Ravens v. Redskins Gameday Thread

As Tony Gonzales on CBS just picked the Redskins to win the East.He obviously hasn't been watching Griffin very closely this preseason..

Well i really hope things turn around within 2 weeks.

RG3 looked like crap...blame it on the line all you want...but a few completions would have backed them off.
In a pass offense, you pass first to back off the defense so you can run...but this assumes you can connect on some throws.

On another note...it just could be that the coach wanted him to function as a traditional pocket passer to see where he is in his development.
Obviously he has miles to go....but didn't you notice?...no screens?, no rollouts?
No moving pocket? I sure hope that was by design..because we sure will need that + misdirection during the seaons.

If this is true...that is fine...but it means the Skins have had very little practice at this. The Skins offense CAN NOT be a traditional smash mouth, pocket passing offense...it must involve a lot of motion and misdirection. We have learned we have a poor short yardage running power game...and poor pocket passing capability. Our oline is built to move around. We heard that we werent changing our run offense...well..I saw basics today. Bottom line, Skins offense doesn't do basics well enough...we dont have the talent to go toe to toe....therefore, we need to outscheme the defense and play to Roberts strengths...which will restrict his ability to develop as a pocket passer.
Say what you want about Shanny Jr...but the guy got the most out of RG3 and Morris...he would kick butt with the new toys this year. I just haven't seen any innovation from our new coach yet...in fact...it seems far more basic.

On another note...I love our front 7.
But we need to watch the waver wire for punters and Oline.

Wonder if we could get 2 #1's for Rg3? at this point...I may take it, hes shown no growth this offseason at all I'd be fine with a humble average QB that scores

Think back to how we looked in pre season 2 years ago, by design, very very vanilla and not alot to be soooo poud of... but uts preseason, bring on houston.

Griffin had a bad night but I'll hit the panic button week one. He still has issues getting the ball out on time. Plus he ran out of bounds TWICE and lost yardage for no reason. Total lack of awareness. The pass to Morris was atrocious. He looked at him the entire time while he was covered and still threw it. I think Gruden had seen enough and put Cousins in. Cousins does what he always does, gets it out on time, throws some beautiful balls and will always throw one or two that make you shake your head. We're going to see Cousins at some point this year. Trust me on that.

Cousins didn't look that good, your exaggerating. Cousins gets the ball out of his hands but he keeps missing open receivers. It's always low

that oline was hurrendous tonite. and griff was very dialed back after last week. he could have bursted after the one stiff arm play. i saw him make one full speed burst all game. i havent been happy with Morris but hes a Vision/Power back and its safe to say there was no hole to see. from trent over its rugged it really is.

Cousins is another Grossman.

i wanna griff go 9 for 9 and a td.. too much to ask?

something tells me that we really have not open the playbook yet
