Defense = Disappointment

[artmonkforhallofamein07]

Gtripp I completely agree. That is one thing that can make you a good QB and not just another guy.

new season, some new players, same OL' Skins.
5 wins MAX this year and one better b week 5.

[artmonkforhallofamein07]

Damn MC.. pretty down huh? We will definately win more than 5 bud. It was one game.

Redskins Defense no matter how good they are they will begging to slow down by week 6. If offense does not give them any time to rest!

sandtrapjack, we don't like haters around here. You'll see Fat Albert up and personal real soon when he blows up that O-line of yours.

The biggest disappointment from yesterday's defensive showing is this:

The Skins spent big time $$$ and draft picks on the defensive side of the ball in the off-season and what they got for that was what we saw last year.

With 9 minutes (approx) to play and trailing by 10, the Skins punted the ball to the Giants in Giants' terriroty. What they needed from the defense there was a "3-and-out". Get the ball back; get one score and the game is in reach with a field goal and a TD.

What did they get? They got a defense that let the Giants drive the ball for 6 minutes (approx) and kick another field goal. That meant they needed two TDs to win and had only about 3 and a half minutes to make that happen.

That same kind of play happened about three or four times last year. It is not a recipe for winning enough football games to make it ot the playoffs. I was expecting better this year.

Thanks for playing; what parting gifts do we have for our defense, Charles...?

My intention was not to hijack this thread, and I am not trying to smack talk. I am also not saying that AH was a bad investment. Is it too early to tell after one game? Of course!

All I said was he needs to step it up to be worth the money that was shelled out to him.

And personally am not worried about AH when he goes up against Gurode. We all know what happened last time Gurode and Haynesworth played against one another.

AH stomped on Gurodes face earning himself a 4 game suspension and Gurode 18 stiches. But even Haynesworth admitted that the reason he did it was he was "frustrated".

To translate, because Gurode owned him alll day during that game in Tennessee.

I very much doubt Gurode can handle him all by himself. I'd love to see 1-on-1 match up there. BTW, how many of Fat Albert's tackles from yesterday were for a loss?

Uh he already HAS handled him all by himself. The result....Haynesworth suspended.....Gurode Pro Bowl.

Round one goes to Gurode but that battle was 2006, this is 2009. In 2009 my money is on Fat Albert.

I think we ALL know who got "handled" in that matchup.

Dallas has a lot of very talented players, but IMO Gurode is not an elite center. For starters, he is God awful at getting Romo the ball when he's in shotgun. Last season alone I must have seen half a dozen balls snapped at Romo's face or over his head.

I was reading the post like who is this guy they are speaking of. Then I realized that the post were very vague and unintelligent. Then it dawned on me..Dallas fan. Scrolled down. There he was. LMAO

You know what would be a fun lineup to see in the DL? Alexander playing DE, Haynesworth and Montgomery in the middle and Carter in the other end spot. See if other teams can run up the middle when you got 350 and 330 lbs. walls standing in front of you and Alexander and Carter pressuring from the outside, might as well throw in Jarmon in the outside for fun too.

I would like to see Jarmon in the game a little bit more on passing downs. Him and Wilson are probably our best passrushers on that side of the line.
