Positives:
40 burger - haven't enjoyed a blowout like this in a long time
Kirk Cousins - for 1 game at least, you looked awesome.
Young guys - Morris did his thing, Ryan Grant looking good, Silas Redd looking good, Niles Paul looking good
Defense - If we can play this way every week, we will play a lot of close games
10 sacks!! - Awesome group effort tying a Redskins record!
Ryan Kerrigan - awesome game, 4 sacks, if my memory is correct I think that ties him with Orakpo and Manley for most sacks in a single game
Special teams - memory might be bad on this one but return game was good, we didn't give up any big returns, no blocked anythings, no major penalties = what I expect our ST to look like
Negatives:
Penalties - still too many for my liking. Detractors will point out the Seahawks led the league in penalties last year and won the SB. Fair point, I will let this slide if the Redskins manage to go the distance this year.
Bacarri Rambo - not sure if fans like him because of his last name or if they believe late round picks should be solid starters. Either way, I'm done with him. Once Nacho gets up to speed I will be happy to see Rambo hit the road. It's not just his poor angles, it's the poor tackling, combined with the fact he let a slow tight end beat him to the end zone. So you're not fast, you can't tackle, and you take poor angles? And you don't play ST either? What the hell are we keeping you for then? The worse part is the fact that Meriweather is one big hit away from an even longer suspension.
NFL trying to get rid of big hits - I understand the league's perspective, they can point to these flags and fines as proof they are trying to make the league safer in the event of another lawsuit. But coaches everywhere preach keeping your head up, and seeing what you tackle. You can't do that and lay the wood anymore, otherwise it's a personal foul. I guess the NFL would rather tacklers risk being paralyzed by keeping their heads tucked in when they tackle vs. have any big hit where the two heads come within a foot of each other.
And finally, the injuries.
RG3 dislocated ankle. Def. not looking good. :(
DeSean Jackson AC joint sprain. day to day.
Roy Helu quad strain, day to day.
Shawn Lauvau: knee inflamation, day to day.
