Smoot Lays the Smack Down (Cowboys at Redskins)

Deserves a Scud Stud just from that Tweet alone. :laughing-

That was ****ing dumb on so many levels. Mainly because someone else got in trouble for saying virtually the same exact thing on Twitter.

Honestly, I don't think he's any better at covering then Brian Westbrook. He just has a bigger contract.

There is no way you're serious lol..

If Westbrook was that good then he would be starting over Wilson too. Hall does a solid job in covering. He doesn't shut down the big time WR's for a whole game like some elite CB's do, but I never expect him too..

Dez Bryant burned Revis and both of the Eagles CB's this year too.. Just saying, that Dez is a monster and covering him for a long amount of time is a miracle.

I enjoy the shit talking.. What I can't stand is when we are losing, i'm watching Rocky Mcintosh start pushing and fighting the other team while we are losing

I find it kinda odd that Kerrigan and Rak's numbers are very similar across the board. So Kerrigan is ballin' yet Rak isn't?

Or more curiously...Andre Carter is making them both look a bit underwhelming.

And that is with Rak having an off year IMO

Rak will get his. The package is not built yet up front. Kerrigan is one piece that is there to complement him. But that 3-4 demands a zero technique NT that occupies two blockers each play. Look at most, if not all, good 3-4 defenses that have a dominant pass rusher from the weak side, they have a dominant NT in the middle that gets pressure up the gut.

Thats one of the reasons Demarcus Ware is so successful....Jay Ratliff. When you have a NT that is constantly getting penetration up the middle, then, the double team and the check block by the RB/FB happens at that point of attack and then your OLB can feast.

Give the defense time to get those key personnel to compliment one another. Rak will be a dominant force. They don't put him on the weak side for nothing.

Different team, system, etc.

You know that's interesting. I was thinking the same thing the other day... then I realized, MAYBE IT'S WHAT THE COACHES TELL HIM TO DO.

If the coaches wanted him to play near the line, they would.

Why does every fan think they know so easily where to lay the blame?

I understand that, and have given that some thought. But I also think the coaches give the corners a little wiggle room and allow them to play at a comfortable yardage.
What I am saying is that on 3rd down or 2nd long we have blitzed a good bit. And when you blitz like we do, you'd like to have the corners up, chucking the receivers at the line, throwing off the timing of the routes. He allows the receivers to get a clean break from the line then he just turns and runs ahead of the receiver. I doubt Haslett is telling him to play like that.

And that is with Rak having an off year IMO

He's on pace to top his numbers from last year, just sayin

I can't understand the bitching and moaning about Orakpo. The dude has been a tremendous talent his 1st two years and was asked to do alot of blitzing last year. I am sure that his numbers are a little down this year with the addition of Karriker(SP). #91 is a rookie and is playing extremely well on the outside. I would venture that he getting a decent amount of sacks has taken away from Orakpo's numbers. Just because we are losing people want to pick something to bitch about. Orakpo isn't one of the things to bitch about people. Dude is stud. We have a very good tandem of outside LB's in this 3/4 for the forseeable future. We need to surround them with studs as well. WHich Perry Riley (I have said since we drafted him) is a keeper. He plays with a mean streak and is all over the field. We are building a young, fast, physical defense that next year or the following year will be terrific.
