Skins vs. Steelers Positives and Negatives

Positives: No injuries. The receiving core looked pretty good for the most part, no help from Cousins. Hopkins still looks sharp, fingers crossed. Redskins tend to be cursed with kickers; 1 good season then a complete fall off a cliff. Hoping he's actually our franchise kicker (???)

Negatives: Literally everything else. The coaching was completely absent, Gruden has the balls of a fetus in utero, Barry is Gruden's fetal eunuch twin, Cousins was replaced by Mr. Magoo, the d-line played like a bunch of high schoolers (that may be an insult to some decent high school teams), Chris Thompson did better than Matt Jones who just looks slow, but granted he was running behind a center who I'd be surprised could do more than 2 bench press reps and a $3 bootleg dvd LG.

Preston Smith had some good pressures last night, he was the only guy really doing anything along the line. We had a ton of guys get themselves out of position on the running plays, really poor discipline. I think Breeland did ok against Brown, the best your gonna do against him is 50/50. He needed more safety help, and they always seemed to be a few yards away.

I'm really hoping they were just super rusty, and they shake it off fast.

Off topic but the NFL just announced the skins will wear gold on gold for color rush...

Maybe that is why Norman was yelling at Bruton.

Breeland got smoked, did he make any plays at all on Brown?

Corners get beat, it happens, especially against the best in the biz. But Breeland had a flat out bad game.

Positives:

No injuries.
It's only one game. This week is a must win though.
Kicking game looked solid.
DeSean Jackson looked good.





Negatives:



Offense was pure dog shit. No running game still. 3/10 on third down conversions.
Shit coaching. These guys were clueless in the game planning. (especially defensively)
Penalties. Seemed like this was the 5th pre-season game. No discipline whatsoever.
Our center is trash.
No pass rush whatsoever which goes along with the next point.
Our DL is pure shit. If Kedrick Gholston is starting, you know you are in deep shit. It showed last night.
Kirk Cousins proved the doubters right as to why we shouldn't have signed him to a huge contract. Guy has to do much better than that crap he showed last night.

TOTALLY OUTCOACHED!!!! also the redskins don't have the Push on the d line to beat any good team. the cowboys are gonna have a field day with us. fortunately we did not sign Cousins to any long term deal because he looked very average..SM has made a good decision on letting this year play out on Cousins. I WANT to see him beat good teams!! his record against good teams is not good.. how many playoff teams has Cousins beat? COWBOYS 42 skins 10 ...it pains me to say it......

KC still looks like the bright lights get to him. That's the next step he needs to take, he's gotta show up in big games.

Yeah last night he was not any good. His numbers were better than his performance. There is no excuses, he has a good line and great targets. Reed was balling until the defense took him away. Kirk has to move around more too, Jon was right when he said kirk has to take off for those few yards on 3rd down. That's what is most concerning to me and it also shows y Scot didn't sign him right away.

Dustin Hopkins is the only positive.

Negatives...

Joe Barry..I've seen enough to know he isn't going to take an average group and make them better.

Breeland..not sure I can blame him more than the coaches. They let him down.

Cousins...you're not a top ten qb right now. When are you going to play a great game against a strong team??

Kerrigan..you're just an average pass rusher dude.

Thompson ...can't pass protect for shit, can't run a route past the first down marker.

Entire dline...no talent, no play makers.

Penalties..a sign of an undisciplined team.
