Breaking it Down - Skins @ Giants

Two words. Trap. Game.

For the home team.

I never get the no chance comments. first because its the nfl, and any given Sunday. second, we have shown the ability to play with this team (unless david wilson is a superman), and third the griffin factor. I understand we might not be favored, and a blowout is a possibility, but no chance? meaning no conceivable way that a combination of time consuming drives and turnovers with one or two 3 and outs sprinkled in could lead to us winning? I think a few more weeks of this team playing for a full 4quarters and the pessimists may finally be converted.

I think we have a chance. In my post I was speaking to the fact that if both the redskins play as well as they possibly could, and the giants play as well as they possibly could, the Giants will win, and will probably win in a convincing manner. I agree anything can happen, but if both teams bring their A games, they Giants will win. If the Giants bring their C game like they did last year, we will can beat them if we execute. It depends on which NYG team shows up.

eh, honestly i never thought they were that good to begin with, i dont buy christian ponder as i've stated before... the defense is ok, front 7 mainly.. and a better 2ndary than ours... lack of weapons in the passing game, percy harvin is ok but as a #1 he lacks size and possession ability.. just really dont buy them at 4-1 and i think they caught SF sleeping... good win... good team effort... we need to play better to beat the giants sunday

Harvin is not just ok, he makes plays for that team pretty consistently now and was a beast at Florida. I wouldn't call him just ok but I agree that the Vikings are not as good as their record would indicate.

If Harvin was on a high profile team, he would be regarded as the best playmaker in the game. Dude can hurt you everywhere. Catching, running and kick returning.

he is good, a beast yes, just not as a number 1

Its easier to find a number 1 than find a Harvin-type player.

Do number 1 WR typically lead the league in receptions? Because Percy leads with 49 rec in 6 games. He's scored rushing the ball, kick return of 105 yards, and catching the ball this year.

i'll check out his stats at the end of the year... but yea he's a dynamic heck of a player

I don't think Coach Haz has done a bad job. The defense has underachieved a lot this season so far because players are simply not playing like their capable of playing. Like when Josh Wilson fell down on a play against the Bengals and the WR ran 42 yards for a TD. It's plays like that that keep the Redskins from winning games.

What I would like to see is Coach Haz call something different similar to what Richie Pettibon used to do. Pettibon used to call the defense using 3 man lines and five man lines back when the Redskins ran a 4-man front. I would like to see the Redskins employ the 46 defense as well as the 4-3 defense for many 10 or 15 of the opposing offensive snaps. That might bewilder the opposing offense and its coordinator.

Just can't agree with the first paragraph. Haslett's scheme to start games and his adjustments mid-game have been lousy. This 3-4 defense should be based on man coverage at least 80% of the time and only works if the offense is confused about where the pressure will come from. I think Haslett has achieved that in maybe six full quarters...over our first six games.

Every defense misses a play or two, and actually I have to say our secondary has been more fiery this season than as long as I can remember. We have smaller DBs and they've hit guys in the mouth in every game. What you're mostly seeing is players out of position to compete, and that's a result of scheme and adjustments (or lack thereof).

No Kenny Phillips for the Giants on Sunday
