Redskins' offense can improve thanks to TEs, Kirk Cousins' progression
ASHBURN, Va. -- The Washington Redskins’ offense returns with almost the entire cast as what opened the season last year. The only real change is at running back and fullback, where Alfred Morris and Darrel Young once started. Everyone else is back in the same spot they were a year ago.
That doesn’t mean the offense can’t, or won’t improve. If the Redskins want to improve on a nine-win season, then the offense will have to get a little better (specifically in the run game). And it’s not as if there’s no room for improvement; there’s plenty. Washington ranked 11th in yards per play; 15th in offensive points per game (excluding returns) and 15th in yards per game.
