Running The Ball This Week

[redskin4n]

I would like to provide some stats, and some analysis off the dome. This is my first thread, but I've been here at the Warpath for a while now.

Redskins Offense (3-2)

We score an average of 17.8 points a game, but we are winning.
We gain an average of 337.2 yards per game.
248.6 of those yards are in the air.
88.6 of those yards are on the ground.

Colts Defense (3-2)

They allow an average of 20.8 points a game.
They allow an average of 345.8 yards a game.
203.6 of those yards are in the air.
142.2 of those yards are on the ground.

Before i continue, I'd like to point out that stats mean virtually nothing right now...(Cowboys), but I just wanted to start off by providing some basic background info.

The key to this game is possession. We have to keep Manning on the sideline as long as possible. How do we do that? Run the ball. It worked in the first quarter against the Eagles, and the Eagles have a better run defense than the Colts. I believe the Chiefs pounded the ball effectively against the Colts on the first drive. I'm not sure if the defense made adjustments, or the chiefs held it back. I couldn't watch that game because the Redskins were playing. lol

I think Kyle will run the ball, and then unleash the play-action on the Colts. I'm not saying we need Torain to run for 231 yards like Foster did, but maybe a 1-2 punch between him, and Keiland/Chad can be effective.

Cheers to 4-2

I think the game will be decided on a big turnover and/or special teams play. Just being conservative won't beat Indy

Being conservative is not Kyle's style and we can still run the ball, control the clock and still be agressive. I dont want to see a continuing trend of McNabb tossing the ball 35+ times...Running the ball effectively puts us in the best position to win on Sunday IMO. And probably is the number 1 key to winning this game and my second key is not let Peyton get into a rhythm against our zone. Haslett got to pick his spots to bring pressure, specifically up the middle in Peyton face.

This would be a great week for BB to get in his J Wall dance routine, twice.

I think our defense will make peyton make a mistake.
Honestly, i believe itll come down to the team that has the ball last.
And I think even if Peyton has the ball last our defense will take it from him!

Maybe overconfidence but we also shut a Packers offensive down that has better athletes across the board.

Yea I really see 46 having a good game BUT it's also on DMac to take advantage of PA

[SirClintonPortis]

We ran it on the Sheagles. We better run it on those horseshoes, or else I'm going to be stirring it up big time this week.

[Texanskin]

i agree with this assesment. Lets run the ball which will make our play action even more deadly

If we score more points we'll win

I think you might be on to something, does anyone else know about this.

Honestly I hope this is Albert's breakout game under the new regime. Manning can be an avg QB when rattled...the monster could help make it happen.

As the zen master says...we'll see.

AH is a non factor and probably will be for the entire season. He is just muddling through 2010 to get traded in the offseason, thus he is going to avoid injury at all cost. Everybody and their brother has been posting about how they think AH is going to break out each week thus far, with the exception of last week, and they only get disappointment. Sure this week hopefully is the exception and the start of the new AH, but I just don't buy it. Orakpo is our new AH and a total beast who wants to excel.

The way to beat Manning is to hit him, he doesn't like that, just ask the Patriots who have beaten often by being physical with him.

I thought that AH played pretty well against the Eagles, especially with collapsing the pocket from the inside.

More like he saved us from the Eagles scoring a TD. The holding call did negate Vick's run to inside the 5.
