The Gud, the bad and the Great. Rams Post game reactions

Interesting grading...

Top Performers:

DT Jason Hatcher (+3.7)
TE Jordan Reed (+2.3)
ILB Keenan Robinson (+1.9)
TE Derek Carrier (+1.9)
OLB Ryan Kerrigan (+1.5)


But Hatcher does it again.

Interesting on Kory L...but I gotta agree. He has been the weak link along the line. But he's had extremely tough match ups on the inside

Jeez.. can we just quit bitching for today.. just today. We won..

Never stop trying to improve... The great teams dont stop trying to improve simply because of one game.

We had 4 days last year where we won. It wasnt a good year.

Also, I wasnt bitching so much as I was responding. If all we do is hold hands and sing Kumbaya together, this forum wouldnt be any fun.

Relax... We come here to talk Redskins, and that includes disagreements. I didnt say KI should go jump off a bridge or anything. He is an intelligent poster, doesnt mean I agree with him 100%.

Didnt really see it as bitching either. How boring would it be here if one person wrote __"team looked great today", and than 179 people replied "yep". Lol

In addition to managing the game well, I thought Kirk did fire a couple of MONEY balls. Like above average QB throws.

Jeff Fisher and his teams are always an enigma.

Good- Finally Getting a W (can't remember the last time that happened)

Bad- Penalties Much better than last week but we still can and need to do better

Great- Nice to see our Defense dominating for a change and people flying to the ball, Our New Kicker making us say Kai who?
Kirk, managed the game nicely and made the plays when he had too.
Alfmo and Jones Combo, a lethal combonation and fun to watch
Monday morninig feels so much better after a win

I make it a point normally to NOT listen to ANY sports shows on Mon morning...
BUT NOT TODAY!!!!

Curious as I didn't get to watch the game... Did Preston Smith get more playing time? How did he fare? Also I heard Jarret was playing a lot of nickel corner. How did he manage?

Preston Smith and Trent still splitting time. I thought both played decent.

And yes on Kyshoen Jarrett was getting playing time, I didnt know what capacity it was...he held up. I didnt know if he was just a package guy or in as the nickle all the time. I like it

McC so far, high marks on this draft class

Let me address a couple of specific complaints from a couple of youse guys that I consider to be misguided:



1. We need to fix the "third quarter let-downs".



We played two good teams. Good teams are going to make a run at you at some point. Their coaches are going to throw the kitchen sink at you coming out of halftime. The key for the Redskins was to absorb their best shot and then regain control of the game. The Skins did exactly that and put away the Rams in the 4th quarter. That's how it's done.



2. Kirk Cousins is not going to be able to carry the team without a running game to help him.



No shit, Sherlock! Nobody is comparing Kirk Cousins to Tom Brady. The Redskins formula is to have a strong running game and a QB who can complement it with short to medium passes. Kirk is supposed to read the defense and make accurate throws to the correct receivers. If you would like to call Kirk a "game manager", go ahead. He isn't going to be an All-Pro but if he can be efficient we can win with him. Let's be happy to have Kirk the Truck Driver to keep this runaway truck of an offense on the road.



We won! Life is good. HTTR!


Agreed. The Rams were never really in the game and I never felt like the Skins lost control even after the Britt TD.

Our formula is clearly based on the running game and defense. Nothing wrong with that, a lot of teams have won a lot of games with that approach.
