And under Callahan, the team has improved at running the ball, even as its passing game has gotten worse. The Redskins are averaging 4.7 yards per running play under Callahan; they were at 3.9 yards under Gruden this season and 4.3 yards per play last season. This shouldn’t be a surprise: Rushing plays are less valuable than passing plays. In truth, the Redskins’ rushing attack simply isn’t a strength of the team. The Redskins are scoring six points per game off passing plays but a mere 1.3 points per game on the ground.
