Re: Lets keep things into perspective and not panic people!
 

[quote=skinsnut;740380]After mid preseason, I said this was a 7-9 team...I said 6-10 last season and was wrong.
The reality is this...our defense is far worse than even I anticipated and we cant run.
This team has forgotten how to win... and the inability of the new coaching staff to put the best talent on the field is unacceptable....why is Haynesworth on the bench with a last ranked defense?...why is DT not on the field as the #2 WR?...why are they rotating Olinemen?....why is Portis sitting when he was averaging 8 yards a carry and showing a good burst in a tight game....why did the coaching staff abandon the run when the defense clearly couldn't stop anything?

This haslett thing is hitting hard way earlier than anticipated...many expected a drop off in defensive performance...but a top 10 defense turning to pure CRAP so quickly is appaling...this oline was bad last year...but we have never had rushing problems this severe...this all just proves one thing....Gibbs was far better than most of us realized.
This is a poor team with a new coaching staff that does not yet know how to put its best players on the field yet.

The first fix to this team is a major overhaul in defensive scheme to go back to a 4-3 hybrid combined with a power rushing hybrid zone blocking scheme.

This radical shift in both cannot occur successfully in one year.
This team is underperforming even the lowest expectations of 7-9.
This is a 6-10 team at best.
Get used to losing....again....
Don't mean to be a downer....just looking at the reality of the situation.
Try to enjoy 1 win per month like last year folks.[/quote]

If it was possible to agree more than 100%, I would. Great post. Can't really say it any better than that.

Portis averages 8 yards a carry in the first half, we end up with basically no rushing yards in the second half, and Shanny's explanation for giving the carries to Torain is "we wanted to stick with the hot hand." ????? Whaaaaat?

Run the ball. Stop the run (or the pass for God's sake). A proven formula to win games. We do neither. At all. Given our next 3 opponents, we are staring 1-5 square in the face. That's the perspective.

If I was an oddsmaker, if aceinthehouse bet $1 on his 14-2 prediction at this point and he won, he'd be a billionaire.

I'm not sure how you think the Redskins arent pretty much the same as the Lion & Raiders. They lost to the Lions last year and barely beat the Raiders. They have lost to the Rams the last 2 times they have played them. The Skins have lost something like 13 of their last 14 road games, that's pretty Lion-like to me. I know its tough to admit but the Redskins are a bottom tier team and that isnst going to change for quite sometime because outside of Orakpo & Williams they essentially have no young core that appears poised to step in and become stars in a season or two. This is going to be a long rebuilding (of the team and the organizational culture) process.

If you believe in curses, look into the native american connection w/the redskins name. Someone told me that in the 90s a native american group did a curse ceremony or whatever it is called at fedex. There are also a no. of stories of curses that various indians have put on the team.

At times like these, curses seem believable. Look at the way the team has lost over the years w/different coaches, etc.

There are 2 differences that separate our skins from the bottom teams like Oakland & Detroit:

1) We've had a few playoff appearances this decade & managed to be 8-8 just two seasons ago. i.e. we trend closer to mediocrity than those teams.

2) we have done this at great expense w/Haynesworth being the latest example.

Otherwise, I agree w/you.

Oakland has more playoff appearances this decade than the Skins. So do the Rams. The Lions are in a class all by themselves.

I'm not sure what expense has to do with it other than the Skins are over-paying with nothing to show for it and have done so at the expense of developing their own core of young players.

You can't look at a player and pick and choose stuff like Brandon Lloyd. He has done nothing up intil the last three games so its not like he has been lighting it up sense leaving the skins. Maybe teams are not covering him because of his lack of production so he had a couple good game. Naybe he has finally grwon up and is working harder on his game. Who knows but it has nothing to do with us.

Of course a player will get to play when the head coach thinks he's ready. That is why you hire the damed head coach in the first place. :doh:

That is why Joe Gibbs did not start Colt Brennan - - and why Jim Zorn didn't either.

Devin Thomas had the entire off-season to show the coaching staff that he was worthy of playing WR on a regular basis. During all the OTAs and mini-camps and training camp, he could not make that case.

When players try to determine things like who will play and what position they will play and how assiduously they will follow the system, you get situations like:
[INDENT]Clinton Portis
Albert Haynesworth
LaVar Arrington[/INDENT]
Oh good. The team needs lots more of those kinds of situations...

When fans try to determine who should start and who should play what position and what plays should be called on offense or defense, the team is headed for being "on the clock" as of the second week of January.

It's always amusing when fans think they know who should be starting based on what very limited knowledge we have of these players vs the coaches who live, eat, and breath football with these guys. And it's not like Devin Thomas had a great track record prior to Shanahan either.

Roydell Williams and Armstrong are really killing it out there. Aren't they? It's not that hard to design a few easy plays for DT. It doesn't take a coach inside the building to know that. We all know DT can run well so throw him a few wr screens. Figure out what he can do well and get him going that way. Plus Davis had his guy beat on the interference play. How come we didn't see Davis the rest of the day? These are simple things. Not gonna bitch about the offense too much but if I can figure some of this crap out then how come they can't?

Re: Lets keep things into perspective and not panic people!
 

I understood the argument when it was Zorn, who had 0 experience as an OC. But both Mike and Kyle have proven they can make use of TE's and WR's, it just seems like a hollow argument to me. Here is a question for any DT apologists:
Why would KS (or MS) keep DT off the field, if they felt DT was better than Roydell?

I can't imagine one scenario, where DT would have outplayed Roydell in practice, and KS said, "hey dad, lets just keep him off the field, cuz all the fans want to see him and fans don't know squat."

Now maybe, bringing in Simpson, they are hoping to get a new KR out there so DT can play WR, but only time will tell.

You should be coaching, really. It's obviously so simple.

Re: Lets keep things into perspective and not panic people!
 

I think its pretty well established on offense that we mos def need more help at WR, RB, and O-line. I honestly think the talent there is lacking and really interchangable whether its Thomas vs Galloway vs Williams at WR or Torrain vs Portis, etc. Their all pretty average to below average players at thier point in their careers. Unfortuanatly, those things we really cannot change at this point with regards to the roster.

The big problem I have with the Offense is the redzone. We can change that and get better. We need Wonder Boy Kyle to do a better job playcalling and coaching up a better stragdy when we get there. That said, its no excuse not to be using our TEs more when we get down there...or the middle of the field. Tooooooo many field goals down there

Good thread.
[quote=aceinthehouse;740072]Our running game looked a lot better,although it was against the Rams. Maybe with Portis,Williams,ATV and Simpson,it will give Shanahan more tools to work with against opponents.[/quote]

The running game was one of the positives from that game.
If Portis doesn't lay down at the end of that nice run, he probably would've kept getting carries and had a nice day on the ground.
Imho Portis getting pulled after that carry was a clear sign from Shanahan that no matter what the reason laying down at the end of a run is unacceptable.
EDIT:He wasn't completely pulled he had 2 more carries
And hopefully that will give Portis a kick in the pants to start finishing your runs or else.

Ryan Torrain was very productive ,although i'm not a fan of his upright running style, it looks like he could come in and be effective.

Who is ATV?


[quote][B]My vents....[/B]

We need to find a way to get Brandon Banks back on the practice squad or 53 man roster...(But I have a feeling he will be scooped up through waivers...this was a very bad move imo) We desperately need his speed on the field. Do we really need Roydell Williams that bad or newly signed RB Chad Simpson? I simply just don't understand this move,but the coaches know better than me.We can use Banks on screens,returns or whatever. He may have fixed his fumbling for all we know,but his homerun ability and natural speed an RAC as a receiver can not be overlooked for moving the ball downfield for 1st downs. This team is not very fast and cutting the fastest guy on the team with lots of promise or keeping him on the practice squad is not very smart imo...
[/quote]

I don't understand the love for Banks? His speed is not that unique especially since our WR corps is filled with burners most of whom are at least as fast as Banks: Moss, Galloway, Armstrong, Devin Thomas.

I would much rather see Devin11 on screens and hitches then Banks.
Roydell Williams is probably on the team because after Moss and Galloway he's the most [I][B]proven[/B][/I] WR on the roster.



[quote]I don't know if it's the tackling,the 3-4 scheme or what,but I did notice something yeesterday that [B]I DID NOT LIKE AT ALL...[/B][/quote]
My take:the main fixable problem on the defense is in the secondary

[quote]I saw our CB's playing off the Rams WR's 10 yards off the ball or more...And after the quick slants and passes by Bradford,there was no adjustment.[/quote]
I concur.

[quote]If you would have told me that Greg Blache coached this last game against the Rams,I would have believed you...[/quote]
Blache was heavy on man coverage in situations where we were in zone on Sunday.
I think Blache's man coverage scheme would have helped us on sunday.

[quote]Time to end the Shanahan VS Haynesworth pissing contest and get him on the field somehow...It's one thing to have an ego and prove a point,it's another when it's a detriment to the teams success.What,you didn't see Haynesworth cave in the o-line of the Rams on that goalline stance last night?
[/quote]

I don't want to speculate on the 'why' aspect but i agree Haynesworth needs to start.
You can't tell me the defense isn't better when he's out there drawing a double team from the RDEs spot.

[quote]Why are we not using Fred Davis and Chris Cooley as weapons? (They were against the Texans and that was a dose of what could be?)
I don't feel like they are being used the way they should...maybe I'm missing something...It's not Mcnabb...it's more of the playcalling
Whazup Kyle?[/quote]

We don't know how much Kyle is trying to get them involved for all we know he could be trying and hard and the defenses are taking it away or McNabb isn't going in that direction.

But, the RZ playcalling has been too passive, imo.
And the 3rd conversions have been horrid i think we're a league worst 6-32.
But, that number is misleading because we've had a lot of 3rd and longs and you have to think there's no where to go but up from 6-32.

More then the WRs or the OL i think Kyle and McNabb are the problem and therefore i beleive the problems on 3rd down and the RZ are fixable.
In general terms of the passing game imo Kyle needs to find a comfort level with McNabb and needs to learn how to call games to make McNabb more [I][B]effecient[/B][/I].
Because McNabb has shown a penchant for focusing on the big play rather then moving the chains.
Sometimes the situation just calls for getting a first down to extend the drive rather then a homerun shot that ends up as ending the drive.
But, just as much as Kyle should get more quick game standard move the chains WCO concepts like he did to start the Texans game with Sellers; McNabb has to be able to turn down the low percentage deep shot when a higher percentage short throw will get us a 1st down.

Hell, Jacksonville is the only one similar to us, but they have Jones-Drew.

And the Lions have Suh vs. Rabach and Hicks. Let that sink in. SUH vs Rabach and Hicks. SUH VS. RABACH AND HICKS.

Re: Lets keep things into perspective and not panic people!
 

Everyone wants to say give it a year, or whatever but the honest truth is we were "suppose" to win this year. that is what was pushed to us as skins fans "the future is now" crap. I think the reason i am so pissed after this game is the fact we still loose games like we do. Giving up 17 point lead vs. the Texans, digging ourself a 14-0 hole against the freaking rams, only to fight back and give it up at the end. No matter who has been the coach these outcomes have always been the same. Whether the players, coaches, front office whatever we still have that same characteristic as a team. Another thing that gets me is why can't we run a freaking fade route in the endzone! Why can't we get over all this EGO crap and put our best players on the field. Yes, I am talking Albert. You can't tell me that he isn't better than freaking gholston, or Holliday, Kemo. And Devin Tomas isn't better than some of the stuff we put out there at WR. Devin really played well at the end of the year last year. and the playcalling, it was like we were down 28 points or something. Getting 6 to 7 yards a carry and completely scrap the running game! Its the same ole Redskins no matter who is wearing the headset.

Re: Lets keep things into perspective and not panic people!
 

It's unfortunate that so many fans believe there is no way the Skins could pull off an unexpected win when they just had an unexpected loss.

There's no sugarcoating Sunday's loss. It was a bad loss. But we're tied for 2nd in the division (or last depending on how you look at it) and 1-0 in the division. I guess it's fine if we want to get apocalyptical (probably not a word) at this point but I sure hope the people that matter (the ones in the locker room) aren't. Because if the message inside the locker room is let's pack it in now...I'll find another team to root for.

Another thing that gets me is why can't we run a freaking fade route in the endzone! Why can't we get over all this EGO crap and put our best players on the field. Yes, I am talking Albert. You can't tell me that he isn't better than freaking gholston, or Holliday, Kemo. And Devin Tomas isn't better than some of the stuff we put out there at WR. Devin really played well at the end of the year last year. and the playcalling, it was like we were down 28 points or something. Getting 6 to 7 yards a carry and completely scrap the running game! Its the same ole Redskins no matter who is wearing the headset.[/quote]

100%.... It is very frustrating to see the same characteristics in our team year after year. especially since the entire team has been replaced from HC to water boy. Still can't keep a lead. Still bringing games into final seconds just to lose in the end. Still losing games we should win. Still not using our talent correctly. Still calling a lousy game. If we need 10 yards we throw for 5 if we need 5 yards we throw for 2, when we need 2 yards we throw for 20 and miss, ect... Can't run, can't tackle, No sense of ergency.

Same ole Redskins... (sigh) yeah
