Now that you bring that up I remember that now also, and that's great
I think you may have misunderstood me about McCoy
I know he wasn't bombs away but when given the opportunity to throw deep to Jackson the balls were completed
I wish I had a way to look up the success rate of Kirk and Colt throwing deep to Jackson,I know that's not the case but it seem like it was 100% either by completion or pass interference
I am fine with the short stuff so long as it's getting us first downs and scoring points, that wasn't the case in the Houston game.
Colt was able to come in with very little practice time and complete the throws to Jackson in crunch time against a superior opponent,does that mean I want Colt to start? No that's not what it means
What it does mean is I expect my first string franchise quarterback to be able to come into the game and complete those passes against a bad team like Minnesota

Yeah that's what I said earlier but I read today it's actually five straight years against Minnesota

The team has wised up and played his medical situation very close to the vest.

Didn't that happen against Jacksonville?

I don't care whether we long ball or dink-and-dunk as long as we WIN.

I support a mix of approaches: dink-and-dunk (to help Gryphon with his confidence) plus a few long balls to keep the defense honest.

BTW someone said we didn't sign DJax to catch short passes, when in fact we did. We signed him not just to catch bombs but also to turn short passes into long gainers through YAC.

Agreed. They have a good pass defense / rush, so quick passes / screens initially for a rusty QB coming off an injury would be great. Would love to rely on our running game if it ever gains more than 2 yards a carry for the majority of rushes..


My real fear is that if the rush gets to him & everyone is covered --> that he starts to take off & run again, and get hurt. D.Hall just reinjured himself, and I just hope RG3 can finally keep himself healthy for -- years at a time.

excited to see griffin on sunday.

i hope my faith is not misplaced. i hope he goes out there and blows out the vikings.

i also hope haslett has learned something from monday night. meriweather plays better in the box. the corners play better challenging the receivers. the defense needs the blitz to get pressure and it needs pressure to be successful.

would also be nice to see the special teams play like they're competent.

Minnesota has given up a lot of pressure to just 4 man rushes, so I won't expect another blitz happy game. Haz said last week was a little over the top.

oh great. so exactly what i feared.

haslett will spend the next 8 games thinking he can go back to generating a rush with 4 guys, playing our corners off 10 yards every play, and having our lbs drop into zone coverage over the middle.

because of the first 8 games that worked great more often than not.

You can't keep up blitzing that much, sooner or later you get burned. It worked one game, doesn't mean it should be a season long plan.

You are right, that was fun! But Matty is right, too - if we do it all the time, folks will scheme against it.

I look forward to seeing it again in the playoffs.

He's a dickhead. Always will be. That said, he isn't the problem with what's wrong with the team. I mean ultimately he is, but he's not responsible for the product on the field currently.

That's a pretty bold statement. Alter it how? Even if RGIII career flames out, I doubt it'll alter the franchise for the most part. Well, no more than it was altered by giving away all those picks to St. Louis. That altered this franchise more than anything in my opinion.
