Ravens at Redskins Post Game Thread (RG3 MRI Result-Sprained Knee)

I didn't read this article citing Cofield as a strong NT...but I think Graziano makes an interesting point of why he thinks he is...#GoatLogic

cofield is not a 3-4 nose, that's why what he's doing there is so impressive.

yeah, it'd be nice to have a real tub in there, but cofield is holding it down.

sorry if i want "impressive for the position", not "impressive for playing out of position"!!

Well he isnt a true NT, but he did stay at a holiday inn express last nite.

Truely dominant 3-4 nose tackles aren't exactly easy to find. There's barely a handful currently active in the league, and I would not advocate breaking the bank to bring any of them here.

I'd put Cofield on average to slightly above average. With all of the actual liabilities on this defense, he's probably one of the most likely players to keep his spot going into next season.

So if he thinks Griff is going to play what is he supposed to say? I get your point but again - what if he really thinks he will play?

Shanahan is much like Bellicheat in that fact that neither like to give hardly any info in regards to injuries or whether or not a player will play. I would not be surprised if he's listed as a "game time" decision whether they plan to play him or not.

NC, you've got problems.

Or you don't read what you write. Or there's something missing.

Probably time to move on and get a life, obviously this is way to much for you. And disagreeing with me makes my case. Have at it.


Somebody forgot to take their meds today.


Moving on....how about that big win yesterday???

This stat is more important in my opinion. We've left a great deal of points off the board due to our offenses inconsistency at converting 3rd downs and moving the chains.


Grant Paulsen ‏@granthpaulsen

Yes. 3rd downs have been problematic all year. 29th of 32 teams. RT @NC_Skins23 What's that 3rd down conversion percentage? Still horrible?

Ranking 29th out of 32 teams in 3rd down conversion is pathetic. Makes me mad to no end that this offense is so potent, but stalls out on 3rd downs. What really infuriates me is when I see a option pitch play on 3rd and short. Makes me want to drive to DC to choke Kyle.

Who gives a damn about stats? Would you rather have a team be 50% on 3rd down but average 17 points? The bottom line is the offense is scoring enough points to win games. 31 points yesterday should win most games!!! I think the issue with 3rd down is when teams know when we have to pass then that's the weakness. It's a combination of the line, RG3 feeling comfortable letting plays develop/not wanting to take off running, and the wr's hanging on the the ball. We have to remember that we have a 22 year old rookie playing QB. As time goes on he will develop into a better passer. His footwork in the pocket is a little off but that will improve. He's a gym rat. But again, look at this offense from last year to this year. It's night and day.But I agee, Kyle need to ditch the pitch!

Who ever goes next week I think it's safe to say that we all feel a lot better about our chances with old Kirk Sleeves Cousins after he went berserk last Sunday.

With just a grade I sprain RG3 should be able to play this week and be pretty close to his usual self.

is this real life?

Kerrigan has been rather good without a consistent pass rushing force on the other side.

Kerrigan has been taken out by average LT's throughout the season. I will take back my statement that he can't cut because he is an average player on the outside. Obviously like most people on this board I have been watching every game almost every play and almost every time they leave Kerrigan on an island with one tackle and he does the same bull rush move that he always does and never gets pressure. He got pressure on the Ravens once and that was when the let him get a free run at Flacco. Obviously this year we need to upgrade the team's pass rush because pass rush: good pass defense.
