LG, C . #1WR , Injured #1 TE, ? in the secondary. I do have high hopes for Dunbar and Montae but DJ scares me and Norman isn't getting any younger.

A 33 year old dude who had two practices under his belt probably became our #1 running back, I doubt our training staff can keep him glued together.

I personally see holes in coaching. I don't think we have the d coordinator or scheme, nor a good enough pass rush (just hasnt been displayed yet i hope im wrong but the front 7 has lacked creativity for YEARS) to keep our young secondary from getting lost or just getting gassed...... i think that Jay is just mediocre but shows some flashes of briliance while calling. Hes a scared coach in a lot of bad situations. ... I honestly think with a different coaching staff this roster, may be more successful. But my record prediction, goes with youth in certain units, but mostly on coaching.

I can subscribe to this, especially describing Gruden as a scared coach. I'm willing to give the DLine a pass because last year before Allen and Ionnaidis went out our D was a different animal.

I still think talent wise, our team is in the top 8 of the NFL

Yep. I think it will take some time to gel and with the turnover we've had I expect another slow start.

L wk 1 at Cardinals
W wk 2 Colts
L wk 3 Packers
Tie wk 4 BYE
L wk 5 at Saints
L wk 6 Panthers
W wk 7 Cowboys
W wk 8 at Giants
L wk 9 Falcons
W wk 10 at Bucs
W wk 11 Texans
W wk 12 at Cowboys
L wk 13 at Eagles
W wk 14 Giants
L wk 15 at Jaguars
L wk 16 at Titans
W wk 17 Eagles

8-8 ... Slow start, strong middle season and then, after fighting back to 7-6 with a shot at the playoffs, two late season out-of-conference losses let them slip away and we close out the season with a meaningless win against the Eagles.

Wrong Wrong Wrong Wrong


Skins finally win a season opener under Gruden, and ASmith doesn't fade like Cousins. His drive to get further in the playoffs leads this team on a winning streak deep into the playoffs, NFC Championship is in our grasp till Gruden goes for 5 FG's at the 3 yard line and we lose the divisional playoff 21 - 15

I will drink the Kool-Aid after they go 3-0. If not, I refuse to buy into this team/coach yet again.

As for their holes: run blocking. Whether its talent, scheme, OL, WR, or TE's, they have not consistently blocked well for the RB's. Not that our RBs have been anything to write home about, but I think our "yards before contact" has consistently been one of the worst in the league.

I remember CT finding holes just fine, and Brandon Scherff blasting people 5-10 yards downfield.

TE's you are correct sir.

Losing Guice was a big hit (if he played to expectations) and I don't think AP fills it perfectly (or that Gruden will use him right)

This talk that All Day doesn't have it anymore is overblown. Jump-Stop and bounce, homie.

I think he could really be a strong addition if healthy.

[Schneed10]

Please watch that All-22 breakdown I just linked to. A couple pertinent points:

- On the first play, he jump stops as the LB fills the hole and escapes to the left. Neither Kelley nor Perine have the ability to make that play. They may jump stop as the LB approaches, but they're not agile enough to explode from the stop and break away to the left.

- On the second play, the Iso Lead, note fullback JP Holtz meets the LB in the hole between Roullier and Scherff. There's very little space in that hole, since Holtz was met at the point of attack. AP squirts through what looks like no hole. That's what NFL runners have to do, and it's what Perine and Kelley can't do. Perine especially was used to massive holes at Oklahoma. In the NFL you have to find space, and sometimes make some yourself. All Day finds a crack just wide enough to wiggle through.

- On the third play that was more Vernon's quality block on Chubb that sprung that play than anything Peterson did. But that's why he'll succeed as a Redskin - the blocking here is better than what he had his last two seasons in Minnesota and anything he had in Arizona.

All Day goes 4.3+ yards per carry and 1000+ yards on the season. Book it.

And don't call it Kool Aid unless you bring me some All 22, haters.

I'll call it kool aid until the sample size is bigger and we talkin bout the regular season, not jus practice, man.

We talkin bout practice.... man... Lol but nah I agree I think he has the vision and ability to act quickly enough on what he will see in this offense to have a big year for us. Hoping his durability holds up and he'll be off to the races. Pun intended.

Good link, good post.

Sidenote: Baldinger is having a show called "GamePass Film Session" on the NFL Gamepass, not Cooley's Film Breakdown's quality, but still pretty interesting!

I do think Vernon has been blocking better this PS than he was the previous years, am I right?

Don't know if he checks the "bad-ass FB" box, but TE JP Holtz has been doing the job at FB, maybe he has earned a roster spot?

[MTK]

I have no doubt AP can still play, can he hold up over the course of the whole season? That’s the only question I have. I wouldn’t bet against him.
