Re: Skins cowboys postgame
 

So our offense ranks 4th in the league and our defense ranks 27th in the league.

^ I'm glad we rank high in yards but as we all know, POINTS are the only thing that matters in the NFL.

Oh, well if you want points our offense ranks 20th and defense ranks 27th. That looks a lot more accurate lol.

We'd be a great team if we could actually score.

I know that's the Captain Obvious statement of the season but it still boggles my mind how we can get so many yards and so little TDs.

The only thing I could think is that a lot of those yards we pick up are due to penalties and being in horrible yardage situations (2 and 20... 3 and 12) and us picking up yards but not the first down. Or else us starting back within our own 20 and never making it into our opponents redzone.

Speaking of which, we need a special teams overhaul during the offseason. Seriously. Get rid of all those dudes, save a few. And maybe look into us drafting (or a FA pick up) a return specialist. We haven't had a good kickoff or punt returner since.... Hell, I'd say Rock Cartwright.

Re: Skins cowboys postgame
 

We signed a new special team warm body.

All those yards except for Sunday night have been pretty much junk yards in the 2nd half.

We also added S/CB Trenton Robinson to the active roster

Re: Skins cowboys postgame
 

What happened to that short little guy we had returning punts?

Re: Skins cowboys postgame
 

^ Banks?

Re: Skins cowboys postgame
 

[quote=firstdown;1033233]What happened to that short little guy we had returning punts?[/quote]

Thompson? He's back on inactive.

Looks like the Thompson as a returner, experiment is over.

Re: Skins cowboys postgame
 

I was talking about Banks. At least when he was back there I felt we had a chance for a big return.

Well Kehl and Sunberg are done for the year

Re: Skins cowboys postgame
 

ahhh, right. Forgot about that. So is Monty going to be the long snapper too?

I assume so

Re: Skins cowboys postgame
 

[quote=firstdown;1033241]I was talking about Banks. At least when he was back there I felt we had a chance for a big return.[/quote]

We released him during the off-season didn't we?

I dunno other than Rock Cartwright it seems like whoever we have back there returning kicks starts regressing instead of getting better.

I'm not sure if that's due to our poor special teams players/blocking, poor special teams coaching or just having really bad luck with kick returners.

Re: Skins cowboys postgame
 

Banks is garbage.

Crawford was looking like a potential bright spot, until he got hurt of course.

Re: Skins cowboys postgame
 

We need to put Hall back there. As a veteran, I'm sure he knows how to field the ball and not run sideways; plus, he's got plenty of speed.

I feel like they're tentative to put Moss or Hall back there just because they're main guys that are crucial to keep healthy. Hall, more so than Moss. But can't risk them getting blown up and injured.

I'd rather put Santana Moss as a returner. It'd be easier to replace Santana, since I think we have good depth at WR (though I'd hate for him to get hurt returning kicks).

Re: Skins cowboys postgame
 

anyone but josh morgan, I mean dude is slow

Re: Skins cowboys postgame
 

Why don't we have Niles Paul returning kicks? He was doing it for awhile before he got the butterfingers. Dude couldn't catch and now he can't run back kicks. Meh.

Re: Skins cowboys postgame
 

niles paul won't be on the team next yr

Re: Skins cowboys postgame
 

I'm thinking a lot of people won't be. Too many warm bodies, not enough potential.

Re: Skins cowboys postgame
 

[quote=DynamiteRave;1033280]I'm thinking a lot of people won't be. Too many warm bodies, not enough potential.[/quote]
Well........we will have 18m additional to shore up some badly needed trouble area's. Can't revamp the entire squad....but should be able to make substantial impact.
And on a positive note, we won't have to worry about paying a first round draft pick....

Re: Skins cowboys postgame
 

[quote=RedskinRat;1033226]The key to revitalizing the ST is to get B-Mitch involved. FACT![/quote]

I've never thought about that, why isn't he now or ever been hired on to coach ST's? Wonder if he has ever shown the interest, or maybe its just not his thing. But he's got a lot of fire, and I think thats necessary to get people up to play special teams, and make big plays. Hmmm?

I agree,Moss needs to be returning punts.For some reason skins have always been afraid to use starters as returners dating back to Gibbs while other teams had no problems with it.Rod Woodson did it for years.When was the last time a returner on any team got hurt returning kicks?I'm sure its happened sometime but i cant think of a for instance.
Were not using Aldrick Robinsons speed catching passes why not returning kickoffs?

Re: Skins cowboys postgame
 

Jordan Pugh was released.

Also they signed Kyle Nelson as a long snapper. I guess they don't trust any of our current lineman to get it done.

Nice.

This season there has been zero wrong with Alfmo: 377 yards for a 5.2 ypc. That 5.2 YPC is ranked #2 among #1 RB backs. Ben Tate only avg more at 5.3. McCoy is at 5.1 and Reggie Bush at 4.8.

With the offense, Alfmo is the least of our worries.

Re: Skins cowboys postgame
 

yeah Alf is a stud

Re: Skins cowboys postgame
 

that said, if you don't run alfmo, then it doesn't matter how good he is. 75yds/game is a bit low.

I agree, thats where coaching comes in...the first couples games we were down so quickly, had to throw to get out of that hole.

Like some been saying, its not a talent issue with this team

What?
I meant that it may be true athletes in general are in it for the money, but how is that specific to the Redskins.
Were you referring to my comment or Gus's comment as trolling?


Were living in yesterdays tomorrows.

Re: Skins cowboys postgame
 

Some of the runs we call are so counter productive its not alf's fault at all IMO ... playcalling is killing our offense at critical times
