Week 3: Redskins vs. Rams Gameday thread

Answer to question 1:

Not necessarily, but Shanny just showed that Portis is nothing special and that a practice squad dude who's not a stumbling bama can be just as effective.

Portis can be a good third down back, becaus of his blocking although he blows as a receiver out of the backfield.

Portis is average. There are backs all over the league as good or better.

sigh...i wish he'd get the fire and be his old self again.

We were just way to cocky going into the game. I mean these are the same Redskins that ALMOST beat the Houston Texans. For example

- Play Jamaal Brown at LT? F**k no. We're playing the Rams. We don't need to put Jamaal Brown at LT, we'll give Heyer some nice experience.

- Call blitzes against a rookie QB? F**k that, we'll save them for the tougher teams.

- Play one of the most talented defensive players in the league instead of a NT that's obviously still recovering from a torn achilies? Bwahahahaha. No we'll just use him on nickel situations. Besides he didn't show up to learn the crappy defense.

- Play Devin Thomas at Receiver with Armstrong on the sidelines? Ummm, don't you realize we have Roydell Williams? Did you just answer my question with a question? I don't know did I?

Cocky cocky cocky cocky. The arrogance of this team stinks like an expensive bottle of cologne that's been spilled all over a car.

:laughing-

This is all funny and sad at the same time.

at least they will make the playoffs

I have been beseiged with the temptation to become a Habs fan. That's how bad it was.

On the streets or in jail? Now that's just stupid.


No it is not stupid. How many of these kids do you really think could get into college without the football scholarship? I mean what planet are you from? 5 years ago the UNiv of Mich was tied with Fla St for the most felons on a team. THat is pretty pathetic to even have to have a list like that. Where do you think a lot of these kids come from? The streets!!! No football or basketball scholarship and these poor kids are probably stuck there, and that is bad news. So I will stand by my previous statement, because no matter how politically incorrect it is, it is pretty much reality. ALso, does Sean Taylor ring a bell? The poor guy beat the streets, but the streets came back to take his life.

does anyone know why CP was basically benched for a practice squad player? he seemed to be running well and then disappeared.

Becasue he turns into a physics doll when he passes the LOS. If I was another team I would not game plan the run at all. CP is going to fall down regardless of contact.

Torain looked sharper in his cuts and had a little more burst.

They were blizting way too much on 3rd downs and the blitzes were getting picked up by the rams offense. What pissed me off is that we were playing too soft when we were playing a man coverage behind the blitz and way too often we were in zone behind the blitz. The coverage rendered the blitzes inneffective. I kept screaming at the TV for them to stop blitzing on 3rd downs if they weren't going to adjust the coverage behind it.

I am pissed at a lot of things after this game.

1. The play of the team on all three fronts. Offense, defense, and teams. Offense could not convert a 3rd down to save their lives. The defense, as others have mentioned, blitzed nonstop on third down and left man coverage that was exploited time and time again but Hester and no name WR's. And yes Gano is not the normal punter, even though he did punt at FSU, but we can't even block up front and our kick returns were terrible.

2. The readers on here make me mad. Almost everyone on this site is more wishy washy than a 16 year old girl trying to pick out a dress for the prom. Or a pregnant woman trying to decide whether to eat pickles and peanut butter or anchovy ice cream. Everyone was pumped after the Dallas win, for obvious reasons. Everyone thought it was bad the team lost to the Texans, but showed a good offensive scheme and just let one slip away. Now we lose to the Rams, who always play us hard and match up well against us for some reason, and everyone is ready to fire all the coaches and cut 2/3 of the team. Calm the eff down. Rome was not built in a day. If you came into this season thinking we were going to crush people out of the gates for the whole season you need to find a new sport to watch. Expectations people. Are we improved from last year? I think so. Are we worse in some areas? Most definitely. Are we going to win it all this year or even make the playoffs? Up for debate.

The point is keep an even keel. There are going to be good wins (Week 1), and bad losses (Week 3). We have a legit front office and a legit coach. Let them work. These things take time.
