Week 3: Redskins vs. Rams Gameday thread

[SFREDSKIN]

Trent coming back next week should help, Moss seems to be the only receiver out there. I would promote Austin get rid of Roydell Williams, put Devin Thomas out there and concentrate on running the ball. On defense, Haslett has to find a way to stop the run and adjust on those short passes.

Why watch postgame

U guys still say no to Jackson? Not that it matters

[GusFrerotte]

Haslett needs to stop the non stop blitzing and learn to play zone.

This loss was worse than the loss to the Lions last year. At least, we didn't get blown out then. Many cited that loss as the turning point of the season, right into the crapper. So, is this it for the Skins this season? We headed for another top five pick?

I think we are, this team sucks. Unless a miracle happens, it is a top 5 pick.

Check out the QBs (and some RBs) we face.

Yes, Andrew Luck is smart, unlike SEC players who bank their entire future on a pro football career (sorry can't go a week without a slight towards Gods bible belt conference). Luck has stated he will not enter the draft until he graduates from Stanford which won't happen in time for next years draft. Personally I wish that more players were like that, but then again not all of them are working for a degree from Stanford.

That's such a weak generalization. Don't hate on the great.

Why do you think Austin would help so much? I know Armstrong was out today, but he hasn't been so impressive when he was in. If Austin was the real deal he would be on the squad. Austin was a BS pick they made, as he was one of the best available, which wasn't saying much.

What kills me is that Shanahan didn't even give Devin Thomas a single ****ing snap on offense.

Just to clarify that slight was not directed at anyone attending Vanderbilt, especially since I had a cousin that played LAX there, lol.

Is he referring to Terrance Austin!? That guy is a bum and makes no difference to this team.

If given the chance I think he would contribute, at this point what other options are there at WR? Have Galloway, Williams done anything? Time to go with the young guys. What have they got to lose?
