Giants Postgame

I know I’m beating a dead horse, but it’s concerning that Alex Smith can’t or won’t throw anything but check downs, screens, and dump offs.

I know it’s been stated that Cousins did more with less talent, no running game, a horrible defense, a porous line, and an missing Jordan Reed, Josh Doctson, and Chris Thompson. Alex Smith has been handed the opposite and can’t perform. Smith is what’s holding back Gruden’s high powered passing attack; no one else.

Just throwing my vote into the hat that I also think Smith is trash.

Some interesting offensive stats. They only have through week 7. With the first chart Washington is above average to average in all categories. The second chart is a mixed bag but some positive areas. Pts/trip to red zone and avg. Lead when starting a drive are good.

For those interested in the AS vs KC debate Int/Dr are about the same. Minn has 27 more drives than Washington does though.

Nice stats, though I feel like the TOs/Dr is more relevant since KC fumbles as well as throws ints, and in that there is a significant difference.

More telling for the Skins though is the TOP, we are 2nd, and that goes to the Skins playing good consistent short offense, we are 15th for drive success rate, which is the definition of an average offense.

I like the burgandy pants and white jersey's best. Only wear the white pants and burgandy jersey's when they have to....

Norman on the team right now "we have some grown men in the trenches"

"Alex doesn't turn the ball over and hurt us on defense"

He does fumble more but since it was for the entire offense and not exclusively the QB I didn't want to reference that. I do feel that the offense is not as bad as it seems based on the stats.

As far as Alex Smith I think the most important stat is the fact the Redskins have had more points than the other team 5 times and less points than the other team only two times so far this year. I will take 200 yards passing and a win over 350 yards passing and a loss any time.

Tress Way on #RedskinsTalk pod: "Anytime you got Alex Smith on the field, you feel good about whatever we're gonna be doing. The dude's just gonna win the game."

The intangibles cant be understated...I've heard this multiple times about Alex...Cousins seemed to be more erratic and excitable, Smith calming confidence that seems to mesh better with the group.

Also on the other side of the ball, I've heard Mason Foster has the same type of effect....where Norman and Swearinger get every pumped on the D, in the front seven Foster is a calming, cerebral affect especially on long drives, pivotal situations.

Me too....I just wished the Redskins would wear the white jerseys with the burgundy pants at home like when Gibbs and Turner coached the team.
