Skins-Jags Positives and Negatives

[Ruhskins]

The running game looked great and should be the focus of our offense. Kirk did beautifully, now I'm holding my breath and see how he does when a team actually gameplans against him. I want him to succeed, but I'd feel much better after seeing go through a whole game where he is the starter from the get go.

I feel bad for RG3, in the short time that he was in the game, he looked like 2012 RG3. That throw to DJax was beautiful, and it sucks to see him go out in such a freak accident. I think his time with the Redskins may be over, I wish there was a way for him to stay. I remember him joking about being a WR, when he went out in 2012 and Kirk played well. But this may be a Drew Bledsoe/Tom Brady type situation situation, with an unknown outcome of course.

The defense looked great, there were a few mistakes that need fixing. Hopefully the defensive coaches take notice of this. We still desperate need a good FS, a guy that can play the deep ball.

We can't have the same stupid mistakes against good teams; there were wayyy too many flags and penalty yards.

Finally, some people may say that the Jags stink and/or were very beat up with injuries. For two quarters, they were dominating the Eagles last week, which many people have already penciled for the playoffs. But, we're supposed to beat up on bad teams. We haven't done much of that in the past.

I'd be curious to see what the Iggles o-line looks like tomorrow, they lost one of their starters. I think the NFC East is up for grabs, the Giants suck, we always seem to play the Cowpukes well, and I think a lot of people are overhyping the Iggles.

You think this is the end of RG3's tenure here? Doesn't he have another year left after this one?

If Cousins comes out and does well overall... I dunno man. It's not even that RG3 has been sucking, but moreso, if Cousins gets the hot hand, do you go back to the starter when he's healed? We all know that RG3 gets the heeby jeebies and a major confidence blow after injuries.

I think you have to stick with Cousins if he is playing well. I like RG3 but I like winning more.

Also I don't know why but I can't shake the feeling of how Kirk Cousins reminds me so much of Brian Griese.

Felt like I was playing Madden today. 10 sacks is crazy.

Speaking of which ESPN really needs to change their quick stats for D-Lineman and 3-4 OLB's.


Does anyone seriously care more about Forced Fumbles and INT's with players like Ryan Kerrigan then they do sacks? At the very least there looks to be more than enough room to add a sack category.

Also in the offseason a lot of us rightfully focused on Desean Jackson, but Jason Hatcher looks to be the crown jewel of this latest free agent class.

See I would never know that because ESPN! won't put sack numbers in one of those 3 boxes at that top of a players profile!

If the D-Line can continue to play well, and we can tighten up the Safety position, the Defense should be OK. It is hard to tell because we have played two inept offenses the first two week.

What i like the most about today's game is we continued to run the ball, and the backups played well. We have lost out starting QB, TE, NT, and WR to injuries and our backups have played well.

Our 3rd string RB had 41 yards.

Silas Redd is no joke. I've never felt more comfortable about out RB corps, and even our WR corps.

This is the best depth at skill positions that the Skins have had in the free agent era. It is a sign of solid cap management when so many backups can come in and contribute. The one player on the team that i believe to be irreplaceable is Trent Williams.

I guess we can say the D was officially unleashed today.
