Bengals @ Redskins: Lets Break it Down

[aircoryell]

This game will be determined by the Redskins ability to stop the Bengals Wide Receivers, oddly enough, I'm not too concerned about AJ Green. If I'm calling the defensive plays I'm leaving Cedric Griffin out on AJ Green all day. I like Cedric's size and he plays the ball well when it's in the air. I'm more concerned about Andrew Hawkins and Brendan Tate. Smaller speedy receivers seem to be our achilles heel.
We also need to send extra pressure on first down when the Bengals love to go play action. The Bengals are going to move the ball, I think they will be successful between the 20's, but I believe we can stop them and hold them to field goals in the redzone.

***Mark it here. BJGE will have his first fumble for a turnover this game***

Final: Skins 28 - Bengals 16

Pierre Garcon declined to speak about his injured foot. He's unlikely to play on Sunday against the #Bengals.

Tbats prolly just Shanny telling him to not talk about it. Hes been doing that for years

I suspect he's holding out for more money.

...in all seriousness why aren't they telling us what the deal is here? Brought him in as a #1 and he's played all of 1 quarter.

Quick hits: Pierre Garcon likely out again

Anyone else concerned with our training, strength and conditioning staffs? Just quickly off the top of my head:
-Jammal Brown dealing with a variation of the same injury for 3 years
-Laron Landry dealing with his issues for 2 + years
-Brian Orakpo suffering the same injury (twice!) that he supposedly was recovered from
-Kory Liechtenstieger having surgery 3 days into camp on his repaired knee
-Jarvis Jenkins not having his explosion or power back 14 months after his injury..

That's all that jump to mind but I think there are others. Either it's a strange series of coincidences that our players don't get or stay healthy or something is amiss with our medical and training staff.

It was sarcasm, I want Garcon healthy.

landry opted to go a different route tho, that particular case is on him...

[aircoryell]

No one should be surprised Shanny is saying nothing on Garcon. The guy is notorious for running football squads under a veil of secrecy.
My observation was that Garcon originally hurt his foot early in the game on a screen play on the first drive. He sat out a couple of plays before reentering on the next drive. His foot was already hurt on the long td catch and seemed to reagrivate it on that same play.

Don't worry. The Skins will tell us more about the nature of his injury when they announce that he's scheduled to have surgery on his foot.

Pierre Garcon ‘Doubtful’ To Play In Home Opener Sunday Against Cincinnati - Redskins Journal

I hope Hankerson makes something of this opportunity.

[REDSKINS4ever]

If the Redskins are to win this game against Cincinnati, then they most control the time of possession and try to keep the opposing offense off the field much like they did against the NO Saints. Defensively, the Redskins have to get excellent pressure on Andy Dalton and the secondary must man up on those Bengals receivers.

Look around the league. Injuries happen to every team. It's football.

Garcon not playing again is bugging me, but nothing we can do. I've heard rumors that Hankerson won the starting role over Robinson from his pass blocking skills and big game last week. I'm excited to see him come out and excel.
