The new addition to the Redskins backfield brings more help in the passing game than they've had in a long time.
Much has been made of the Washington Redskins backfield. It was really good for the first eighth of the season, and has since had just a handful of strong showings while otherwise being rendered completely useless.
Monday night's loss to the Dallas Cowboys was one of the worst outings yet for the rushing attack, as the Redskins continued to run the ball despite a total inability to do so. First downs were the real killer, as a large percentage of drives began with short runs that did little to help Washington on later downs.
