Paintrain 09-08-2008, 01:03 PM Nice analysis. One thing that should be noted with Campbell, as we saw last year, when he throws early and often (TB, Philly, Dallas) he gets into a rhythm and the passing game clicks better overall.. I think with Zorn and JC agreeing to put him in shotgun more per yesterday's article in the WaPo, that should significantly improve how comfortable he is in the passing game.
It wouldn't be very much fun to post here if everyone agreed.
I'm not saying that at all.

I don't think it's a matter of agreement but it's a matter of conversational preference..

GhettoDogAllStars 09-08-2008, 01:07 PM We'll see how much "I don't get" as this season plays out.
NOTE: My response was directed at your sarcasm, not Gtrips post...
You are a pessimist. We get it. It's just hard to accept your opinion when it's based on such a limited sample. Add to that the fact that you rarely acknowledge anything positive, and it just seems like you are waiting for our collapse. You should try to be more objective.
Also, if you are right, and we have a terrible season as you expect, it won't be because you have some special football insight. It's just the better odds. Anyone can see we have some major adversity to overcome, and more working against us, than for us (rookie HC, aging OL, etc.).
GhettoDogAllStars 09-08-2008, 01:10 PM BTW, good job with this thread and the defensive review, GTripp. We've been lacking quality threads lately ... it's always nice to see this kind of stuff. :biggthump
Redskin Warrior 09-08-2008, 01:13 PM Great Post Tripp I enjoyed it
53Fan 09-08-2008, 01:24 PM Excellent! Finally, level heads prevail. Great post.

I'm not a pessimist, I'm a realist, and there is a difference. I'm not pretending to be an amazing football guru that has a wealth of football knowledge. I was a stat girl for quite a few years, but that hardly makes me professionally qualified to accurately rate our players on an individual basis. I’m no highschool football coach, that’s for sure (note sarcasm)!! I'm a fan, a diehard fan, that watches the game (every game) very closely and forms opinions. I'm negative about our QB play (so often) because it sets the tone for the entire team. So yes, I have little faith in our ability to win games when JC is our QB. Until I see a lot of improvement I will continue to feel that way. To suggest I’m anxiously awaiting the demise of this team is flat out ridiculous. I want the Skins to win and hope for it every week.

SmootSmack 09-08-2008, 01:36 PM I In the future, I’d hope that we see more 2 TE stuff from this offense, as two of our top offensive playmakers play that position.
Agreed
It’s hard to hold anything against Zorn thus far. I agree with any of you who think that the lack of a hurry-up offense was perplexing down the stretch, but Zorn masterfully ran down the clock in the first half prior to the Redskins only TD, so the clock management was definately a mixed bag.
Interesting, I would have used the adjective "fortunately" rathern than "masterfully"
The playcalling is obviously skewed due to the final two drives in which the Redskins were forced to throw. The playcalling was pretty even to that point, with a strong tendency to run on first down. I’m not really sure how I feel like that: if there is a weakness on the Giants, its their secondary, and we simply did not test them often enough. Still, I’m not mad that we ran the ball so often — even though the Giants had a great rush D last year, the run is going to be our bread and butter early in the season.
Again, agreed
Prior to that last, meaningless drive, Campbell had thrown only 19 passes. 19. That’s fewer than 5 passes per quarter! Put very simply, there isn’t a whole lot that Campbell should be expected to accomplish when throwing fewer than 5 times per quarter. Campbell looked hesitant and slow making his reads, sometimes struggling to find his second target if his primary target was covered. That’s not something that should inspire confidence in the fanbase, but it shouldn’t have been a complete shock.
Are you talking about actual passes, or pass plays? Are you factoring in false starts, sacks, etc. where no pass is actually thrown? Also, did you notice WRs "giving up" on the play as Moss implied he did on one play where it didn't develop as quickly as planned and Moss figured JC must have been sacked?
Pete Kendall had the best game of any of the linemen in pass pro.
And here I was about to predict Kendall would be benched for Jansen by week 4
Randle El- 7 for 73, 2 false starts
Two false starts is inexcusable for a veteran WR.

Define "improvement" in your mind Hess.
