[quote=saden1;733834]He waisted all the passes on Sellers. It really is time to cut Mike Sellers. He can't run block, he can't pass block, and he can't catch the f'ing ball. Worthless.[/quote]

I've never quite understood how he even made the team.

Re: It's F'ing Houston week!
 

[quote=skinsfaninok;733706]I think our offense will play much better this Sunday, in fact it wouldn't shock me if we led in TOP. Texans have a good Pass Rush but their overall D is nothing like Dallas. Houstons secondary is very avg. I also say our D plays at a high level once again, those guys will be fired up to shut down another good Offense..


23-17 redskins[/quote]

I'm most inetersted in the matchup between Trent Williams vs. Mario Williams we are really throwing him into the fire quick. I LOVE IT. You only get better by playing the best competition. He's got back to back weeks of two of the best. Let's hope he does just as good as last week. succeeding only one sack as a rook vs. d ware is pretty top notch I don't care what you say.

Re: It's F'ing Houston week!
 

[quote=Mattyk;733694]Probably just their week one gameplan more than anything, play smashmouth and keep the ball out of Manning's hands. No doubt they want to run, but I doubt they keep up that run to pass ratio all season.[/quote]

Possibly, but I heard on 980am yesterday that their staff did say they were looking to be more balanced this year as far as run/pass, with the intention of running out leads to close games, etc.

To me that was one of the biggest stories of the game. Chris Samuels told someone to watch Williams and said Williams will be a better then him.

Of course they want to be more balanced, but Schaub isn't going to be throwing 17 times per game on a regular basis.

Houston will have a simple game plan.

Run it up the gut right at the NT.

And that is why this will be a much bigger test defensively. The Texans showed they are not afraid to run it at you if you are trying to slow the passing game. Run contain will be key and pressure from the blitz packages a must.

The best defense we could have would be a strong running game of our own. Indianapolis is not as balanced as they were in past seasons finishing at the bottom in rushing last year. If we could give them a taste of their own medicine, we should have no problem staying in the game.

I definitely don't miss watching games online.. but it sure beat not catching them at all.

Good question. Well, my dad is a vikings fan and did his best to try and have me go that route. Not sure why it never took, but I am glad I don't have to through that pain every year. I remember first seeing them as a little kid with Mark Rypien and thinking, "these guys have cool uniforms and colors" (another subject that has been discussed around here) so I started to follow them and I guess that is how it all started. I have only seen them twice in person, both times against the Vikes (first time in 98'....wasn't good, and in 2007 a little bit better) and they are hardly ever on tv around here unless they are SNF or MNF....or playing the Cowboys. But for some reason I stuck with em and here we are today.

I thought with Dish Network you could pay for local channels from anywhere in the country?

Re: It's F'ing Houston week!
 

I could easily see Houston beating us...
I could also easily see Houston choking big time, still celebrating their Indy win...

Not sure about that. I know I get the one comcast channel from there, I don't know what local station it would be on. I am able to get fox sports network and comcast from other markets, but it usually blacks out professional sporting events. I can get baseball games that are close to my market, but since all NFL games are on FOX and CBS affiliates I only get my local games. Aside from what they show on the Redzone. Perhaps that is something to check into.

This is a good test for both teams. Skins to see if the offense can get on track and Houston to see if they can have the same success on the ground against a tougher defense.

Also, anyone know if the Skins have any plans of using more two TE sets? All this hoopla about the receiving corps has me wondering why we didn't see more of Cooley and Davis on the field at the same time.

Re: It's F'ing Houston week!
 

We have a massive advantage in this game.

The two teams are very familiar with the offense that the other side runs because in many ways it's the same scheme from the same tree.

On defense we are still largely an unknown.

The Texans defense on the other hand is very well known by the man that runs our offense. It just can't hide from Kyle Shanahan as he knows it too well.

I expect a strong performance from the offense this week.

Re: It's F'ing Houston week!
 

Our run D needs to step it up from the Dallas game for us to pull this one out. If this Foster kid is the real deal, he is going to get a 100 yard+ day on us. Even so, we can win as long as Kyle gets our offense clicking. Our D is pretty tight, but like somone said in the game 1 thread it is like a bend but don't break look so far. Bend but don't break defenses are fine as long as they create turnovers.

He's been jogging and doing some light work but not position drills. He says that he's moving fine laterally which is obviously the most important line to cross. He hasn't been ruled out of the game yet and said he hopes coaches don't so that yet. Says he's definitely ahead of schedule.

Re: It's F'ing Houston week!
 

[quote=aceinthehouse;733680]Well,we were able to shut down and take Witten out of the game against Dallas...

I'm thinking they will target a key player and do the same...Andre Johnson will probably get his catches regardless,much like Austin. But if we can keep him from hurting us deep,I think we can manage that...

Owen Daniels is a darn good TE and we will need to keep him in check like we did Witten.

But to win,I think we need to keep their Running game in check and put lots of pressure on Schaub and try to force turnovers with our aggressive Defense.

If we can cause fumbles and get a pick or 2,we can win the game.
I think Schaub can be rattled...and we need to find a way to do it![/quote]

Owen Daniels is not even up to full speed yet, he's been hurt.

He'll be a nonfactor.

Arian Foster scares me though.

Nope, just tried to do it since the Eagles/Lions game is on in my area.

You can add Superstations from anywhere a la carte...have a couple of NY and Chicago stations so the wife and I can watch her Yankees and my White Sox games...but you can't do it with local network affiliates, just tried to add WUSA so I could watch the Skins game without looking for a stream.

I think both teams could be in for letdowns coming off huge division wins. The Kyle Shanahan connection could play in our favor, but we need to get the offense cranking to keep up with Houston's high powered attack. Unlike Dallas who was all hype, Houston actually delivered week 1.[/quote]

Any given Sunday... right? I keep hoping that the reason we didn't do so well was because Dallas does have a top ranked defense and hoping that Dallas does have a top ranked offense that we were able to shut down. With that said Houston does not "supposedly" have as high a ranked offense or defense as Dallas so "hopefully" we will be able to move the ball better and score more easily. Plus keeping their offense to minimal gains and scores. If Dallas was all fluff then we might be screwed against Houston.

I also wonder how much of the scheme the team didn't use knowing we would be playing against a team with a similar offense style/scheme. I keep wondering if the coach's possibly tried to limit what they did in the Dallas game so Houston would not have a lot of game film to watch and plan around. Why do I ask? it just didn't look like the team was running a whole lot of different plays. It would be really interesting if the team came out and used a bunch of plays they didn't use last week just so Houston wouldn't know which route the WR's would be running and where to expect the ball to be thrown to.

I just don't think M.Shanahan wants to be beat by his protege, and K.Shanahan does not want to be beat by his very own system. I hope they have a really good game plan set up to throw Houston off and help our defense.

I just don't think the Colts are as good as they have been in the past. I see them on the decline just like I see Dallas and the Giants. Yes the Colts can score pretty quickly but I think they can be scored on pretty easily also. Houston had a field day with the Colts and perhaps Houston's defense is better then the Colts.

Re: It's F'ing Houston week!
 

V-Jax, had his suspension reduced to 4 games. Anyone here about the skins going after him?

Re: It's F'ing Houston week!
 

He's only eligible to play in Week 5 IF traded by next Wednesday, 09/22.

If he stays with SD, not eligible until Week 7 but he won't play for them again. This was part of a settlement deal cut to try getting a trade done quicker and ending his holdout.

Vikings should get him, they need WR help with the losses of Sidney Rice and Marko Mitchell. Wait, what?

Re: It's F'ing Houston week!
 

[quote=apiatt;734322]V-Jax, had his suspension reduced to 4 games. Anyone here about the skins going after him?[/quote]

I'm all for going and getting him I'm just not sure of a few things...

1- Will the Chargers lower their asking price?
2- Do we have what the Chargers want in trade?
3- Will the team go and get him?

Lately I just get the feeling the coaching staff is simply saying this is our team. Win, Lose, or draw these are the players we are using, and they will not go after anyone else.

[quote=Lotus;734346]You haven't been around long so you could not know that you just opened Pandora's box.[/quote]

I suppose so. Realistically, I don't think the skins will want anything to do with the asking price. I think Jackson will be Minnesota bound before the deadline. I was just curious if anyone had heard any buzz about the skins going after him. WR isn't exactly the deepest or most talented position in washington.

It would probably take a 2nd to get him anyway, perhaps it would be better to save the pick and let shanny and the boys build for the future. Something that has been sorely missed around here in the last decade.
