Cowboys at Redskins Post Game Thread

[CultBrennan59]

A couple things I liked about our game yesterday:

Kai missing a field goal. Rather have him miss now, than in the playoffs. He was riding that streak of being too good. Expectations go high and a miss amounts to more pressure and hatred and can ultimately kill a kickers career.

DHall. I bash this guy all year, all the time. I still think he needs to go after the season. But I give him credit. He played great yesterday shutting down arguably the best WR right now in the NFL.

Perry Riley's last second hit. That got me out of my chair. He's a stud in the making and the heir to Fletcher when he ultimately retires.

Hasletts game plan. A gap blitz all game. And it worked all game.

Alfred Morris running determined.


What I didn't like:

RG3 running. He is definitely NOT healthy. A knee brace isn't supposed to make you look like Peyton Manning running. Hopefully he gets healthier for Seattle, because Chris Clemons (remember him?!) and Bruce Irvin (runs a 4.4), can and WILL get to RG3 at his current speed. I'm not complaining about having RG3 run the ball, I'm just more so upset that he isn't healed yet (thought this was a 2-3 week injury)

The offense not clicking early on. We forced two Romo INTs and still didn't get a single point off of turnovers. If we want to win in the playoffs, we got to get points.

Rob Jackson playing his way off the redskins. His play of recent has been great. Maybe too great. He is a Free Agent after the year and he is currently showing that he is more than a backup on this team. Orakpo is a better pass rusher, but Jackson is a smart player who is better in coverage. He just recently had a kid and is just now coming along as a starting caliber OLB on our team. He has the leverage right now in contract situations. He is young too. I could easily see him leaving us for more money and starting a new somewhere else come next offseason. Other option is trading Orakpo. But at OLB its about who gets more pressure and more sacks, and we know how much better this team can be with Orakpo in terms of getting to the QB than with Rob Jackson whom keep in mind just started coming along the past 4-5 games. Big decisions will have to be made come the offseason with one of the two players, and I have a feeling it'll be Jackson who will be to much to resign for us and playing somewhere else next year.
