I don't understand the hating on Jacobs, he played great last week, it's not like he's dropping balls or necessarily not getting open, but he's what, the 4th option in this offense? Moss, Cooley, Portis, then Jacobs? That makes it kinda tough to get a lot of balls thrown your way, week before he had a good game.

I think Jacobs could be a good receiver but lets give him a legitimate chance to get the ball in his hands and make plays. I didn't like the first week when we tried him on fly routes. When he came out of college his strength was the routes he ran. They were great and really made him a first round pick (till he had the flu at the combine and bombed.) I want to see him running some crisp routes and be the #1 option a few times. Especially since teams know we don't use him much he could punish some people along the stretch.

I will be the first to admit that playcalling is slowly getting better. We're seeing a lot more runs to the outside for big gains (imagine that), like a previous poster I'd like to see the skins try to get their hands on a fullback who could improve the running game a bit more. I like Sellers more as a pass catcher than a blocker, but he's okay for the time being.

I would like to see us go three wide more often, and I really think we need at least one big receiver (see Vincent Jackson in last year's draft) that you could get for leaping abilities. I'd like to see us go through the middle a bit more, and I'd like to see us try to finish teams off a bit earlier instead of just trying to kill clock. I'm not looking for a Spurrier-esque offense, but that playcall to Royal was great. I was expecting run up the middle and Royal really came through made a good run and catch which I think MIGHT have won the game for us in the grand scheme of things.

I'd like to see the Redskins improve in a few areas, namely establish another #2 receiver, be it someone on the team, via draft, or via free agency, but I really think we need to make teams double Moss but lay awake wondering what #2 will do 3 days before the game. I think that Royal is okay, and minus that one absolutely pathetic game has played pretty darn well this year, but a big name TE could really help us in a division that isn't known for safeties/linebackers able to cover great TEs, if we could use a TE to open up the middle a bit I think Portis would reap the benefits greatly.

I really like how the last two weeks we've been sending Portis outside a lot more. Still hate the 3 runs of the middle that we still do from time to time trying to kill clock. In order to win down the stretch, we're going to have to find enough offense to put the Giants and Cowboys into bad situations. Our defense isn't what it was last year, but it's more than respectable, if we can put opponents into bad situations, we really have a good chance to get more turnovers.

In other news, Carlos Rogers looking like an all-pro, I still think BMW was our guy, but Rogers is amazing in the run and seems to have a nose for the ball. We may want to spend a 3rd or 4th round pick on a project CB to take over for Harris at nickle in a couple years, but Im really liking Rogers taking Springs #1 spot in two or less years.

For those of you who don't want to read the above rants: playcalling isn't great but HAS been improving the last few weeks. Portis is earning his cash, Royal had one bad game but he's been solid enough, need to give Jacobs a legitimate shot at grabbing some balls, if he can't do it, we need to establish a #2 that defenses have to scheme around. I'd also like to see us put more formations and run more plays out of each formation, little more creativity in the routes our receivers run.
WE WANT DALLAS.
