Smoot Lays the Smack Down (Redskins at Cowboys)

Seriously, F D. Hall. Guy played poorly tonight... and ya know, I'm ok with other guys who played poorly, but if you're gonna talk ****, back it up. If not, keep your mouth shut. This is why I HATE when the Skins open their mouths (which they rarely do outside of Hall)... god that makes me angry.

And the MNF opening musical segment.

Unless you yourself composed it. If so, very well played SS.

I don't even think I've heard it this year

Even the Madden AI would figure out someone calling three cover-0 blitzes in a row. Actually, I'm reminded of the Blache 2009 where we called a cover-0 blitz and Bradshaw BURNT us on a screen.

It happens 44, hey we are a better team than last year just chill. 3-1 at the bye would really ease the pain. Rex is what he is that's y most of us wanted Beck but gotta stick w him

Bryant was tossing Hall around like a rag doll all game. Just seriously stomped on him. How tall is Bryant like 6'3? Hall looked like a small child next to him.

We see how well that worked out for us tonight.

“That’s how it was; it ain’t how it’s gonna be from here on out,” Hall said Monday morning. “I’m going wherever the [obscenity] ball is going. Wherever the receiver is going, that’s where the [obscenity] I’m going.”

Asked whether Haslett would be receptive to his demand, Hall stood firm.

“It don’t matter what he say,” Hall said. “This [is] my team. This [is] my defense. I’m gonna follow the receivers around. If we’ve got to do that to win games, that’s what I’m gonna do.”

Wow, super disagree on the whole Beck wouldn't have done better. How could he have done worse? Grossman made mistake after mistake tonight, the awful interception, the near INT in the red zone, the two other near interceptions (Santana having to play CB), losing the ball on the last play, nearly losing the ball a little earlier, having no zip on about 50% of his passes. He was pathetic, Beck would have been better by virtue of only making half those myriad mistakes

Oh and Grossman's really fat

Well...I think we saw a clearer picture of the roster but more importantly the coaching staff tonight.

1. Coaching. Haslett is awful, just awful. I've never had faith in his ability and definitely believe he was very lucky in the first two games. How can you leave Hall alone in coverage (no safety back there)? How can your blitz calls continually get picked up by one of the worst offensive lines in the league?

I honestly can't say whether we have the right personnel for the 3-4 scheme yet, and toward the bigger picture I think there's still an argument to be made this coaching/FO regime was stupid to make the switch away from the 4-3 when and how it did, but regardless Haslett isn't a winner. He's making stupid calls and taking stupid risks in his 2nd season...again, Hall in lone coverage and no safety help in a close game.

The coaching on the offensive side of the ball isn't much better. Shanny didn't stay committed to the run and let the offense get predictable.

2.) On the player side I don't have a problem giving Beck a shot. Rex is sinking (comfortably) into his bad old habits of forcing lousy passes on not protecting the football.

Jammal Brown is also in the dog house, but altogether I don't think this oline has anything to brag about. Again it begs the question of coaching/FO decisions. Why do we have the guys we do on the line in Bruce and Mike's second season?

I remember thinking last year how disappointing the new regime was in light of a championship level coach returning from a hiatus i.e. you'd expect a solid plan that produces results. This season isn't much different. Defensively, unless Orakpo and Kerrigan have great games we're very mediocre. We faced an absolutely terrible offense tonight and they scored more points than we did. Offensively, we (still) don't have a solution at QB and (still) don't have a dominant possession receiver. And most importantly we still struggle to put points on the board when it matters.

Goat our OL isn't that bad actually and in all fairness J.H has done a decent job so far, 2 out of 3 games under 20 points.
