Washington Redskins vs Detroit Lions Pregame Thread

So I hear that Brandon Merriweather is practicing today? Really? after being knocked out? How does that work?
I think we should cut him.

Oh, ESPN said it so it must be true.

It's John Keim, he tends to be on point.

Funny thing is all we heard in camp was how great he looked.

Does anybody know if Merriweather is gonna be able to play his 1 series this week?

Kinda early. No word on if he's going to be playing his 30 seconds this week.

lmao yal crack me up on BM.

I told you Morris was rusty and needed more preseason work. Just saying it this way cuz of the way some people on here were dismissing it.

Limited preseason work hurt Alfred Morris - NFC East Blog - ESPN (http://espn.go.com/blog/nfceast/post/_/id/56506/limited-preseason-work-hurt-alfred-morris)

Man Alfmo is fine.

Morris is definitely fine. I hate our new play calling. Yes...we have been down many point which forces us to throw..I understand but Griff standing in the pocket like a statue when he only has a second to throw isn't gonna work. It seems to me that RG3 always needs a lot of time on deciding to throw and to who. Moving the pocket and scrambling gave him that time. He's forcing throws to 1st options.

Isn't Alfmo the least of our worries? At least he can get over 100+ yards per game even with our shitty Oline.

Well geez, don't sound like you're doing us a favor. I can understand running LESS but not running at all is seriously hurting more than helping.

I want to agree with you, but our first two stalled drives are directly tied to Morris, and his lack of consistent push these first two games early on, when I think that the Skins wanted him to shoulder the load, he couldn't. Yes the defenses accounted for him, but the Skins needed him to keep the downs and distances manageable, and so far I don't think he accomplished that.

Still, I think the offense will click, and when it does the defense will get better for several reasons, which I think you have already outlined.
