[quote=jdlea;746399]I was impressed with the way this team stayed in this game. In year's past, I think we all know this game would have been an L.

One major gripe, though, on the deep ball to Santana, that eventually lead to the FG, why does he not even try to stay in bounds? He's 2 steps behind the nearest defend and just lets his momentum carry him out of bounds. I'm not saying he could have stayed in or would have scored, but he made no attempt at all. It irritated me a little bit.[/quote]

Santana is not Santonio. Santonio knows the art of improvising after a route if the play is busted and has helped pad Rapistberger's stats because of that. He got called out by it by the commentators, and I have to agree with them.

Re: Redskins vs. Packers - POSITIVES!!
 

I'm going with Armstrong because that wicked route running and catch got us into the game.

Re: Redskins vs. Packers - POSITIVES!!
 

I am far from impressed with our CBs...they play too deep and you can pretty much get all the underneath stuff at will the first two downs on them.

Yeah he left some yards out there on that one. Not sure if he just thought he was closer to the sidelines than he was or what. Still, hard to get too mad at the guy who's on pace for a career year. Hope he stays healthy because I would hate to see our passing game if he went out for any length of time.

His first job is to catch it cleanly and get two feet down. Perhaps if the throw was delivered more upfield, Moss would've had more room to stay inbounds. That was a huge 3rd down conversion that started the comeback, so I have no problem with Moss on that play.

Re: Redskins vs. Packers - POSITIVES!!
 

Opposing Kickers choking is a positive in my book.

Re: Redskins vs. Packers - POSITIVES!!
 

[quote=12thMan;746402]Rogers and Hall are very quitely putting together a good season at the corner position. They shut down Philly's duo last week and had another solid outing yesterday. Forget the Dallas game, but I don't remember any of their wideouts going wild either.[/quote]

I disagree. They both play way too soft. I understand they don't want to give up deep balls but it seemed that when ever Rogers wanted a 10 yard out he got it. I'd like to see both play a little more aggressive. Hall would've been the goat had Crosby made that FG. He played way too soft on a 3rd string TE.

Re: Redskins vs. Packers - POSITIVES!!
 

[quote=Mattyk;746398]Speaking of Carlos he had another potential INT bounce off him. That one yesterday hit him square in the chest.

It's comical at this point.[/quote]

That would've been a real tough catch but if he ever wants to become elite status he's gotta make that play.

it would've been real tough for him to stay in bounds on that play. moss was outstanding yesterday. this might be his best year since 05.

Re: Redskins vs. Packers - POSITIVES!!
 

If he had tried a spin right before going out of bounds he might've been able to stay in bounds and head for the end zone. McNabb's throw led him out of bounds though and it's just a minor gripe because in the end he caught the ball. I'd like to start seeing more bombs go for touchdowns too because in the end sometimes we don't convert them to td's, but that comes with timing, and McNabb and his receivers are still getting a feel for each other. It's going to take a while to build that.

I dont know what CBs impress you then...Charles Woodson? He got made to look like a b*tch most of the day. Macklin and Jackson, shut down...Jennings and Driver (IMO better than the Philly Kids), shut down. Your not impressed?

Sounds like from your comments its more scheme than play, Haslett has them playing deep

I've seen it a few times, it's not like he's got to drag his feet to stay in on that play. It's not a huge issue for me, I just would have liked to see a little more effort. The throw did lead him out, but it looked he took about 3 steps before he got there, if he didn't I know he didn't have to break his stride to stay in, which makes me think, he should have tried to make a cut.

We are still the second worst passing defense this year. It is the scheme and perhaps the players getting use to it. The front 7 needs to do a better job too.

Re: Redskins vs. Packers - POSITIVES!!
 

Gano should be on this list as well...but I chose Mcnabb

Re: Redskins vs. Packers - POSITIVES!!
 

There were so many plays that set them up for the win. Landry's INT, Cooley's 30-yard catch, and Gano's coolness. Alexander and Wilson made a lot of plays beforehand. Moore is a pure coverage FS.

Campbell does a nice job with these weekly breakdowns.

Don't agree on the Jarmon "helmet to helmet" though. I've seen the replay a half dozen times now and I don't see where he led with the helmet, at least not to the degree where it should have been flagged. Did anyone see it that can point it out to me?? Maybe a different angle would help, I've only see the replay from the endzone cam.

I'm with you, I thought that Jarmon did everything possible to avoid any kind of helmet-to-helmet or roughing penalty. I was impressed by Jarmon's discipline, in fact.

Re: Redskins vs. Packers - POSITIVES!!
 

I said at the beginning of the season I thought the Redskins would have one of the better secondaries in the league and I still stand by that. I think if you look at stats alone, you'd probably come away with the only logical conclusion that we suck. But if you look at individual play, which has been even for the most part save a few plays, the physical play across the board (remember it was Hall and Moore that knocked Vick out, not Landry), we've shut down some notable WR tandems so far, and we're doing well in the turnover category.

Also, Kareem Moore has quitely (or not so quietly) asserted himself as the unquestioned starter at safety. No doubt, he's an upgrade over Horton and Doughty.

Re: Redskins vs. Packers - POSITIVES!!
 

I voted Landry, but TBH, I didn't see a game ball at all last night.
