Plusses and Minuses vs. Browns
 

Let's focus on the players.

[U]Plus[/U]

Moses - Big improvement. Looks like the starter at RT.
Jones - Nice power running. Showed instincts and toughness.
RGIII - Showed more poise. Seemed more decisive.
Murphy - Improved pass rush. Looks solid.
Trenton Robinson - Nice game. Tackled well.
Culliver - Leader on the field. Aggressive and tough.

[U]Minus[/U]

Paul - His injury really hurts the team.
DHall - Not moving well. He's not ready to start yet, IMO.
Forbath - Short kickoffs are a big problem.
Roberts - Poor return man. Fumbles on returns. Made some nice catches on offense.

Preston Smith was a plus as well. Thought he played great.

[B]Running back Silas Redd will undergo an MRI in the morning for a knee injury that is believed to be tears to his anterior cruciate and medial collateral ligaments, NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport reported. [/B]



Anyone have a good link that shows unsigned free agent tight ends?

Re: Plusses and Minuses vs. Browns
 

Smith looked good and the oline looked good as well. Kinda disappointed in the D letting Cleveland get 7 on the opening drive but it's PS can't think too much into it.

Re: Plusses and Minuses vs. Browns
 

Losing Paul is a killer not only at TE but special teams.

Griffin's bomb to Garçon was on the money, he's gotta make that catch.

I agree on all points. that drop was a killer for Robert. If PG had caught that it been a good boost of confidence for Robert.

The Paul lost just plan blows.

Well that PI was suspect on Culliver that moved them into the red zone. That didn't help

Re: Plusses and Minuses vs. Browns
 

I will add Kirk Cousins as a plus and McRib as a minus. Would like to replace Lauvao with Long.

Re: Plusses and Minuses vs. Browns
 

Plus: Kirk Cousins is still really good.

Re: Plusses and Minuses vs. Browns
 

Kirk always plays well in the preseason, I'm finding it hard to be excited about him right now.

The Garcon play was definitely more Garcon's fault than Griffin's, but the ball needed to be up the field another 5 yards or so. You saw Garcon have to break stride and turn back to the ball.

If Garcon had only a step or two on his man (open in the NFL) instead of wide open because of blown coverage, that ball would have been intercepted. Griffin is still inconsistent on the deep ones.

But yeah, Garcon got his hands on it and just doofed it. His fault more than anybody's.

Maybe the biggest surprise last night.

Thought we played the run well...

Re: Plusses and Minuses vs. Browns
 

With Kirk, he was extremely decisive, something he always is. But the sample size here is small. The problem with Kirk was never decisiveness and knowing the offense, the problem is turnovers. He's prone to INTs - bad ones.

This sample size is too small to conclude that he's taken steps to eliminate those.

Gotta say, can't wait to see what we look like with Desean Jackson in the lineup. The play action passing game was working because of the run success. And with Jackson's speed you don't even need the safety to bite, all it takes is a tiny nibble, a tiny hesitation, and Jackson will toast him every time.

I like our chances at getting Jackson for several very long TD bombs on play action fakes.

Crowder too...speed guy in the slot with djax on the outside?

I really got on Roberts last night after the fumble but damn if he didn't look great at receiver. I think Ryan grant is gonna be a starter in the league. Our wr corp is strong.



I think we still got something's to work out in our interior oline.
