OT: 2013 Redskins Thread - Part II

[Beef Invictus]

Not the best at reading the field, but he's young, and for most of his life his skill set probably made it rare that he would need to throw it away. He's gotta learn, but I'm not yet convinced he's really dense.

Last year I thought he showed some above average decision making for a QB of his type. It's there. Not sure where it is now...losing the offseason might have set him back a lot?

Losing the pre-season isn't an excuse anymore. Cooley called it a couple games ago. Defenses are mixing up coverage's on Griffin and he can't figure it out fast enough.

 

[Capitlols]

If Haslett lasts the whole year it'll be a joke.

 

[QuadrupleDeke]

The Skins defense needs more than one 1st round pick from last year. Seems pretty obvious.

Now pretend Cousins was the QB and the Skins had three extra firsts and a second.

Thinking first round draft picks are worthless, like you are doing, will be a huge problem for this team for the next several years.

 

[EroCaps]

This coaching staff has lost it's nerve. Clean house.

Yeah good point. Surely set him back physically so why not in the mental part of the game too. But they do need to do something--both him and Shanahan-- to reduce the punishment he takes every game. It's no Good.

I suspect Moss' regression has also been major factor. This team has pretty much two receivers.

If if's and butt's were candy and nuts, oh what a world we would live in.

I don't think 1st round picks are worthless. I just know enough about football to understand that it would take about 5-6 1st round picks to make the Skins current D average.

I also know enough football to understand 18+ mil cap space this coming offseason will go a long way to upgrade the defense.

He knows the routes. On that particular play his first option was an out route that was not a risk of interception and he waited for the WR to get separation, took a sack and forced a punt.

Bad QB play.

Ok, you're right. All hope is lost.

 

[Capitlols]

Hate short yardage runs out of the pistol, the RB can't get any momentum.

 

[Beef Invictus]

3rd and 1 and they don't give it to Morris.


Uh.

 

[Jacoby4HOF66]

Griffin was not the problem tonight. Its the substandard defense that let Christian Ponder look like a Pro-bowl QB.

 

[QuadrupleDeke]

That's an insane exaggeration.

Draft picks and cap space aren't mutually exclusive.

 

[Beef Invictus]

Good **** RG3

 

[Beef Invictus]

So what has it been, the last 4ish games where Helu has really started to look good? I approve.

Good back for these hurry-up situations.

 

[Jacoby4HOF66]

That's an insane exaggeration.

So is thinking a traded away 1st round pick would make a difference right now on defense.

So glad Shanahan didn't trade away the 3rd he used on Reed.

 

[Beef Invictus]

Thank for the timeouts guys!

 

[Beef Invictus]

Not that it mattered.

Two extra firsts on defense would be huge. More talent and for cheaper, which would leave more money to upgrade other positions.

 

[Capitlols]

Terrible play-calling at the goaline.

 

[Jacoby4HOF66]

Inexcusable loss.

Cue the Chucky watch.

 

[Calicaps]

I truly hate football.

Well one of those 1st's is next year, so again, one traded away 1st does dick right now for the defense.
