Skins-Jags Positives and Negatives

Ryan grant was impressive today. Too me, he's ahead of Robinson. I thought Robinson made a bad holding penalty and couldn't get a first when had blockers in front of him on another play.

I also find it interesting that gruden chooses to use miles paul as the pass catcher instead of Paulson. Paulson is used exclusively to block.

Did anyone notice when cousins came in, the Oline looked immediately better pass blocking? Cousins doesn't hold the ball, he reads and has a has quick trigger. I thought it was obvious between the 2.

I don't know much about QB play but I could definitely see Cousins going through his reads. His head was on a swivel.

Paul is obviously faster and more athletic than Paulson, so that should come as no surprise that he would play Jordan Reed's role in the offense.

Yeah, but I think Paulson hands are better.

Everything except Rambo, penalties, and injuries were incredibly positive today. I hope we get good news on these injuries. Especially D Jax.

I heard DJax was a mild shoulder sprain and he should be back next week. I can't imagine him wanting to miss that Philly game.

I hope so but i dont want them to rush him back just cus he has a score to settle.

Serious Question here - Rich Tandler the redskins blogger is saying that RG3 may be out for most of the year. Do the redskins do the whole Damon Huard / Trent Green thing? What i'm asking is if the Skins are winning and in playoff contention with Cousins, do they go back to RG3 or do they stick to the hot hand?

It would be terrible to see Kirk and the team almost get to the playoffs to have a hobbled RG3 come back and tank the season...

I REALLLLLLLLLLLY wanted Rambo to work out (and Phillip Thomas for that matter), but it's not looking good.

No matter, I thought all the "Shanahan is meddling with Haslett" was kind of BS, but part of me really agrees. His defensive schemes looked creative and we had some rookies and backups really contributing. After seeing Chris Baker at NT, Cofield might be able to go back to DE and eat people up like he used to (not that he was bad at NT). LOVE me some Bashaud Breeland. Guy is going to pick up right where D. Hall leaves off when he goes.

Also, an unheralded guy is Trent Murphy. The stat line might not show him, but every time I see him he's either making a pressure or eating up blockers. Only a matter of time before he starts getting the sacks.

I agree. I like that he does not have to start. He can develop and hopefully he will be ready for next year. That way we can spend the $11million Orakpo money on a Right Tackle and more.

Yeah, but I think Paulson hands are better.

The think with Paul is the catches he does make, makes you think: "Wait, he caught that? Great catch!"

And the ones he drops make you say "How in the fu*k did he not catch that?"

But if he can develop into a 2nd receiving TE, we will be even more dangerous.

Paul has been impressive. Another guy that would have been cut long ago if it were up to the fans.

I agree. I like that he does not have to start. He can develop and hopefully he will be ready for next year.

Better still, perhaps Morgan Moses will be ready to assume the starting role at RT.
