Davis says Redskins are still holding back part of the playbook

Redskins fans may be in for even more of a show than they expected on Sunday. Tight end Fred Davis says that the team has shown only a portion of its playbook.

“The more we get comfortable with this offense and mixing it up a lot, changing it up on each defense each week and not showing everything each week, they won’t know which way we’re coming from,” Davis said, via Mike Jones of the Washington Post. “We’ll keep people on [their] toes, and that’s what we want.”

Davis also says that the Redskins offense, which has generated 68 points in two games, has yet to play up to its potential.

“I knew with the offense that we had, and then putting R.G. in it and everyone paying attention to detail, we could be better than what we were doing,” Davis said. “When we watch film, there’s still a lot of stuff we leave out there. It’s still early.”

As the offense continues to blossom, look for Leonhard Hankerson to have a bigger role. After hauling in a 68-yard touchdown pass against the Rams (although he looked a bit like Robin Williams in The Best of Times while doing so), Hankerson could end up starting today across from Josh Morgan, given that Pierre Garςon will miss his second straight game.
