Redskins Vs Chargers Postgame

Good points, but it is odd how quiet they've been sack wise lately. Not just yesterday but it's been a few games. Rak has gone 4 games now without one.

I agree that Kerrigan and Orakpo have been unusually quiet as of late, which is odd considering the defense as a whole has played significantly better. I'm not sure what to make of it.

I think people are just expecting something out of Rak that he can't give, he's just not very good at rushing the QB, He'll tease u one game out of 5 but then vanish as he has done once again.

I still think BOTH belong lined up as DEs with a hand on the ground. Neither should be in coverage or doing ANYTHING other than pursuing the QB on every down.

If we were a 4-3, that's where they'd probably be.

Only resign Orakpo if the money makes sense, it's the unit as a whole that isn't getting to the QB enough. He is definately not quite doing enough, but he makes a tackle for a loss every game. We don't have enough speed on defense, and he is probably one of the faster players. Which is a bit scary....


I give the refs an F for the game, they were just terrible. So many bad calls.

the last call against SD was embarrassing for the NFL , Garcon wasn't even hit

Everyone on ESPN talking about how the Redskins are going to win the division lol..

Amazing what a win will do. Now we just need to shit the bed against the Vikings and get back to normal

But they didn't get any sacks, which means they're obviously not doing their job.

Nevermind the fact that Rivers and P. Manning are two of the least sacked quarterbacks in the league. In fact, the only full season starter that has been sacked less than those two is Matt Stafford (who they've also played).
I thought the same thing all game long. Rivers was safe as can be in his pocket. Chargers did a much better job on their DL batting passes but I think we had 1-2. At least Rob Jackson got 1 sack.

Its a team win, Ill take it.

Struggling to understand why.

Imo we get zero push from the middle. Zero. Teams arent worried about the middle and double team those two.

We won the game yesterday because our front guys constantly collapsed the pocket.

I was listening on the radio and they were talking about how weak our muddle has been. If you say they did the job yesterday ok, but this year as a whole. We need more pressure in the middle.
Edit: gholston, bowen, cofoeild are run stuffers - we need someone in there to get to the qb.

Per Grant Paulsen

Rak rushed 33 times, dropped 4 times. King Dunlap got help by the guard on 2 rushes.

I didn't see much doubling going on myself either.
