(Mega Merged Thread) Redskins-Dallas Game

Malcolm, I am with you, Dallas ran the Flea Flicker on KC and they burned us on it as well in Week 2. We have to watch out for that stuff again this week. We need something to shake up the Boys this week and a BIG HIT ON BLEDSOE!!! 2 TDs to Moss and a Partidge in a Pear Tree!!!

Joe Bugel said last night on Channel 4 that the boys will use a gadget play or 2 so they gotta be prepared.

I am concerned about this game because dallas (while not an elite team like indy) is a bonafide playoff contender (unlike Ariz & SF). I just cant stop thinking that the skins just dont score enough points to win and even if the defense hold the boys to 17 points the redskins offense wont even score that many. The skins need to prove to me they can score and handle the better teams in the nfl before I'll feel like the skins will win this one.


This is funny. Untill the KC game the Cowboy boards said exactly the same thing. Dallas had an offence that sucked and couldn't score, and a Defense that was good and had to get turnovers for the offence to score.

I have a feeling this game is going to be full of halfback passes and overall crazy plays.

I agree - especially considering Parcell's newfound love for the flea-flicker. Didn't Dallas burn KC for a TD on a flea-flicker? And didn't we get burned for a TD on the same play in the first game?

Maybe my memory is blurred and I just have nightmares of Jones turning to toss the ball back to Bledsoe, our entire secondary biting on it and then Glenn or Johnson wide open downfield...::shudder::

:dallas:

And if I remember correctly they burned us on a flea flicker or HB pass last year when we played them here.

Yeah..this guy talkin' trash got my ire up. 5rings, you are the exception to the rule and are always welcome due to the fact that you know how to chat with intelligence and class. This little punk just signed up here and made one post of nonsense and then skidaddled.
This game is gonna be a barn burner! The old days of the rivalry are back, baby!!! :dallas: :dallas: :dallas:

This game is the biggest of the year for both teams without a doubt.

If Washington wins, they own sole possesion of second in the NFC East because they own the tie-breaker over Dallas. Also it puts them is position for the NFC Wild Card because of that tie-breaker. Dallas cannot afford to loose this week. This is even a bigger game than the KC game.

However if Washington looses, then that puts them 2 games out of the wild card race with 2 games to play, and even if they win out against New York and Philly, they would still need help from other teams to have a prayer at the post season. Tampa, Atlanta and Carolina would have to loose thier final two games for WAshington to have a chance at the Wild-Card.

Both teams play-off aspirations will be at stake. The winner has a legitimate shot at the Wild-Card, while the loser will most likely watch the play-offs on TV like the rest of us.

My concern is the matchup on the left side. In week 2 Dallas had a Pro-Bowl Tackle there with Flozell Adams. Adams went down Oct 16th and is out for the season. Torrin Tucker is starting at LT and he is not near as good as Adams.

Greg Williams is really good at disguising biltz packages and I think that Tucker may get burned.

When these 2 defensive coordinators square off, there is not a lot of scoring. GOnna be a nail biter. The game will be decided in the 4th quarter, and with the depth that Dallas has on the defensive front, it gives them the edge because of thier ability to rotate defenders and keep players rested for the later quarters. This will be the deciding factor.

CRT3...WAZZUP? Just thought I would drop by for a spell.

Although keying on Portis and Moss sounds like the thing to do for the Dallas defense, we will have to see how that pans out.

I think the key to this game is not Portis, or Julius Jones or Moss. I think the player to watch this weekend is Keyshawn Johnson.

With the Redskin secondary being dinged up, Greg Williams will devise a series of blitz packages to bring the heat to Beldsoe. With consistent pressure from the front 7, that will force early releases and errant throws, and that will make even a mediocre DB look good.

In week 2 we had Flozell Adams at LT. He went down for the season in October, and Torrin Tucker is starting at LT. Williams will try and exploit this, and he will try and exploit the rookie RT, Rob Pettiti. So I expect the Redskins to blitz for most of the game to force early throws and get Bledose out of rythm. I think Witten will be kept in the backfield to help block most of the day and he won't get many touches.

But, with an injured secondary, Bledsoe will look to quick slants to Keyshawn to move the chains. That is Johnsons bread and butter, and what he does best. And with back-up DB's covering a seasoned Keyshawn, that could hurt the Redskins all day long. A quick slant to Keyshawn to beat the blitz will cause the Redskins defense to back off a bit and rely on the front 4 to put pressure on Bledsoe. And if that happens, then MBII and JJ get in the act and Witten too.

What has Taylor Jacobs ever shown any of us to make us think this is the game he will "step up"? The guy is a bust. Put in Antonio Brown running a fly pattern everytime and wear out their DBs.

We all know that the Cards and the Rams were bad teams, but I have been excited by Portis's running the pass couple of games. If we can keep that up and maybe win the turnover battle (something we have not done all year, don't hope for it) The Skins can win a close game. I kind of think Dallas has a little more talent than our beloved Skins right now, but Bledsoe fumbles just like Brunell, so maybe we will get to him this time.

Portis has run well the past couple of games like you said, but that was against the Cardinals and the Rams. Arizona is #18 against the run and gives up an average of 113 ypg and St Louis is way down at #30 surrendering an abysmal 136 ypg. So running on those two defenses is not that hard to do.

LJ rang up 143 against Dallas last weekend, and that dropped the Cowboys to #13 against the run. This is a guy that averaged over 135 per game for the past 4 or 5 games too. Says a lot about the KC O-Line, which is far superior to either Dallas or Washington.
