Redskins at Saints Post Game Thoughts

I gave my "non-RG3" game ball to AlfMo. He never had one easy run at all yesterday, and all of his yard were hard earned. They were prepared for us trying to run the ball on them, and we stuck with it even though it wasn't working. But doing that definitely helped take pressure off RG3 to have the game that he did. It's important to stick with the run when it isn't working, and that's what we did.

Leave it to the lawyer for double talk!!!
Voted in the poll for Morris. Almost went with Gomes who seemed to play a heck of a game. Really, never heard Wilson's name called and I guess that's a good thing.

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;

Man this is a good morning to be a Skins Fan

The media is definitely giving Griffin his credit. However, what I find funny is how before the game the media was saying the skins were walking into a buzz saw. 1. Playing for Payton 2. The players being reinstated 3. Vindication for the penalties placed upon them by the NFL. 4. Etc., etc.

Today I'm hearing how the Saints are a different team and had to many distractions.

Not that it matters but I feel like the media is now trying to detract from what the Skins did yesterday.

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.

Niles paul was supposed to be the next shannon sharpe according to alot of the idiots on es. Thats one of the reasons i was labled a troublemaker and eventually booted off. I disagreed. Lol. Im hoping davis shakes the drops off. Though he did make a nice effort to get open and snag that beautiful throw by rg3. There are a handful of guys id rather see cooley than. My point was not that i dont like cooley or think he has a little left in the tank but when we cut him some people were giving up on the season.

Mike and mike. Nfl on sirius and mad dog radio all saying still that new orleans was a tuff first game due to all those reasons.

How about Aldrick Robinson? We need to see more of this guy.

Lot of guys missing from that Poll Fletcher and Wilson were IMO the clear defensive MVP's, IMO if that poll read "besides Griffin Fletcher and Wilson" it would be better. Most fans don't know what they're looking at with CB's so unless there's an INT or a corner blitz that works you're not going to hear their name, Wilson was huge. Gomes was my runner up so I voted for him.

Morris had a good game he found the holes the line made on his TD's, got into the second level a couple times later in the game, made some yards with his vision mostly late when their D was gassed and some nice moves at the second level, not going to diminish what he did, it just didn't have the play making impact that Wilson's HUGE defended passes, Fletcher's TD saving backside pursuit, or Gomes' INT + return that lead to a TD, along with his solid work in run support and even some pressure on Brees. Gomes actually had a monster game.

IMO the difference between them and Morris yesterday is simply that those were "plays made" at crucial moments that often didn't get made in the past versus a very solid all around run performance that will make a lot of fantasy owners happy (at least for a week or two) , but none the less is something that Mike Shanahan could seemingly get our of his left shoe, or the spare tire from his car. Again not putting down Morris at all, he could be the next big thing, but he's just joined (in no order):

Helu, Royster, K Williams, Ryan Torain, Tatum Bell his name sake and successor scant few months later: Mike Bell, Reuben Droughns, Olandis Gary, Travis Henry, Mike Anderson and etc. as RB's who look(ed) good in Shanahan's scheme...

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

I dont know but ill have another!

I dont know but ill have another!

I'll take a pitcher full!

I think we should give kudos to our GM together with Shannahan not only for making the biggest trade in our history, but for all the late round draft choices that helped us win that game.
