Sure, the offseason after year 1 should have been great for his development and, instead, he was rehabbing. However, those aren't games, so saying he's missed significant time twice is unfair. He HAS sustained 2 major injuries in his 3 years, however, and honestly, most of the rest of this post is arguing semantics, but I really think saying "he's missed significant time twice in 3 years" as though he's missed a bunch of starts is incorrect. He's only missing significant time now.
And not because of a careless or wreckless mistake either.

Once Wilson starts getting hurt, you guys will see they're mirror images of each other.

Horse shit. There is a night and day difference. You will never see Wislon get hit like a pinball as he is going out of bounds. You will never see him slide late. Unlike RG3 he actually avoids getting hit because he can diagnose when there aren't any more yards to be hand and he is masterful at throwing the ball away.


Check the stats, one hasn't missed a game and the other is on the sidelines. It's not luck, it's better football IQ.

Re: Skins vs Seasquawks Positive and Negatives

Positives are Kirk looked better,made some great throws and had some drops
Negatives are too many to list
Haz seems to be catching a lot of hell and I am not a fan,but when all your drives start inside the 20 and most of them are 3 and out and the opponent is starting all their drives on the 40 yard line,well your defense is not going to look good.
I havent heard it brought up about the chop block put on Orakpo that made him leave the game.He's lucky that didnt end his season.Looked like the exact same block that the bronco's did to the Cardinal player to knock him out for the year

I like how the thread title doesn't plural (pluralize?) Positive, but does Negatives

Re: Skins vs Seasquawks Positive and Negatives

As bad as Polumbus has been (and he wasn't great yesterday, although I've seen worse from him), Moses was a statue. On the first pass blocking play, I don't think he even raised his hands up to engage in a block - the D lineman just ran right past him. That was flat out scary -- I thought Cousins was going to be knocked into next week. How is that possible?

Overall, the time they provided Cousins was sufficient to crete some opportunities. He wasn't getting knocked around all day, and few of his throws seemd rushed. The run blocking was apalling (talking to you Niles Paul -- did the concussion cause you to forget how to block, bro?), although, again, going down 17-0 the Redskins understandably felt that they had to get away from the run game at least a bit.

Special teams? Sigh. Was anyone else screaming at the TV that the Seahawks were going to fake the punt? And why would't they with the way our ST unit has played? They had less than a yard and they weren't all that scared of our offense even had it backfired. And it's exactly the kind of thing Peter Carroll does.

Positive - We didn't get blown out.

Negatives - Everything else?

Re: Skins vs Seasquawks Positive and Negatives

"—The postgame locker room atmosphere was not exactly festive but in the opinion of many in the media there was too much laughter and joking around going on among players for a team that just lost to fall to 1-4. You don’t necessarily want the atmosphere to be funeral-like after a loss but it should be a bit more somber than it was. "

from Tandler article...thats a problem in my opinion.

Id like to see reporters ask Gruden about it today in the presser, but the Vets on the team should be handling that as well.

Re: Skins vs Seasquawks Positive and Negatives

Positive:
  • Our punter. Tress Way average 49.9 yards per punt. Incredible.
  • Kirk Cousins play in the second half. He started out slow in the first half, but seemed to get more aggressive as the game went on.
  • Defensive adjustment in 2nd half.
  • Kerrigan's pressure on Russell Wilson.
  • Only 3 penalties the whole game.

Negatives:
  • Special teams punt coverage (11.8 return average)
  • kickoffs are still abysmal and led to good field position for Seattle.
  • Defense in first half. What the fuck were these clowns doing for 10 days?
  • Kerrigan and Orakpo over pursuing on their rushes to allow Wilson free reign to run. Kerrigan cleaned it up in 2nd half, but Orakpo still fell for it.
  • Drops from guys in key situations.
  • 3-12 on third down conversions.
  • Alfred Morris fumbling yet again and not effective last night.
  • OL being dominated at the point of attack.

Not sure I should really put down "defensive adjustment in 2nd half" as a positive. Truth is, had Seattle not have shot themselves in the foot for most of the 1st half, this game wouldn't have even been remotely close. Twenty one points taken off the board due to stupid mental errors by Seattle. In fact, I'd say they were a bigger value to us than our defense. Not sure how you can neglect Russell Wilson as a runner. I mean for fucks sake, you allowed him damn near 100 yards rushing in the first half. It's too late to wait till the 2nd half for an adjustment because that game should have realistically been over at the half. Stopping Russell Wilson should have been in the game plan.

Mistakes are part of the game. Seattle is lucky their defense kept our offense very limited, otherwise we have a different ball game. Good teams capitalize on those mistakes, bad teams don't period.

Two of those Harvin touchdowns came on the same drive, and they ended up with a FG. The other drive with a called-back touchdown eventually resulted in a touchdown anyway. Not sure how to look at that...

That's a huge problem. It doesn't matter who plays QB, CB, or any other position if folks don't give a crap about losing.

I look at it as Seattle being unable to score at will on our D. To be clear, they are undoubtedly the better team across the board. But they're not invincible, and saying that the TDs that were called back means that we got lucky doesn't make sense to me. It wasn't as though any of them were bad calls that went our way, to my recollection.

Having said that, our inability to control the ball and run gave Seattle WAY too many chances -- such that they could squander several of them and still put up 27 points on us. And that isn't good.

They need to kick out half the roster, but Snyder isn't gonna let them. He makes too much money off the team, team may be terrible long as he owns them.
