Skins vs DA BEARS pre game thread

[Monkeydad]

Brandon Jacobs came off the street to run all over this D.

Robert will get over 100 yards rushing, Albert goes for 150+.

Yeah Kyle needs to just look at the Giants game, which I'm sure he is. We need to give it to Morris 30 times, Helu 15 and have RG3 carry it 5-6 times. If he can do that this game can be won.

I think if we continue to script plays for Rob to be running, we won't have him ever healthy and to be so bone headed that means we will also have Kyle as the OC. If we ever want to build a winning franchise, than we need to have a system for Rob to mature and be a real QB that drops back and throws to our overpaid targets. If he runs, it better be b/c everyone is covered. We'd be doing us a disservice by enabling the demise of his career. Unless all you want is hype and subway style marketing commercials. Me, I'd rather have a f'kn championship team that doesn't need gimmicks to win. At least look like the sport that originated as lining up man to man and the great slinging Sammy which evolved this sport further by passing. Want QB option? Than tune into smarter nfl teams or NCAA. It has no future to benefit from in DC, really MD, but mostly VA.

This
We all want to win and Rg3 running gives us the best chance but its not whats best for his career.He needs to learn to read defenses and quit locking into 1 receiver.

Now he's Rob?





We need to let him run. He did it to perfection last game, big games and ended the runs safely.

WHY does everyone ignore or forget that he was NOT hurt on any designed runs last year?

If we don't use his legs, we would have been better off drafting Tannehill. We brought him in to run and win. The two cannot be separated, at least until he develops into a pure pocket passer. He can do it, but we'd be wasting his abilities and talent.

Besides, I don't think we could stop him from running if we wanted to. ROBERT is too competitive to sit back in the pocket and ignore opportunities to make plays for his team.

That might not have been a bad idea, drafting him and keeping those picks. But that's another story/thread. I agree...right now, he needs to have designed runs and worry about him trying to be Peyton during the offseason. This offense needs to run the ball simply because that's what we do best. If we get 60 plays I would like to see 40 of them runs. Bears do not have a good run defense.

I dont think anyones forgetting he didnt get hurt on a designed run,but he still got hurt running with the ball so whats the difference?

You want to talk about forgetting things,everyone screaming for him to run seems to be forgetting he's wearing a knee brace because he's had 2 major surgeries on the same knee in 4 years

If the opportunity is there to take off and run and get a big play thats fine.I think what some of us are trying to say is we dont want him running because his 1 receiver he's locked on too is covered and he takes off instead of progressing thru his reads.I'm afraid he's going to turn out like Vince Young instead of Steve Young

Maybe he's not progressing thru his reads because the offensive line is not giving him enough time,I dont know.I guess only him and his coaches know for sure

I am going to go out on a limb -- Skins win big. I think Chicago is overrated. They are 4-2, but the 4Ws come against Minnesota (who is a terrible team, and they won by 1 point), the Steelers (another terrible team, won by 8), the Giants (worse than us and won by only 6), and Cincinnati (a decent team, and they won by only a FG). The two losses -- to the Saints by 8 and to the Lions by 8 (we played the Lions closer, by the way) -- are not shameful, but for the Bears to be considered a very good team, rather than a middle-of-the-road team which I believe them to be, they have to win one of those games.

So we're playing better (or D has been solid two games in a row, and our offense has improved from the first two weeks, although there's room for a lot more improvement), and the Bears are just OK.

I say Redskins 36, Bears 17.

Hail, baby.
