Washington Redskins vs Detroit Lions Pregame Thread

[budw38]

Maybe , just maybe .... having our best DL ( Cofield ) playing with one arm , along with JJ and AC out has a lot to do with the Defense having some big problems ? Staring 2 Rookie DB's and a QB missing most / all of OTA's , M. camp and Training camp is part of the reason for the poor start ? Just my 2 cents , we need a pro bowl caliber CB and for Rambo to progress along with another top OL to be championship caliber team .

There has been way too much talk of "leadership" surrounding RGIII. I comnpletely agree with what Shanny said in this quote:

"What people have to do, you can't worry about other people, you worry about yourself," Shanahan said. "Once you play the perfect game, then you can start to worry about other people. That's what I tell everybody, whether you're an offensive lineman or quarterback or tight end. You have to concentrate on your job. If everyone concentrates on their job and they do it perfectly, then you have a chance for good things to happen."

Each and and every player who steps on the field can be a team leader based entirely on what he does when he is on the field.

After the first two games, it is apparent that every single Redskins player needs to step up his game to get a win this week. I think they'll do it.

Redskins 31, Detroit 20

Isnt this what Patriots coach Belicheck always says... "Do your Job!" It looks like everyone else is waiting for someone to make a play except Kerrigan. He is the only guy making plays on defense, always has, and always will.

I think it's because of the history of the Lions never winning in DC, and the Skins being a playoff team last year. That means nothing on Sunday, but I think that's why Detroit is getting 2. The line should be Detriot by 3. If I could bet against the Skins I'd load up on Detroit.

I think the Redskins will win this one, but the defense will struggle again. Suh is going to be a nightmare for Chris Chester to handle one on one, but I think our play action passing game will create both space for RG3 to throw, and lanes for him to throw into. Stafford will have a bad pick that bails our defense out.

Then we'll lose at the end.




Is Kai Forbath coming back? We're going to miss him while he's out.

So I hear that Brandon Merriweather is practicing today? Really? after being knocked out? How does that work?

Kinda early. No word on if he's going to be playing his 30 seconds this week.

I told you Morris was rusty and needed more preseason work. Just saying it this way cuz of the way some people on here were dismissing it.
