Redskins @ Pats Post Game

I think we have a tons of reasons to be excited! What do you guys think?

Positives:

Defense: We got ourselves some high quality secondary depth. Stroman played great, Nicholson was back in great shape, Apke showed tremendous potential... heck every DB that came in seemed to play really well! Vigil and Spaight were on fire, Hamilton looked good, so nice competition there! I feel like Ryan Anderson played with way better intensity than last season.

Offense: Guice, obviously. We got some incredible competition at WR: Harris seems to be a lock, Davis made a case for himself, Sims made some nice plays. The FB Elijah Wellman showed some potential. Colt is a quality back up.

Overall the guys looked prepared and hungry, our 2nd and 3rd stringers did great against a lot of Pats starters!

Negatives:

Defense: A part from Ioannidis and Lanier, wasn't impressed by our DL play. Settle has a tendency to stop his feet and gets driven back way too much for a NT. He managed to make a couple of plays in the second half.

Offense: Geron Christian was lost out there. A part from Nsekhe we have a REAL depth issue at OL... Scary.

Sounds like Guice and Ioannidis will be fine but just waiting on those MRIs to finally exhale

yeah mike Phillips, Richmond times SKins beat reporter said last night in the lockerroom both of them were walking around and seemed good. matty I doesn't need an mri....he's good. Quinn is fine.

I thought Guice looked the part...really excited by his performance.

anybody else love a real fullback? I thought that kid was solid.

Settle, stroman, danny Johnson, mo harris and rob davis...big standouts.

That's good about Matty I, now he can get back to practicing his flossing

Perine fumble looks bad...Byron marshall very good

Agreed, he had a holding call but he looked good. Decent hands too.

his bull rush is so dangerous...him, payne, and allen...finally a great dline

quiet baller...Sprinkle tight end...couple catches and saw him standing up a dline man on a run block

So... I'm one to stand corrected when I'm proven wrong... And I'm no line play expert. But... I re-watched all our defensive snaps, with my eyes only on #97 Tim Settle... I really don't know what I'm missing that you guys see.

1st half: absolute non factor, driven back and thrown to the ground by the 1st. Only couple of plays were he got a little bit of push were against #74 Cole Croston... 3rd string tackle playing guard. Comes out way too high, doesn't move his feet enough.

2nd half: against 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th stringers. Driven back by #66 3rd string center in the beginning of the 3rd QTR. Then began to lower his body and made one nice play against that same 3rd string #66 James Ferentz. He also pushed a 5th string rookie TE #85 a few yards back. Got taken completely out of a play by #72 Luke Bowanko, 4th string center. He split one double team (#72 and #74...). He batted a ball late in the game, against #66, he didn't have a real push though.

So, he made one real legit play against a 3rd string center, recovered a lucky fumble and batted a ball late in the 4th... Other than that: absolute non factor.
Really don't see what I'm missing.

Fingers crossed on Matt I and DG, we need those guys!!!
