Smoot Lays the Smack Down (Panthers at Redskins)

Kerrigan had a sack last week against Pitt.

But yeah in general these guys are getting zero pressure.

I was actually enjoying the blitzes yesterday. When we play coverage we get owned so we might as well dial up some pressure. Against people like Manning/Romo, maybe not so much, but against the Vicks/Newtons why not?

No was has mentioned that RGIII made his share of high passes and balls bouncing at guys feet. He stopped several drives on just bad passes to guys wide open.

This is a good point, but i wonder how much the rib injury had to do with his accuracy issues...

Matty mentioned it yesterday but Rak is definitely better than Ryan is.

I certainly underrated Orakpo

Can't really disagree with you there. I have much higher regard for Shanahan the coach than I do in Shanahan the GM.

Well we talked about this before he joined the team, Shanahan's philosophy is a bit curious when it comes to selecting players. And remember he has the final say, though he listens to all input.

How do you even "rate" Orakpo, he's barely played this year.

Anything new for us to chew on this bye week?

He means he didn't think we'd miss him as much as we do.

This is the type of stuff that just angers me the most about the skins:

Andrew Luck tops Ryan Tannehill, Doug Martin, Bears defense, NFL Week 9 thoughts - Don Banks - SI.com (http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2012/writers/don_banks/11/04/andrew-luck-colts-dolphins/index.html?sct=nfl_t12_a0)

How long does team have to be in the basement?

Just frustrating all around; I have actually this year lost my enjoyment of even the rest of the league. If your favorite team can't even compete at all what is the point of watching.

I have said this before but if not for this site I probably have dropped the Skins by now. I didn't have super high expectations for this year and been happy anywhere between 7 and 9 wins. Right now looking sub 6; there is as a team for a win stand point (the most important stand point) has been no improvement under MS. I hate to say because I don't want us to have to start all over again but I think MS and companies ship has sailed.

As in will he re-sign? I think he will

Yea that's what I was referring too. Just hadn't heard anything about a possible contract.

What do you mean?
