Seahawks Redskins Rookie Showdown

[Gtothearry]

I can't believe how many prognosticators are so high on Seattle. This is just straight up disrespect! Honestly, it's as if no one is even giving us a shot.

I can't wait for the Skins to shock the world!

OK WHOS REALLY BETTER RG3 OR rw3 LETS COMPARE...

"I don't play against quarterbacks. It's not my job to compare us," Griffin told reporters this week. "You guys will do that. ... I hope you guys have fun."

OK, Robert, we'll take you up on that. Hey, Redskins Pro Bowl left tackle Trent Williams, why is your guy better than theirs?

"I definitely would take his hair over Russell Wilson's hair," Williams said...

I agree with this, but what is really weird is as they talk about Seattle, I am usually thinking ok but the Skins do that too. For example, Adam Schein yesterday was listing his reasons for Seattle and it was something like this:

• qb who is mature and protects the ball.
  great running back
  creative headcoach
  team on a hot streak

and I kept thinking so when are you going to saay something that describes only Seattle.
I think the numbers favor Seattle slightly, but they are skewed by a few games and Seattles homefield advantage. I think our strengths, varied run options, a good midrange passing game- primarily playaction, actually matchup very favorably against what the seahawks are built to stop.

This game may come down to the wire but I will be seriously stunned if the seahawks beat us.

I heard Schein's breakdown too and I was also wondering what from his list didn't also apply to the Skins.

It's almost like everyone forgot this week that we've won 7 straight, are playing at home, and have the #1 rushing offense in the league.

I think everyone that's been drooling all over Seattle is in for a bit of a surprise come Sunday evening.

ugh, people are just totally discounting our team (while playing up RG3 - if he was healthy). I hope the Skins show up huge.

But to Schein's breakdown, he almost always says he will take the better coach, the better qb. By that standard we win today, and I don't think it's close with regard to coaching.

Redskins prepared for Seattle’s talented special teams units

I'm pretty sure the only two players remaining from the last Redskins -Seattle playoff game is Santana Moss and Chris Cooley, no?

Fletch too. Moss and Cooley have been around for our last two playoff games against them, Fletch for the last one.

Some of it isnt that bad but that twitpic and shermans comments should be taken by ms and company.

I think this sort of stuff has minimal impact but we'll take whatever advantage we can get

Yeah this clip pretty much sums up our passing game and why it works so well.
