Smoot Lays the Smackdown (SEPT 28) - DC Pro Sports Report (http://dcprosportsreport.com/2009/09/smoot-lays-the-smackdown-sept-28.html)

We welcome SmootSmack to DC Pro Sports Report (http://www.dcprosportsreport.com/). He will be writing a new article for DC Pro Sports Report (DCPSR) on the Washington Redskins. You will see it here every Monday AM. Don't expcet a lot of fluff, a long article that goes over and over and over again on the same points, no, instead, SmootSmack just lays the smack down, right to the point.

SmotoSmack give his opinion and analysis of the Redskins game that week. Some of you may be familiar with the title. He is also a Moderator at DCPSR partner forum, theWarpath.net. (http://thewarpath.net/) We don't have forums here at DCPSR because theWarpath.net (http://thewarpath.net/) has us covered with the best damn Redskins talk, conversation, arguments, and all that, anywhere on the Internet, hands down!

Without further delay, here is SmootSmack's premier article. You can also discuss it like you do every week, right at the Warpath.net RIGHT HERE (http://www.thewarpath.net/redskins-locker-room/32228-smoot-lays-the-smackdown.html#post598175).

Not to be disrespectful but I enjoyed SS's Smackdown with it's own thread, seems kind of lame to have to click on DCSR to enjoy it. Just my two cents.

For those that don't want to click here is the Smackdown:

The Offensive Coaching Staff
Really I'm just talking about Zorn, Sherman Smith, and Chris Meidt. Maybe it was a mistake to let Zorn hire his staff because he didn't make very wise decisions it seems. Individually, I think they are all skilled coaches but as a unit they are way too inexperienced.

A 2 Yard Completion to Santana Moss on a Critical 3rd and 5
Are you kidding me? I must confess I need to go back and watch the play because I wasn't paying full attention. But that's just embarrassing that any pass was even thrown that short in that scenario

3rd Down Conversions
Offense can't convert them, defense can't stop them...again

4th and 1 at the 1
Part of me says what is Zorn thinking running left again. Where's the variety, where's the innovation. The world knows you're going left. But then...the reality is we all know Stockton to Malone would pick and roll but you had to stop it. It shouldn't matter that Portis is running left he should have converted. So I guess the smack has to be laid down on the offensive line there. I thought Rinehart played ok today for his first start but maybe it's time to just put Montgomery or Edwin Williams in the starting line up as well. It's not like Rabach will be back next year

A Five Year Tradition
For the first time in the five and a half years I have been part of the latest iteration of TheWarpath.net I am picking the Redskins to lose next week. Can't bring myself to pick a victory. Not when I don't have full faith in any unit

Blasphemy! You never, ever, ever, ever pick the Skins to lose. If you feel they're gonna, just decline to make a statement.

How does the 99yd drive following 4th and 1 not get smacked? It was the most incompetent, uninspiring, disheartening demonstration of every conceivable flaw that the Skins defense has. The tape review ought to start at the 3rd and 1st and goal call run through to the Lions TD, and repeat. for hours, hell days. forget studying the Bucs, cuz obviously prepping for Detroit didn't matter one bit. Just have them sit like grade students in the tape room, turn out the lights, no talking. and just replay it over and over, until they are puking out their guts(won't be that much to puke out).

99yds

Blasphemy! You never, ever, ever, ever pick the Skins to lose. If you feel they're gonna, just decline to make a statement.

Says the guy who changed his Redskins avatar to an NFL avatar... :laughing2

Ruined a good thing, I really enjoyed the SMACKDOWN! Oh well!

One click ruins the smackdown? C'mon folks it's worth one damn click.

After trying to clear my head and fighting off the haters this morning at work, I think the biggest problems yesterday...Our 3rd down defense is freakin horrible and the offense staff is being outcoach. This has been an issue all season and nothing has been done to correct it. How come we are not making adjustments to correct these areas???????? To keep doing the samething and expect something different is insane. Im not saying Zorn should go yet, (Vinny should be the first) but he should stepdown if this continues.

The Lions had scoring drives of 99, 74, 86, and 85 yards. Looks like they smacked down our great (:yeahright) defense. I'd like to smackdown Blache's defensive schemes.
