WEEK 1 : Redskins vs Dolphins Prediction Thread

[RedskinJake]

I couldn't stand what Lavar Arrington said the other day about people just looking bad when they get to DC, mainly because I think he contributed to a fair amount of his own issues. In the season he played for the Giants (?) I don't recall him blowing anyone away. But.... man it seems like we get a lot of guys who never live up their potential.

Andre Roberts folks...aint doing shit. Big disappointment

... another one of those "I was wrong when ... " moments. Thought he was going to be a really solid pick-up for us. Nope.

D.Jax & Garcon are more of an interchangeable 1A/1B. Imagine if we hadn't signed DJax and Roberts was our No. 2 WR? Yuck.

With cousins, I think Roberts rebounds. Dare i say even lead us in receptions.

Just going off what I remember from last year and this preseason, he does seem to show better with Cousins at QB.

[JoeRedskin]

I don't think Roberts is here next year. May be one of those things where they held onto him b/c rookies, well, are rookies. Crowder looked great but is he REALLY ready to step in? Would love to see him as the No. 3/slot guy by mid-year.

To me, Grant seems like he SHOULD be a slot receiver but I have read several reports saying he doesn't play the slot.

I am concerned about the TE's impact on the run game.
Our TE situation was already sketchy in run blocking w/ Jordan as the starter and Compton as the blocking TE. One doesn't block well and the other can't catch, at all.
Its a dead give away to the defense.

Now with Compton banged up we're in a even tougher spot because we're forced to try and get TE McCoy ready to be blocking TE in a pinch.

Its gonna be interesting to see how they approach the running game.
Will base personnel runs work w/ Jordan blocking the POA?
Will McCoy get enough plays down to contribute?
Or will they use formations without a TE blocking the POA as the base of the run game.
Other WCO teams like Seattle and GB often go I-Form 3 wide with no TE in their run game package.

I hope they get the run game going somehow.

Yeah, TE is a big issue right now especially when you'd really like to have 2 TE's on the field. Hopefully McCoy gets up to speed quick..

It's going to be tough Sunday to run the edge if there's no one there to set the edge. Inside is dead with Suh there. I expect the running game to struggle but hopefully the passing game is clicking enough to keep MIA from bringing the house on every play..

The Dave and Busters in my area has all you can eat wings for $20 and you get a free $10 power card with it.

So even if the Redskins lose, F em, I got wings baby.

Omar Kelly of the Sun Sentinel had an int on the Man cave (espn 980) this morning.
He said "I really don't see the Redskins having any answers for the what the Dolphins bring. I was really hoping for a......better test for the Fins early in the season". He was serious.EVEN if it was true (which is isn't), what a classless....douche.
Note: no offense intended to you other douche's out there.
MC guys were taken back to say the least. BUT sadly they did not call him on it and they should have busted his chops....

I sincerely hope his comments reach the team as I were them, it would seriously....piss me off!!
pisses me off.....

When did the Dolphins become the 85 Bears? I expect a close game, I don't think the Dolphins are nearly as good as some seem to think and the Skins aren't nearly as bad as people think.

For a team that's been 8-8 the last 2 years, you'd think they were 1 game away from the Superbowl..

YO....
I was expecting to hear some rebuttal like that from the MC guys.

And if they hadn't laid an egg against the Pats in the AFC title game, they would have beaten them twice.
