While most are clamoring for the heads of McNabb, both Shanahans, Danny Smith, Graham Gano, the one good thing about the game Sunday has been overlooked: Ryan Torain.
His 121 yards on 10 carries was a franchise record (since 1991, when this stat first started being kept), and the most in the NFL in 9 years. He finished with a bruising 172 yards on 24 carries, a 7.2 yard per carry average. Even if you take out his 54-yard scamper the first time he touched the ball, he still ran for 118 yards on 23 carries, a 5.1 ypc average.
The burning question in my mind is: why did we get away from the run in the red zone? Seems like the Redskins consistently over-thought themselves in the red zone. Example: the ridiculous shovel-pass to Moss. Just run the ball! Torain is dominating the Bucs defense!
