Thumbs Up Thumbs Down

redsk1 · 11-22-2009, 06:15 PM

Thumbs up: Rock Cartwright is a pretty good all around player. I've always thought he'd be pretty good behind an ok line. I even thought he's Betts equal, if not a little better. Great game.

Defense played a great game.

Down: Suisham.

I still can't figure out how we lost this one. What the hell?

Yeah, he's looking good. With Rock probably the "feature" back now, Thomas most likely becomes the primary KR. He looks good doing it, too. He has good speed and runs hard. He's a threat to score at KR, which really isn't something the Skins have had since Ladell Betts manned the position.

His goal this week in practice should be to show ARE how to break arm tackles.

Thumbs Up: Almost forgot. I think JC. He seemed to make alot of plays. However we only scored 6 pts. I'm confused.

Thumbs up for playing without:

Samuels
Thomas
Rinehart (most of the game)
Portis
Betts
Haynesworth
Horton
Cooley

And still almost beating the Cowboys in their home, Suisham makes those 2 field goals and we win.

I like what I'm seeing for next year, the less the stars are on the field the better this team plays, coincidence?

Don't be. That's JC.

2 Thumbs down = Suisham. MAKE 1 of 2 and we win.
Thumbs up = the DEFENSE, yeah Rocky dropped a int that could have been a td but for 3 1/2 qtrs they held the girls in check.

We should have won. but i do feel good about the offense going forward. DT,MK and FD are starting to show up.

Thumbs up: Jerry Jones & Dan Snyder have the best performing teams on the financial spreadsheet.
Thumbs Down: Their teams do not perform on the field. Where it matters most. That was some painfully bad football to watch today. That was like watching women's basketball.

Oh please. The guy makes 14 of 16 this year and now he's a joke?

I've said in another thread (and it looks like I'll be saying it a lot more), but when you have to depend on your kicker to win games, it's the team that's truly the joke.

Bullsh*t. How about the offense getting the ball in the goddamn endzone. Make a touchdown and we win. How about that?

i totally agree, he missed a 50 yarder on one of the misses. the other was a makeable but was iced with the delay in the game. we should have taken a chance for the endzone on 3rd and 6 before kicking it.

Yeah, Orakpo said that they had some exotic blitzes dialed up and would be taking advantage of that, corner blitzes, etc... I didn't see that, but at least our coverage was mostly solid other than the single drive where they were passing it all over us.

I don't think that we've seen enough of him before to be able to say that he didn't "have it" before. They're just utilizing him properly now. Nobody ever mentioned bad hands or goes down easy, the only thing really was some minor rumblings about not completely familiar with playbook. Same thing said for Davis... okay, so you give it to them on what they DO know.. and it's done pretty well for us.
