Snap Judgments: Redskins @ Patriots

A look at the snap counts for each player on the Redskins in the team's Week 9 road game against the undefeated New England Patriots

The Redskins brain trust envisioned a 2015 team that would be able to control the clock and entire games by running the ball down opponent's throats with their bigger and nastier offensive line and a new power running scheme. Bill Callahan's offensive line would pave the way for the two-headed backfield monster of Alfred Morris and Matt Jones to punish opposing defenses, and when those defenses began to sell out against the run Jay Gruden and Sean McVay would dial up a perfectly timed play action pass to keep them off balance and make them pay

Meanwhile, Joe Barry's defense would keep opposing running games in check and would create more big plays with an aggressive and attacking one-gap system and improved personnel in the front seven.
