We won!!!!!!!!!! (Redskins vs. Raiders Post Game Thread)

Ugly win but it is indeed a Win!

I agree that it has been and can be a successful scheme, but I'd be interested to see if there are any stats about time in the pocket and QB hits / sacks/ injuries for Zone Scheme vs others. There probably aren't such stats, and I'm certainly not head coach material, but I guess on a common sense level, if I were building my team around a franchise QB with a big arm I would be putting the biggest best Pass Protecting OL that I could find in front of him, even if he is mobile. I really have confidence in the Shanihans, but I think it is still a point worth debating.

Usually teams that use a ZBS do a fair amount of rollouts, bootlegs, and moving pockets in the passing game. Thats one of the things that Kyle needs to get on board with. He doesnt do enough of them imo. RG3 is good on the move, and it shouldnt just be scrambles. We can start him moving from the snap to get away from the rush. The constant moving side to side, on both stretch runs and a moving pocket in the pass game, can wear down a defensive line.

I also don't understand why we had to tank the first quarter of the season to give RG3 playing time while recovering. Going off the Cleveland game last season, we could have won an extra game or two so far with Cousins. Remember we were NFCE champs, but only beat NYG by one game and came down to the last reg season game with DAL. I don't agree with sacrificing the team for any one individual.

RG3 needs to get back up to speed and in football shape? That's what practice and conditioning is for. Griffin did darn well with zero NFL experience his rookie season, he'll be fine. Playing him like we have, we're lucky not to be 0-4 and RG3 knocked out of this season, IMO.

Start Cousins till RG3 is 100%. I mean full mobility the knee brace is off 100%. It's better for RG3 and the Skins.

I disagree with everything you wrote about starting Cousins over RGIII.

RGIII is our QB now and hopefully for many years to come. He needs the work he gets in games to develop into one of the top few QB's in the NFL. If he were not well enough to play, then he wouldn't be on the field.

Also, with the way the Redskins played so poorly on defense against Philly and GB, it is very doubtful that Cousins could have made any difference in the outcome of those games. In the Detroit game, we were one dropped pass away from a win.

wow: just looked at some tweets/pics from HTTR24_7 Paul and OL made some dumb ones. Look at these two pics for example:

Paul just missed the guy, and this is the result:

Need to get Fred Davis back on the field. He's our best te.

So it's a sprained MCL for Logan Paulsen

not too bad i guess.. any news on Reed

Schaub certainly helped,no doubt about that.BUT when Seattle needed it Wilson took them on a 98 yard drive with a couple of great passes,1 td nullified by penalty,and some great runs to get them in the endzone.If you didnt watch the game then you dont know how well Wilson played.I watched houdston game and skins game.

I watched every play from both games and Wilson did not play great by any stretch, but hey it is what it is. I am not gonna change your mind and you arent gonna change mine. Let's just move on.

So it's a sprained MCL for Logan Paulsen

How long will he be out? Any idea?

The whole 4 TE thing hasn't really panned out so far.

Need to get Fred Davis back on the field. He's our best te.

Honestly I don't believe that anymore.

I was hoping for that to be the case, but our best all around te right now is Paulsen. Hell I don't even think davis is our best pass catcher. Reed is becoming that guy.

Davis is having some problems.
