Packers Pre Game

The Redskins waived defensive tackle Jordan Hill to sign Lovato.

The most important thing that we're now able to do with our running game is to get positive yardage and avoid negative yardage. That is especially important on first down. Three or four yards rushing on first down sets up the offense to run just about any play they want to run.

Rob Kelly has made a difference because he's a north-south runner who makes yards after contact but do not underestimate the ability of our OL to run block. I studied the OL tape after the Vikings game and they were moving people off the LOS. Even our TE's blocked well, considering that they are better known as receivers.

Another player who deserves recognition is Spencer Long. He has given us a powerful presence at C and he drove Linval Joseph, who is a load, out of position time and again. Long also pulled well and made his blocks on the move. He is a much improved player.

In short, I believe our running game will be able to do what it needs to do against the Packers. Maybe we won't run wild but we'll get positive yardage and keep their defense honest.

100% agreed! Especially the bold statement!

I have a bad feeling about the game. I hope the Skins really are moving away from the 2000-2014 skins that got blown out on prime time on a regular basis. Tomorrow's game has the potential to be a season changer for good or bad. I will be nervous about it all bloody day.

I have hope that we will win the game but i'm nervous too. Any time a team is on a losing skid, or struggling really bad, they always play the redskins and then all of a sudden they look like All Pros again.

Again, i have hope, but like you say it could be really bad.

Lol...that's all I can do at this point. Have a lil faith folks

I'm absolutely shocked that fans would have a bad feeling coming into a game. :doh:

Well the Vikings fit that description and we beat them.

Intuitive fans recognize a trap game when they see one.

I think it was a fair article. The only comment about us that was different than the others listed as fairly better was that he added we were still are a team in transition. I don't think that is a bad thing, just an observation, and pretty much on the money. Scotty is still building and a lot of these stop gap guys on the defense won't be around 2 years from now. The ones that aren't really producing anyway. We are a wildcard team at best still and still need a few pieces on the defense to take the next step.

Um, I think you missed the point I was trying to make. What they said about the Redskins wasn't the issue. It was something that made our article stand out from all the others.

I expect Cravens to make an impact tonight.
