Re: Skins vs. Cards Positives + Negatives
 

It's the defense, the offense, Special Teams, poor players, poor play calling, lack of turnovers, a weak offensive line, poor QB play, lack of adjustments, failure to convert third downs, a rookie HC, weak coordinators, poor drafting, plain old choking, lack of vitamin D, and lastly injuries. The truth is we suck at just about everything!

There are no micro solutions to each of these problems that will add up to fixing the whole organization. Fixing an entire organization requires strong leadership. Do we have the right leaders in place, or not? That is the overriding question. We'll find out soon enough.

This is what bothers me. We have become a "good Ole boy" team.
We need to hire the best person for the job not payback favors.

What does Doug Williams do exactly?

Sean McVay is the grandson of John McVay one time 49er GM during the 80's responsible for drafting and acquiring Steve Young, Rice, Lott, Haley, Craig, etc.

Re: Skins vs. Cards Positives + Negatives
 

There is plenty to dislike about Haslett. I am not giving him a pass.

But to be fair, since DHall went down we don't have anyone who can really stick to #1 receivers. This is a really hard problem to scheme around.

The defense played well until DHall went down and then hasn't played all that well since.

While it may be a hard problem to scheme around, name me the top shutdown corners in Dallas and Philly. They don't have them, they adapt their scheme to their talent. You spent a 2nd round pick on Amerson to make him a top corner, put him in position to do so. Breeland is developing, put him in positions to succeed.

While DHall being out hurts the defense, it shouldn't cripple the other 10 players remaining. Haslett's defensive calls are pretty bad and have been forever.

I think our ineffective offense is crippling the defense more than DHall's injury. We are at the bottom of the league in 3rd down conversion percentage; it's funny that you mentioned Dallas, they are first in the league in 3rd down conversion.

That doesn't even seem possible since we have Alfmo and a bunch of good receivers (heavy sigh).

He needs to take what Tony Peters did to our offense last week and apply it to his defense. Do not ask Biggers, Breeland, Riley and the two slowest safety's in the NFL to cover for a long period of time. He needs to start all out blitzing a lot more, make the QB get rid of the ball quicker and ask them to tackle. Obviously asking them to cover with a 4-5 man rushes won't work. It's proven it won't work.

Re: Skins vs. Cards Positives + Negatives
 

So much wrong with this thread. We dont need to blow everything up but since day 1 its been about how far this offensive line will take us. We are seeing it now....

Really need to upgrade the whole right side.

Re: Skins vs. Cards Positives + Negatives
 

the problem on D is pretty straight forward imo. we are idiots.

we heavily invested in pass rush at the expense of the secondary. we went all in on the pass rush banking on the fact that it would cover up our secondary deficiencies.

sans the jags game, every QB has posted a QBR above 100 on us and I dont think offensive coordinators are having much trouble dissecting haslett's schemes and tendencies.

$21.6 mil = avg NFL team salary for DL
$26.5 = redskins salary

$15 mil = avg NFL team salary for LB
$23 = redskins salary

$12.3 mil = nfl avg for corners
$7.8 = redskins corners (highest cap hit is tracy porter at 2.8)

$8.2 mil = nfl avg for safeties
$3.7 = redskins (highest merriweather at 1)

Re: Skins vs. Cards Positives + Negatives
 

Something I find interesting is that our offense's average starting field position is on pace statistically to be the worst in the history of the NFL. Fact.

Re: Skins vs. Cards Positives + Negatives
 

Alfred Morris is not running the ball enough....that's a large negative......he's just averaging 4.0 yards a carry......there's not enough talent along the o line.

What about off the field in the FO, would you consider a blow up there? I would be in favor of something done

I know httr24-7 on twitter said something along the lines of suggestions being made by Gruden have been over ruled by folks in upper management.

Thats a problem

i have to respectfully disagree my friend.

since day 1 it should have been about the O line (and FS imo)

but instead and in reality imo ...

since day 1 this team was built to win 43-41 by being aggressive on both sides of the ball.

on offense it was going to be 3 or 4 wide sets, using d jax to dictate coverage and open the middle and underneath for garcon and reed. pick your poison.

on defense, haslett was supposed to unleash the hounds and get after the QB by blitzing from all angles. we didnt need shut down corners, we only needed guys to be able to bump at the line and then play man for 3 seconds or less.
