Skins vs Jags Pregame Style

As I said, last year's team couldn't/wouldn't tackle for anything. In one outing this season, the team showed more tackling savvy then all last year (and yes they still blew it on the 71yd TD). It's something a new coach can build on, and hopefully change.

The point is: Turnovers killed us. They always do. We are not good enough to overcome them. The number of turnovers must be reduced. The worst type of turnovers (punt blocks, Red Zone fumbles, etc.) must be virtually eliminated.

Turnovers don't just happen randomly to all teams. The Redskins can greatly reduce them. For example, as Niles Paul broke free, he could have wrapped both arms around the ball to ensure that we kept possession. His catch was at a critical point in the game when he needed to protect the ball. Fate didn't intervene; he just had a brain fart and ****ed up.

Preach bro. I hope Gruden is screaming the same thing this week.

Point is, it's the first game with a new head coach. The team as a whole did look better, but a lot of brain farts. So now we see what type of coach Gruden can be. How he handles them. Let's remember two facts:

A) Joe Gibbs 1 went 0-5 (thanks JR for reminding me of that)
B) Jim Zorn 1 (and only) went 6-2.

There will be growing pains, but right now, I put Gruden closer to Joe Gibbs then Jim Zorn.

Sunday's game reminded me of that a lot. In Gibbs' first five games, we beat people on the field but not on the scoreboard. The reason was stupid errors. It all was just like the Texans game, where we won the game on the field but not on the scoreboard.

Once Gibbs got the errors cleaned up, the rest was glorious history.

Let's see if Gruden can clean things up.

Gibbs was also trying to go with an "Air Coryell" type of offense at first. Once he discovered that The Redskins could dominate by using the run game with Riggo and The Hogs, things turned around.

I remember I went to the SF game in 1981, Gibbs first year. Theismann was throwing the ball like every play and the fans were just relentlessly booing the hell out of everyone. Several fans had bags over their heads. lol.

That's the kind of offense JKC wanted, to put fans in the seats and make the game exciting. Snyder says now he wants a certain type of offense, and he'd get blasted for it. But I digress...

True, but Snyder has bought that on himself
