Redskins vs. Bengals Post Game Reaction

I love how D. Hall is the scape goat for people today. He was in tight coverage a lot with the best WR in the league. He shouldn't of been on lone islands with him, but it is what it is..

Defense has given up to many points. Jackson played well and I was impressed besides the few reverses he bit on.

RG3 Was good again for his 3rd game in.. If our defense could only stop teams half the time..

it isn't D Hall it is the secondary as a whole. We need guys that can play with the best on just about every Sunday. Our depth is rather lacking as well.

Who cares what the rank was. How many games did we win last year? This team wasn't a good one last year and the defense was part of that.

Rank is important because the defense WASN'T bad last year. Don't be obtuse.

Secondary is terrible. Defensive coaching is bad. Offense is good with the exception of our offensive line, which is absolutely atrocious. Their defensive ends were consistently able to generate pressure against our tackles. Fortunately we were able to mitigate that threat a bit by getting RG3 out of the pocket, but if grossman had been back there we would have been lucky to score 20 points.

I told my buddy before the game that we'd have to double AJ green the whole game to have any chance. What does Haslett do? Play single man coverage with Hall against Green and stand off him 10 yards. Sure I understand you don't want to get beat deep, but THAT'S WHY YOU DOUBLE HIM! And people are surprised when he gets ~200 yards... WHO ELSE ON THE BENGALS IS A THREAT!?

This.

I didn't have a problem with it.

We had more momentum as a team and crowd at that point than we did all day long. There was no way we were not making two feet there. And again the punt netted us thirteen yards of field position. Its not like we were at our own forty.

My impressions of the game:

1. The read option has got to go bye-bye. I don't even care that running it helped us get back in the game today because it is going to get RGIII hurt.

2. This Redskins secondary may be the worst one I've seen since before the George Allen era.

3. We have big problems protecting the passer.

4. The players are playing very hard. I give them credit for their great effort.

5. We just don't have enough good players.

The only logical choice to me seems to play RGIII at CB and let him cover the other team's best receiver. He seems to be the only playmaker we have.

If you get stuffed its a huge swing. No need to chance it in that spot.

HAHA! I had thought about that too!

I agree with most of this, the option is okay, but we're definitely using it as a crutch instead of a treat; something to shock the other team's defense. Eventually they'll figure it out and as we saw, nail RG3.

If you get stuffed its a huge swing. No need to chance it in that spot.

BUt it works in Madden.
