Redskins at Saints Post Game Thoughts

Billy Cundiff gets my vote in the poll.

It just something I love about seeing a big white boy like Paulsen drag defenders down field. I was like this is Redskins football right here.

No offense to big white boys:)

That made me laugh. :) He definitely looks old school. He's one hardnosed Redskin for sure. Great effort.

So do we bring cooley back?

Strictly on a momentum basis if it ain't broke don't fix it

I should probably go with Cundiff but I'm gonna go with my preseason pick for 2012 Redskins FA MVP

1. Garcon looked very much like a No. 1 WR;

2. For this one game, the emphasis on upgrading the WR corp appearred to be the right approach. Again, which of our WR's last year makes the plays that Garcon and Robinson made yesterday?

3. The line did a journeyman's job (The run game was unimpressive, Morris had a 96 yards but only after a ton of carries). At the same time, if the O-Line didn't win the game, it certainly did not lose it;

4. Never heard Polumbus' name called or having his guy steam roll any significant plays (I may be wrong on that - if so, I am sure someone will point it out).

5. On D, if they are playing anyone but an elite QB like Brees, I am convinced they would have had several (not just one or two) more sacks. Brees just gets rid of the ball so damn fast. Not sure the same is true of many of the other QB's we have to face. (Bradford, Dalton, Freeman, Ponder). On front 7 played very well, making sure the back end was not having to hold coverage forever. When Brees had time, it was b/c he was scrambling away from pressure. It seemed rare that he was able to simply stand in the pocket and survey the field. If they can keep it up, I think our front 7 is going to terrorize some QB's.

Totally agree just wondering where all the people who thought they knew better than the brass did when we cut him disappeared to.

SO tough to pick anyone.


Gomes and the whole secondary.

All of the WRs..Garcon obviously, but especially Robinson for replacing Garcon's production. Banks too.

Paulsen...clutch.

Morris...helped by his whole offensive line that played shockingly well.

Kerrigan's pressure.

Cundiff!



Somehow, it seemed that once the real games started, all of our weaknesses suddenly disappeared...the O-line, the secondary, the kicker question mark. We played as good as a game as we could. Outside of the blocked punt, we really contained the Saints as well as they possibly can be. 32 rushing yards, held Brees to 25 points, most of them late in the game when they had to abandon the run and throw deep.

He threw the ball 40+ times... and we held up... i like that stat

Cooley was never looked at in place of Paulsen, they co-existed last year nicely. Let's look at the drops by Davis, or the non-existent Niles Paul. Let me put it this way, if Grossman is gonna be inactive gameday, I'd rather have that be Cooley.

im still drunk from yesterday...what was in that kool aid?
