[quote=CultBrennan59;967255]Lets hit the brakes just a little on that prediction. What I see in Aldrick is a guy who can be trade bate to a WR needy team next year.[/quote]

Aldrick Robinson has too much speed. If he can keep catching passes without the drops, he can be just as good as any WR in the NFL. I don't see the Redskins trading him. He's a developmental player who hasn't reached his potential yet. Once he reaches it, it would be crazy for the Redskins to trade him. Robinson could be another Victor Cruz. I can see the Redskins trading Leonard Hankerson though.

No freakin' way. How about we keep a home grown guy and let him keep improving with RG3.

Exactly.

The thing we are going to have going for us is RGIII. Players will want to stick around and come in to play with him.

Robinson is one of my favorite players. Hopefully he become great number 2

Re: Skins 38 Cowboys 31 post game thread
 

One more thing about RG3. Is there a tougher guy on the team? Every week he's taking some serious shots yet he just keeps on getting up. He's tough as nails.

Re: Skins 38 Cowboys 31 post game thread
 

After sucking for so long on offense I'd like to keep as many weapons as possible....unless someone is willing to give up a true #1 corner or a beast safety. :) We still need a RT. I never thought I'd say it....but I'm more comfortable with our o-line than our defense. It was good to see some pressure and some TO's the last couple of weeks but we're still giving up big leads waaaay too often.

Re: Skins 38 Cowboys 31 post game thread
 

I think the Redskins will be a lot better next season in the secondary. There's no way in hell the secondary doesn't get addressed this coming offseason. The Redskins have Brandon Meriweather and Tanard Jackson coming back. We also have Madieu Williams. Although Madieu Williams let me down with being out of position on that 77 yard bomb against the Giants, I've noticed that he has played well overall. He had a pick 6 against Minnesota and the hit he put on Dez Bryant yesterday to prevent the score in the end zone was tremendous. I can still see the Redskins drafting at least two young safeties.

The CB position will have to be addressed. D. Hall is a slot guy. He's not a number 1 CB. Mike Shanahan and Jim Haslett have to know this and I hope Bruce Allen uses our 2nd round pick to address the corner position in the draft. Since Mike Shanahan likes competition so much, it would make sense to draft another CB to push Josh Wilson. I'm not sure if Crawford or Minnifield is ready to do that just yet.

Re: Skins 38 Cowboys 31 post game thread
 

Watching the Moss touchdown was a thing of beauty, the way he twisted his foot so that it stayed in bounds, and the timing and overall body control of Santana.

A few weeks ago people were wondering if we still needed upgrades at WR, now everyone is on the trade block. Hilarious.

Re: Skins 38 Cowboys 31 post game thread
 

[quote=skinsfaninok;967285]I still think a possession guy is needed.[/quote]

Hankerson is the man for that, just like people were saying Austin is better than Robinson, etc.

I still have high hopes for Hankerson, the more catches they make the more confident they get. I believe Robinson will be a factor moving forwards. 2 big catches in 2 weeks and counting.

Niles Paul is also looking better lately

Re: Skins 38 Cowboys 31 post game thread
 

I'm 100% giddy today. I could not be happier with the performance yesterday. One of the most enjoyable Skins games I've seen in 30 years.

With that in mind I'm officially closing my doghouse. Garcon, DHall, Hank... I love you all. Even Josh Wilson gets a free pass today.

[quote=Paintrain;967230]It's amazing that literally 7 days ago we were debating firing the coach, starting over, how untalented the roster was, how hope was lost and now it's unbridled enthusiasm.

I had a strange feeling watching the game Sunday and again yesterday. Optimism. It seemed that we had the younger, faster, more physical football team on the field for the first time in seemingly ages. That 2nd quarter was magical, simply put. Even in the midst of the comeback, I felt confident we would make the plays to win. It's been forever, probably since '91, that I felt that confident that we would do what we needed in order to close out a big win. The future is indeed bright in Redskins-land.[/quote]

The two teams we beat are in disarray. I understand the enthusiasm, but lets still remember we are still under .500, and are playing the super bowl champs this next week. They spanked us at our house, we have to play much better than we did even the past two weeks against a MUCH superior opponent. You want to see if the redskins have what it takes to contend? This next game with a share of the lead of the NFCE on the line, primetime game with the ability to finally pull back to .500 will say alot. The coaches have a leg up on time to prepare, and our guys should be much more rested than the GMen. This next game is defintely a must win if we want to seriously make a run at the playoffs.

When?

Re: Skins 38 Cowboys 31 post game thread
 

[quote=REDSKINS4ever;967252]Mike Shanahan drafted Robinson because he was fast. [B]He probably slipped to the 6th round of the 2011 draft because he couldn't catch the football.[/B] But even at SMU the guy dropped passes. He's nowhere near a complete wide out yet but once he starts catching 15/17 balls thrown to him he will be a starter. The young man does have the potential to be a 65-80 receptions a year/1,000-1,300 yard a year wide receiver.[/quote]

Can you teach someone to catch? I think there's a lot of psychology/mentality/confidence that goes into it. Maybe just a million reps so it becomes 2nd nature?

And I gotta eat some crow on Robinson because early in the season he looked pretty typical but others said he was a burner. Yesterday was totally blown coverage but his speed has a lot to do with it. Did I hear a 4.2 40!!!?

It was a stupid move by Hall,smart play by Bryant to get under Hall's skin,just lucky refs didnt see it.Then Bryant pretended to throw a punch at Hall to further entice him,but luckily Hall didnt fall for it and swing back

Like with everything on the NFL level, catching a football comes with repetition. Robinson may never drop another pass in his career or maybe he will. But the positive thing is he's developing into a very good wide receiver. We have to respect the Donald Drivers, the Victor Cruzs, the Miles Austins, and the Aldrick Robinsons because these are wide receivers who were drafted very late or not at all. Like Driver, Cruz, and Austin, Robinson has a great opportunity to flourish into an elite NFL wide receiver.

Re: Skins 38 Cowboys 31 post game thread
 

Sorry, I forgot that we beat them earlier this season, first game. I had thought they beat us. Anyways, this next game will tell us a whole lot, if this team has what it takes to make a run or not.

Re: Skins 38 Cowboys 31 post game thread
 

Just think if the Skins don't let Victor Cruz run wild on that fly pattern. .500 team.

Yes. In that game at that time I loved it.

Re: Skins 38 Cowboys 31 post game thread
 

I think it was 2010 the Giants smoked us at home. Rainy day and Peyton's little brother torched us. Swept them last year. I think the next meeting will be a defining moment. Mechanix is right that both Philly and Dallas are a mess. Philly is a joke with Foles at the helm. Dallas was really, really sloppy yesterday, shooting themselves in the foot with penalties, and they are missing more talent on defense than we are. And their oline is a joke. Bottom line is we absolutely should have won the last two games and we did. Had we lost either game it would have been a severe indictment of the regime and justified a change IMO. Let's see what happens the rest of the season...

Re: Skins 38 Cowboys 31 post game thread
 

[quote=CrazyCanuck;967329]Yes. In that game at that time I loved it.[/quote]

LOL. I agree.

Dez Bryant is next on the long list of human garbage that the Cowboys draft that I'm going to hate. I try to separate people from that team, but being objective, they just seem to draft/sign the most douche-bag people. D. Hall is kind of like that for me on the Skins.

Ryan and Bryant just make me cringe.

I am really curious to see if Griffin makes any adjustments to his game specifically since he has played the Giants once. This will be the first division rematch game, and I am pretty excited by the prospect of him learning their tendencies (if they have any). I suppose it could work the other way too, but overall it's another step in his growth.

Meanwhile Morris needs 18 yards to break 1000!!!

Re: Skins 38 Cowboys 31 post game thread
 

So I usually don't wear much skin stuff but today I threw on my skins shirt. While out with the family for a few hours I probably had 15 people say something and I had 3 people come up and start a coversation. Was alking to one guy in front of Lowes as to Dallas fans walked by and we joked on them. This win might not change our season but I think its going to help get our fans base excited again about the skins. My dad has always been a skins fan but he has not really watched them much over the past 10 years. Now he makes it a point to see the games this year.

Some fun from a Boys forum.....
[B]Jerry, go get RG3![/B]
Went to bed early last night while I'm sure many went out black friday shopping. Had a dream that RG3 was wearing a star on his helmet. It was a night of elation I must say...
It's a shame it was only just a dream...

What do yall think it'll take to get the man to play in the Lone-star state as a Dallas Cowboy?

If it costs the team Romo, Dez, Miles, Tyron Smith, and 2 firsts to get RG3, I say Jerry ought to pull the trigger.

Heck you can throw Spencer and any of our D-linemen in as well.

I don't wanna watch Sir Robert Griffin the 3rd play for the skins. I want him right here in Texas--where he shall hoist the Lombardi Trophy more times than any other QB in the next decade...

GO GET EM JERRY!!!
