Darrel Young working to remain positive despite decreased role
Washington fullback Darrel Young, back in August. (John McDonnell/The Washington Post)Once a key member of Washington’s rushing attack, fullback Darrel Young continues to see his playing time on offense decrease this season while his coaches opt for a high number of multiple-tight-end sets instead.
Young on Sunday received only four snaps on offense; That’s just six percent of Washington’s 63 plays.
On average, Young has seen action on eight percent of Washington’s offensive plays. That represents a plunge from the 15- to 20-percent allotment he received last season, and the 25- to 33-percent range that Young received during his years under Mike Shanahan.
