[quote=GMScud;846815]Hiring Juan Castillo as a DC was a head-scratcher. The last time the guy had any experience coaching defense was at the high school level. Literally. And suddenly he's running the D of a team that has Super Bowl aspirations heading into the season? WTF? I don't get that at all.[/quote]

I heard Haslet say he knew him and he played LB in college, but....he had never heard of a switch like that either and it would take time. Does seem pretty strange.

Very refreshing....I guess we will not have to worry about him ditchin' his court date to settle his $600k jewelry bill..........

Re: Redemption Week!!
 

If we get Sexy Rexy, we win, we get bad Rex we lose. It is that simple. If I was Shanny I would just give the Eagles all 3 of our Rbs and run it up Reid's ass. Give Rex some nice easy slants, etc. I think once we establish the solid running game then we can loosen up on Rex to keep the D honest, but I don't think we can put the game on Rex's shoulders anymore. I am not too sure we are going to see Sexy Rexy anymore.

Re: Redemption Week!!
 

I see this game all about Rex on offense not the run game bcuz Philly will bring 8-9 in the box

I think thats probably gonna be the case also.Just because 1 team has sucked against the run doesnt mean it will the next week.Just look at Oakland last week,they were being gashed in the run game but stuffed Houstons run game last week{im sure to force schaub to beat them without andre johnson}
Hopefully Arnstrong can play and stretch the field and good Rex will show up.How frickin great would it be to see rex throw a strike to Armstrong for an 80 yrd td on the opening drive

Re: Redemption Week!!
 

Rex Grossman's best performance of the season came when the opposing defense committed itself to stopping the run at all costs over stopping him. That means we better run the ball down the Eagles' throats so we can get one-on-one matchups for Rex.

How the hell is a 1-4 team favored on the road against a 3-1 team? No love from Vegas I guess.

If we're only good for 16 or 17 points though, Vegas will be right.

Re: Redemption Week!!
 

D.Hall does it right this time. His statements were well thought out and spoken like a team leader.

DeAngelo Hall was sort of circumspect when Comcast SportsNet’s Kelli Johnson asked him this week if he wanted to make a Redskins prediction, in the Rex Grossman slash Tim Hightower tradition.

“I’m gonna shy away from that,” Hall told Johnson. “I don’t need no more heat. Like I said man, we’re on the right track right now. We’ll take it one game at a time.”

It's the NFC East and anything can happen,also the're playing the odds....the Skins are not going to win all their games and the Eagles are'nt going to lose all theirs.In your wins ...the Giants choked and you won the other 2 by 1 point and 3 points,all it is ....is the odds makers playing the odds.

Agree, which is a similar reason I am picking the Giants to roll over the Bills this Sunday. But in this case I think the Giants are a more solid team and winning with more effort than luck as the Bills have had every situation go their way and playing teams that have beaten themselves. IMO

Re: Redemption Week!!
 

According to injury report Hall is questionable for Sunday w/ a knee injury. Buchanan is also questionable. Yikes! Hopefully Atogwe chooses tomorrow to be his first impact game as a Skin.

Much has been made about the Philadelphia Eagles’ “wide nine” defensive scheme, and the team’s inability to stop opponents since switching to that front this season. The popular belief in Philadelphia is that Andy Reid & Co. should scrap the defense and go back to the system used in the past.

But Redskins tackles Trent Williams and Jammal Brown believe that the Eagles aren’t as far off as people believe in making the system work effectively, and they see how the wide nine could cause problems for opponents.

Philly has been getting the sacks, so if Kyle gets the urge to try make Rexy look sexy by calling tons of passing plays, he's going to be in for a looooong day.

and all i can think about is how we were going to run down the rams throats and they did PA, PA, PA for the first two drives before setting down. I hope they just do some good ol' Marty Ball ( I never thought I'd say that).

Re: Redemption Week!!
 

can't wait for kickoff ... this is def one the biggest early season games in a long time ... with the impact to knock philly down to 1-5 and to move to 4-1 is so huge ... I have confidence and not just kool aid confidence in this team ... the D & the Shannys have been working this one over for 2 weeks ... that crowd better be rocking it's ass off .. see you all Nov.6th as I'll be flying back for some fed ex action vs the 49ers.

Re: Redemption Week!!
 

Biggest game in the last 3 years. im glad its a 1 kickoff, id start breaking sh*t if i had to wait to 4 for this

Re: Redemption Week!!
 

WWOOOOTTT WOOOOOT! i bowled a respectable 162 last night..sry had to mention that. not the greatest score but considering there was a whole familyt of this girls birthday that came down fron PA with their own bowling balls figured id mention.

ANYWAYS we are gonna stomp these lil bastards, man, ive made the past about 5 years or so philly games at fed ex wish i didnt have to go to this wedding and would be heading south instead of north.

i love philly fans. ive drank and smoked in this eagles decked out winnebago where they have "giant slayers" and "cowboys killerz" decorated on the sides. anybody going to games im sure has seen it.

there real cool dudes, probably entering their 30s now, they get pretty crazy. me and my friend who is literally 6'4 and 400 lbs decided to trade smoke for beers with the fter a skins win and decided to leave after they started getting real mad about 2 hours after the game ...well one guy really and we def bigger and badder than they were but props still to them for repping

Re: Redemption Week!!
 

quick story, im sure this is in the skins eagles game threads from years back. we are getting absolutely stomped, me and my aofementioned very large friend leave with afew mins to go and full beers in our hands. ushers at exit gate say we cant leave with full beers so we proceeed to nurse them at the exit gate as we absolutley rip n curse every philly fan leavin the game. i mean rippin into em. finally my large irissh friend gets this girl to call him some indigant irish name, hes curses here like in a style that would make his dead irish pappy rpoud, problem is she is with 2 of they biggest ****s ive ever seen. i mean these guys were close 7 foot and not the fat **** types either. real athletic looking and looking to beat some ass.

so i step up next to my buddy and join the shit talk fest scared out of me beejessus knowing im the only guy not freakish big. so one of them towers of a philly fan spits on my boy and that gives me the in, i throw my beer down at his feet and spit back on him! cops come over and break it up, we had another altercation farther along in the parking lot but it didnt amount to much but man . . . .so happy they started to spit and not thrown down.

anyways, love philly fans at fed ex. really do. ive gone to every eagles game at home for the past so many years and just love em. so take it easy on em. they love a good game ribbing, they can give and take it so no need to just shit talk em.

ps - sorry gotta call out the gay ass skins fans in bmore. im going to get m coffee now with a skisn hoodie. every time without fail there will be some dude in non skins gear wearing some ****ing under armour parka who will go out of his way to say "cool jersey man" or "go skins". . . .how bout you rep your colors and not be a scared bitch? there are alot of skins fans who do wear their sit bt dang if every time i dont get some closet skins fan saying something. wear your colors man!

It's game day biatches! HTTR!
