Skins vs Seasquawks Positive and Negatives

[diehardskin2982]

The Red Zebra media seems to always give Haslett a pass. He doesn't make adjustments and needs to be let go. Give Morris a shot to run the defense. Can't call games and play them scared. Throw to open up the run. It seems that opposing defenses are game planning for the Run.

That's a trap. Morris has had 0 experience in running a 3-4. I'd rather keep Haz until the end of the season.

They need to attack and not play soft at the beginning of games.

The major things that stood out to me between these two teams last night were team speed and the play in the trenches. We were just outmanned in those areas. I hope in year 2 Gruden continues to upgrade both lines.

I agree with that statement. We need to get better up front on both sides of the ball. Not having Barry Cofield and Bowens in the trenches hurts our D-Line depth this season. I don't see bringing back Bowen at his salary unless he takes a pay cut. We need to up grade at RT over Polumbus . Morgan Mosses needs to get a long look to see if he can play at some point along with the guard Long.

Moses whiffed his first play in. Polumbus usually gets his hands on them before the sack.

Compton came in right after the whiff.


Long looks aren't possible when ends are getting free runs to our qb.

The Moses whiff was hard to watch.
The man never put his hands on a defensive player the whole play.

The good, the bad, and the ugly from Redskins vs. Seahawks | Rich Tandler's Real Redskins

—The postgame locker room atmosphere was not exactly festive but in the opinion of many in the media there was too much laughter and joking around going on among players for a team that just lost to fall to 1-4. You don’t necessarily want the atmosphere to be funeral-like after a loss but it should be a bit more somber than it was.

<sigh> Definitely a negative...



Why was the defense so night and day at times? If we weren't forcing one of our 9 3-and-outs, we were letting Wilson and Lynch walk all over us. That said, the defense played well enough to win. Meanwhile, the offense outside of Jackson was at very best mediocre, and that dumb little squib kick thing concocted by Forbath and Gruden was part of the reason.

I laugh at the people who are saying we should have went for it on 4th down deep in their territory. WTF is really all I can say. You take those points and you be happy against the best defense in the league. When our defense had a chance to stop the Seahawks on 3rd-and-4 late in the game with us down by only 7, I was extremely grateful Gruden had taken the points. It was the smart thing to do.

Loved DeSean Jackson. If not for him, this game would have been a blowout. And this was against a good defense... I thought he disappeared against good defenses? <sarc>

Morris fumbles more than a lot of backs, but he's still young. In AP's first three years, he fumbled a total of 19 times. Morris has a ways to go to reach that.

Pierre, Pierre...

On to Arizona. We've been competitive in every loss so far except New York, and that was partially at least due to the injuries. Our depth is better than last year, but the injuries have killed us. I'm guessing we'll be really close to full health against the Cardinals. Definitely a winnable game.

Great info, just commenting on the above. If Sherman got away with that pushing frequently, good job by Garcon.

Positives are Kirk looked better,made some great throws and had some drops
Negatives are too many to list
Haz seems to be catching a lot of hell and I am not a fan,but when all your drives start inside the 20 and most of them are 3 and out and the opponent is starting all their drives on the 40 yard line,well your defense is not going to look good.
I havent heard it brought up about the chop block put on Orakpo that made him leave the game.He's lucky that didnt end his season.Looked like the exact same block that the bronco's did to the Cardinal player to knock him out for the year

So no one but me saw this?

^ I did notice that.

I also have noticed that Orakpo seems to get held more than our other pass rushers (and it seems so rarely called). I think it is partly because he is still too wedded to the bull rush, and he's powerful enough that some of the O-linemen are hanging on for life (wheras Kerrigan is good at swim moves and other things that make O-linemen miss). Mastering some other moves may help here, and I recall that this was supposed to be a priority this year. But the Redskins should take stills from every game and send them to the league -- they could probably show easily a half dozen egregious instances where Rak has been held with no call.

I like how the thread title doesn't plural (pluralize?) Positive, but does Negatives
