For me aggressive is more something known when seen. Maybe a good example is a 4th and 1 or 2 from ATL 40, rather than punting, just making the decision to go for it. We saw from the ATL game Sunday, that pinning them at the one doesn't mean that much, and I would rather have the ball in Griffins hands then depend on ST/Defense.
Got it, i'm with you.

Here is the thing the Skins have been good at all season... get the lead early and then either give it away in the 3rd and 4th Qtrs or somehow survive the 3rd and 4th Qtrs and hold on to win. Somehow we need to play better Defense in the 3rd and 4th qtrs and on offense keep scoring in the 2nd half, which we really haven't been doing.

The best thing we can do is pound the rock all day and try to keep their offense off the field.
This is the only thing we can do. If we can do this, and pick up a timely turnover somehow, we might have a shot. But we cannot afford any turnovers, missed fg's or missed tackles.
This game will test us, and is a real good barometer if we are going to compete this year, or if we are just going to hang around and maybe get to .500. Look for alot of questions to be answered this week. The secondary MUST stop the bleeding this year, and this is a horrible game/matchup for them. These scenarios are where game planning and scheme can keep your head above water. Lets see if Haslett can adjust, and if Morris' insight from playing them twice a year reaps anything.

Run the ball, safe passes, no TO, and hope we can get pressure on Matt Ryan. We cannot cover Tony, Jones and White. Our offense will be our best defense.

Create a shock collar that goes off anytime Jim Haslett thinks of sending a 0-cover blitz.

Are the Redskins playing a soft zone coverage? Or are they playing man to man? Something has to be different about the coverages. The Redskins did well in coverage all of last season but have allowed wideouts to scorch them and QBs to throw for tons of yardage against them so far this season.

With our completely shitty secondary there is no game plan that will be effective. You just have to hope you score more and utilize a few trick plays here and there on offense and special teams. One thing I would definitely stay away from is blitzing and man coverage.
Let's also not forget they have the best TE to have ever existed in the history of mankind. Skins defense will be raped this weekend, we just have to hope we don't get impregnated in the process.

I just don't understand our defense. We made tremendous strides from 2010 to 2011. But because of our secondary we've backslid back to 2010 mode.

Our best defense has to be a good offense in my mind. Long drives by RG3 & co. keeping Matt Ryan off the field and out of sync kind of like we did with Brees & the Saints early on in that game.
When our D is on the field, we can't stop them - just have to contain them. No big plays. I just hope our offense can score 35+ points.
this -- control the game clock. Win the same way they did against NO -- simply by keeping Brees off the field. I expect the defense to give up a TD every drive that Matty Ice and co. are on the field so just don't let them take the field.

I can see Ryan Kerrigan and Stephen Bowen combining for five sacks in this game.
