I wonder what is our record against backup QBs. Not pretty though, I'm sure.

Re: Bye Week Games Thread
 

There is no way we are getting rid of Shanny after one season or at least god I hope not! We need some continuity with this coaching staff! Look at all of the consistently good team in this league and you will notice they have long term coaches, you can't expect players to master a system in one or even two years. It takes a good relationship between the HC and OC and DC and players to really become elite. Look at NE, Pitt, Tenn, even Baltimore has had only 2 coaches from 2000 to now.

We NEED to keep a staff together for 4 or 5 years to stop the boat from rocking every other year if nothing else!

Seriously, Giants are looking very good right now and considering how bad the Boys are, it's going to be another blowout.

Re: Bye Week Games Thread
 

I agree the Giants are best team in NFC right now, still half the season left though so anything can happen

Yeah, this is my fear, I've felt this way all season. The rivalry is like that. The timing is bad for us, if we could just play them while they're in free fall. Instead we get to play them after they've likely fired the coach & the players get the message that they're 'auditioning' for jobs.

Gotta say I'm really happy for Jason Campbell.

[quote=skinsfan69;756861]Gotta say I'm really happy for Jason Campbell.[/quote]As much as I really never want to discuss Campbell again, its hard to imagine a guy who deserves to lead a winning team more. As a fan, I'm happy for him as well, no matter what happens from here.

Re: Bye Week Games Thread
 

I know there is still 1/2 a season to play but my prediction for the Raiders and Campbell are getting closer:

Can Wade Phillips kick extra points?
If so the Lions should sign him after Jerruh gives him the boot.

Re: Bye Week Games Thread
 

Anyone else catch how Arian Foster was robbed of a TD on the same garbage rule that Calvin Johnson was earlier in the year?

[YT]0nJ_SrHr-2I[/YT]

Looked like he took several steps, a "football move" after catching it. He crossed the goal line and when he went down on the ball, it came out of his hand, but well after he crossed the goal line with possession after making a clear "football move" (I hate that term).

It was less blatant than the mistake made on CJ's, but still a bad rule.

Why do we wish bad on our opponents, shouldn't we want to play them at their best? That's how loser teams think.

probably not,I hope its better than our record against rookie QBs.My local paper said{before we played the Rams} that we were 0-7 in our last 7 games against rookie qbs.

Re: Bye Week Games Thread
 

I'm wondering why we can't coach up Eric Cook on our PS during these last 2 weeks and replace Rabach?
[url=http://www.redskins.com/gen/players/Erik_Cook.jsp]Erik Cook[/url]

Re: Bye Week Games Thread
 

^ As bad as Rabach has been you think a PS guy is going to replace him mid-season?

If Cook was good enough to be on the active roster, he would be already.

Re: Bye Week Games Thread
 

Maybe if we were 1-7 and done for the year, but with some more division wins, we're playoff contenders still.

Yeah Casey is bad, but the unknowns of a PS guy and the possible decline from even the Rabachery we've seen so far...not worth the risk.

Didn't Rex just teach us that lesson?

More then likely your right. I just see short, light Rabach getting steam rolled each week against bigger DL's. If they could have coached up this kid he looks big enough and tall enough that he "should" be able to handle most DL. It doesn't mean he knows how.

[B]Didn't Rex just teach us that lesson?[/[/B]QUOTE]

I wouldn't have put him in cause McNabb is one of the best last few minute QB's in the league, but I understand why he put him in. I'm sure he (MS) felt like I do on Sun. when we see over throw, dirt ball, over throw, punt. The Lions game was just a bad game all around. The WR's were not catching, McNabb was drilling the ball when he should have used finess, dirt balls, over throws, getting hit on every play and knocked to the ground.

But my point is the Center would have had 2 weeks to get coached up, Sexy Rexy was thrown in, in the last 2 min. of a game cold and not having played all season. Thats not fair to anyone, not even McNabb.

Cook may be an option next year but for now we're stuck with Rabach

Re: Bye Week Games Thread
 

Non-Redskins related but Shanahan related.

Brandon Marshall is the third most targeted receiver in the NFL (87 times). He has one receiving touchdown and is once again under 12 yards per catch. Going to have another 100 catch -- 1,000 yard receiving season again, and his team will miss the playoffs in part because their big-time receiver acquisition disappears inside the red zone and can't move the chains in the rest of the field.

In completely unrelated news, the Redskins need to go after Chad Henne who has been a nice performer for the Dolphins, but is now taking a backseat to Chad Pennington in part because the Dolphins can't score in the red zone.

Henne's TD rate on all passes not thrown to Brandon Marshall this year is a respectable 3.7% (season rate: 2.7%; Marshall 1.1%), which means that he should have two more TDs than he actually has (and probably another win to boot) except that Brandon Marshall sucks as a football receiver.

I think Henne is solid but not a "Franchise" QB, he actually reminds me of Campbell in a way.

I still say 5 will be here next season. We do need a young QB though

But as a take him or leave him proposition this season...yeah, they're more or less the same player. One has a sack problem, the other has an INT problem.

We could still use either though. Henne in particular, because a guy with a quick release could be productive behind this inconsistent line.

Re: Bye Week Games Thread
 

So the Dolphins took Beck as the QB of the future in the 2nd round...and now he's on our roster. Then the Dolphins took Henne as their QB of the future in the 2nd round, after deciding Beck wasn't the answer.

I don't know if the battle of the discarded Dolphin QBs is going to solve anything for us

Yea I agree, Henne just seems to damn predictable when he throws. I just hope Dmac starts balling and we will be fine for another year or 2 at QB
