnel Director for the Eagles up until this year. He’s now a member of the media. Riddick was asked about the Skins by an ESPN writer. He wasn’t as complimentary of the offense as you might expect.
RG3 needs that [zone-read] component very much and their offense needs that. It makes them very inflexible in terms of being able to be successful on that side of the ball. If the run game is not going it has a snowball effect in a negative way because that line is not built to pass protect in a true dropback manner. RG3 is not built, and his skill set is not such, that he is a dropback passer who can play catch-up football and throw the ball all over the yard. He definitely needs the run game to be clicking and right now it is and you see how much better they are. Everything has to go right for them to score points.
Riddick had interesting comments on Orakpo and Kerrigan as well. Good read.
