Re: The Sam Howell Thread

Howell is not the problem with this team. I expect him to be the starter next year with a new coaching staff. Throwing for nearly 400 v. Philly is no joke.

Some people still think he sucks. He’s proven that with the line protecting him and if EB ever decides to run the fucking ball more, that he will thrive. In only 9 games he’s exceeding expectations.

Says it all. The INT was a turning point, but maybe if the D had done its job, it wouldn't have been so critical. Just shy of 400 yds and 4 TDs is the kind of production you want to see (though preferably not off 52 att's). Can't help thinking it's 2 steps forward, 1 back with SH, but after 9 regular season games i can live with that as long as he maintains progress. Imagine what he'd be able to achieve with a good coaching staff and a functioning D.

Great game from SH, still need to see a full season from him to know if he is someone we can tie our wagon too or do we need to still have an eye on the QB spot

Re: The Sam Howell Thread

Sam was really impressive yesterday, really impressive. EB called a good game too. I'd love to see a little more run/pass balance but EB just doesn't seem to care much about running.

That loss was clearly on the defense.

The loss was not clearly on the defense - it was on the coaches and 100% on the coaches. The coaching staff gifted the Eagles two TDs. The Redskins almost certainly would have gone into halftime ahead 17-3 if the coaches didn't call or allow (Ron) the worst play call in the NFL this season. And if Ron would have challenged (any other coach would have in that situation) that 4th down pass by the Eagles that is another TD taken away from the bad guys.

Bottom line is 38 points on the board, can't win a lot of games like that.

The defense has been a massive flop all year.

Do we have good players and a terrible DC?

Or bad and overrated players and a terrible DC?

Defense was supposed to be the strength of the team, it clearly is not. We don't really have a strength.

Probably a mix of overrated players and an overrated DC

Either way, it's a seriously underperforming unit for whatever reason

Re: The Sam Howell Thread

All this nonsense in the offseason about EB being the savior, he's out next HC, blah blah. Fuck that guy. No way I want him leading this offense another year.

Like I’ve been saying…EB no more empty sets.

You should never limit the run option on 3rd/4th and short. Give the QB two plays and put him under center.
