Developing the Killer Instinct - And How to Beat Dallas

Finishing somebody is all in your frame of mind though, and you can't just flip into that frame of mind in the 4th quarter. You need to practice with killer instinct, ride the team plane with a killer instinct, and play the first snap with a killer instinct.

I do think we have a chance against the Cowboys, and a formula that may work. I think the Cowboys' defense is soft. I just do. Roy Williams is pretty tough, but other than him, I think you can line up and if you bring the right team-wide attitude - ie I'm going to knock your effing teeth through your effing skull you blue-and-silver-wearing douchebag, and wipe that effing grin off your pretty-boy face you pansy ass excuse for a leader, attitude - then I think you can run run run and beat them into submission. This keeps the ball out of their hands, which we'll need to do because without Sean Taylor, Romo and TO and Witten are going to hurt us through the air plenty.

You just have to get mean. And I mean REALLY mean. If the Redskins want to talk about needing a killer instinct at the end of games, they better start by bringing a killer instinct at the beginning of the game. Making Dallas feel pain should be priority one, winning the game should be priority two. Not really, but I think you're smellin what I'm steppin in.

That's Dallas's only weakness. Romo can finesse it down the field real well. Their secondary can cover us pretty well. Ware can speed-rush his way to Campbell real well. Our only chance is to come out and take their spirit. There's only one way to overcome all these injuries... attitude.

You want a killer instinct, you better learn how to fight first.

Man, I like your attitude Schneed. Maybe you should give the half time locker room speech.

The problem is that our running game always seems to go bye-bye against the 'Chips.

Little known stat: Against NFC East teams since he joined the Redskins, Clinton Portis averages only 76 yards a game against the 'Chips, Eagles and G-strings. And he's been held to less than 70 yards 8 times out of 18 games.

If there was ever a time Portis needed to carry this team on his shoulders, it's this weekend, when just about everybody else is on crutches.

Schneed, I had the same idea when we played the patriots. I thought, if we come out and just beat the red, white and blue scheisse out of this pretty boy qb and his troupe of all star receivers, they'll fold. 52-7. I don't know if Williams is going to release the hounds this year, at all. I'd say defnitely not now, with CR and ST out. I do think that this game rests with the front four on defense. We need them to actually get some consistent pressure on Romo, knock him down, make him get careless with the ball, which I think can be done. But if we have to blitz to get pressure, it's probably going to take 45 points to outscore them.

Yeah, if you're going to get beat anyway because your secondary is banged up, might as well blitz like crazy and put the quarterback on his ass.

I wish this came out of Romo's mouth....

The only way to pull out a win in this game, given our injuries, is just playing nasty football. Balls to the wall, aggressive, play like you just don't care what happens football.

A fully healthy 2007 Redskins vs the Cowboys? Sure, I like our chances a lot. Damn competitive, I'd say. The currently depleted Redskins vs the Cowboys? I'm nervous.

Actually, it is.

Well, then Vaquerito, welcome aboard. And next time, instead of just saying "You're season is over" try telling us why it's over, i.e. Romo is a homosexual because he sleeps with other men, not just Romo is a homosexual. See, it's easy, and fun!
