Redskins vs. Jaguars Thread

How did we go from looking like an All-World team to a high school JV team in a matter of a few weeks? This is pathetic. In the last two weeks we've been outscored 71-6.. I know it's just the preseason, but 71-6 is not meaningless.

Zorn needs to calm down. He's pressing. He's been pressing ever since the 2nd drive of the Jets game. Calm down, run the football a little, run a few short routes/3-5 step drop type plays to set the tempo...

Most importantly though, it's obvious we're not yet comfortable enough with the passing system to throw on every first down. And the toll all the consecutive 3 and outs have on our defense is even more obvious.

We need to look into a starting SS.

Also Tryon was a waste of a draft pick

What worries me is that decent to good running teams mauled us.
That means our run defense is suspect and our unwillingness to punch them back with the same puts us behind with these 3 yard passes.

hopefully when Jason taylor comes back and marcus washington gets to 100% we'll be alright.

We're probably somewhere in between awesome and awful. I think the Jets game is a good indicator of the type of team we will be. We won't dominate anyone, but we'll hang tight in most games.

Next Thurs Zorn had better realize that we are not a passing team. I hate to say this but we just need to try and run the ball and pass here and there. Devin Thomas looks lost out there and Kelly can't seem to get on the field. Not sure about Davis. I also noticed that Montgomery and Goldston looked like shit when they were in there.

I didn't get to watch this one. Seems like I didn't miss much.

I agree, but I'm a little nervous. I don't have a lot of faith in either unit. Our offense has question marks along the oline, at QB, and WR. The starters on offense struggled against the Jets, Panthers and Jags. More troubling, however, is that our defense appears soft. Don't get me wrong, I think we'll be respectable, but I think things are going to get worse before they get better.

I firgure we're due for an 8-8 or 9-7 season with on the job training for Campbell, I just hope we draft the hell out of some linemen next year especially on the offensive side of the ball...


How much on the job training does a guy need? I know it is a new scheme, but damn, JC needs to get some consistency going with his play, or we will be cooked this season. If his(JC's) fortunes don't change soon this is going to be Brennan's show in 2009 or 2010.

If Marcus, Rocky, and Carlos all stay healthy, with Taylor and Carter going after the QB and Laron back there, I think we'll be ok defensively. I really do. But a lot of our starters seem fragile and our depth is lacking. That's my biggest worry on either side of the ball. Second would be the O-line, particularly the right side...

The first 5 games are so tough- 3 division road games and Arizona and New Orleans. I personally think NO will play Dallas in the NFC Championship game. Arizona, Dallas, and NO all have great offenses, and playing in Philly and New York will be so tough. I hope folks around here aren't devastated if we start 1-4 with our only win against Arizona. It's very possible.
