Smoot Lays the Smack Down (Redskins vs Ravens)

Right now Thomas and Kendell are our best linemans.

The O-Line looked horrible. Hopefully the injury bug settles down this week and the "best" 5 are ready to roll on Sunday. If not, it's going to be a long 3 weeks for Campbell.

It's hard to lay blame on missing a 48 yarder, however Suisham is on a very cold streak. Even with hitting the 43 yarder later in the game, he's on borrowed time and with Poppin' Fresh, the Skins will be looking both kicker and punter during the offseason. (not that it wasn't obvious before last night)

Backfield Pass Blocking was atrocious last night. Both Betts and Sellers whiffed on key drives last night, including on Campbell's first pick. You can certainly tell when Portis is not in there.

I just don't know what to do about the O-line...We can't replace them all at once, but they are all inconsistant and old. How does the situation with this team get better before it gets worse?

You don't need to replace all of them. If we just brought in 2 good offensive lineman I think it would be a huge improvement. You have to be able to trust your lineman that they can handle someone 1v1. We don't have that. I see guys trying to help out because the guy next to them just whiffed on the block and so they don't get a good block on their guy. If you don't trust the guy next to you can do his job and might need help then you have already lost.

Yeah, how about lining up Geisinger at left tackle opposite Terrell Suggs, and not giving him some tight end help?

Piss poor. That baffled me as well. That was a Spurrier move.

Well even when Samuels was in the game playing he was letting anybody & everyone around him & come up on Jason's back side. I don't know if his injury was nagging him or what. I've never been a fan and I think he's really not very good!

It's pretty obvious he's definitely not anywhere near 100%. When healthy the guy is a stud.

If I'm going to lay the smack down on someone, it's Jason Taylor.

This isn't knee jerk, this is the culmination of watching him phone it in the past couple of weeks. I gave him an excuse while he was hurt, but when I watch the rest of the defense flying around, he's just kind of jogging towards the pile. I don't want to see him on the field as a Redskin again. The rest of the defense leaves it all on the field, but he just seems to not give two shits.

The part of the whole Jason Taylor thing that is the most frustrating to me is the fact that he is being treated(at least by the media) as though he's the leader of the defense. He's been interviewed on the sidelines multiple times about how it feels to be playing in Washington and what he thinks of the defense. God forbid they talk to Fletcher or Landry.

The straw that broke the camels back for me was last night, DURING the Ravens debacle, the local news was promoting a piece about Jason Taylor, off the field. Come to think of it, it's actually pretty fitting since he doesn't do shit on the field...

Did anyone notice the running play where Rabach went to his left and crashed into Kendal and Samuel while everyone else on the team went right?

The last few games there is at least one occasion where a linemen is pass blocking on a running play.

It looks like my man Joe Bugel has already checked out of Redskins park.

I hate to sound like my dad but I remember when Joe Bugel could coach up any 300Lb pile of shit and turn him into a solid player.

I think we can all agree that yesterday we looked like a bunch of amateurs. The o-line at the end of the game was laughable. JZ didn't help the matter out at all.

If i was sitting at home cringing as Geisinger lined up accross from Suggs, why wouldn't a NFL head coach cringe as well? Ugly.

I still think we will end up ahead of expectations coming in. Not bad for a rookie head coach, We need to draft o-line, d-line early and we'll be right there. Perhaps the center who plays for alabama, Would'nt mind the DT either. This secondary is outstanding imagine how good they would be with any kinda pass-rush. We're headed the right direction and that's what matters most. GO SKINS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
