Problems with the Defense, IMHO

Honestly, I think a fair amount of the blame can be put on Frost for not kicking good punts when he needed to.

Thank you. I have been saying this the past few weeks. This guy might hit a good one every 5 punts. The punting yesterday was awful. The one that he needed to get down the field at the end of the game, was an awesome 31 yards, giving the Raiders the ball on our 45 or so. Tupa last year would keep the field posting in our favor ALL GAME. I think our punting game has been over looked. Its awful. The guy is a killer in terms of field position.

I believe our Defensive unit played better regarding the pass coverage. Moss never really got into a groove and pissed off most of the game. How does Marshall, a Middle LB, get assigned to cover Porter? That is twice in the past couple of games teams have got that match up. Last week in Tampa he was beet down the middle of the field by a WR,(galloway) and this week. What kind of defensive call is that? And again, late in the game we are blitzing when we have gotton absolutely no pressure on the QB all day. And again we give up two or three big plays at the end of the game when we need to control the Raiders and keep them infront of us. But we blitz, and get burned for 30 by moss. Blitz again and get beat by Jordan out of the backfield for 20. Its the same ole story game after game.

Gibbs deserves some blame too. 4th quarter, up by 3, with little over 7 minutes left. Three straight passes? what the hell is that. Portis was averaging alost 5 yards a carry and we come out 3 straight passes, two of them deep down the field. That is horrible. And again, I think we get the ball back, and again throw the ball two of the three downs. We got out coached, first, and out played second.

Didn't Gibbs catch hell from a lot of us last week for running late in the game? Now we throw and he's still hearing it from us. Guess it just goes to show the most popular decision is the one that works.

Not from me buddy, you can go back and look at the posts I put up. I thought running the ball last week was the right think to do. This week it was the right thing to do also. dont throw me under the bus in regards to jumping on the ship every week. I call it like I see it. We should have been able to grind out 2 stinking yards last week, didn't and lost. We should have run the ball this week, and we didn't. Portis I think had like 6 to 8 carries in the second half. And we are freakin winning. We were plaing like we were down 13 points instead of up 3. It was bad play calling, nothing else. You dont come out and throw the ball 3 straight times, with 7 min to go in the game, and leading. its flat out rediculous!! Then, GW and again blitzes late, and again we get burned down the field. Moss on the 20 yarder on the side line, then Jordan coming out of the back field. Dont they watch any gamefilm and keep track of Norv and what he does. Go back to his days in Dallas, Miami, and now the Raiders, the back always catches balls out of the back field. He obviously watched our tapes and knew when we were blitzing and knew he had that play in his pocket and used it at just the right time. Good call on his part. and bad call on our D again this week. And the punter isn't getting off easy either, he sucks donkey dicks. This guy could n't punt the ball 40 yards with wind at his back. All day long he is punting the ball 30 yards. At the end of the game, when we needed a deep punt to pin them inside their 30, he hits a long ball of 31 yards and they start at midfield. Last year, Tupa kept the field position in our favor. This is two weeks in a row, late in the game our punter has given our D a very short field to work with.

I wasn't calling you out specifically, just saying it's funny how both sides of the coin get played week to week.

I think the problem is that the redskins don't play with intensity and at 100% the whole game. The offense gets complacent when they are up and only tries to turn it up when they are behind. The defense is the same way - they usually wait until the other team is in the redzone and then they start to get fired up. That's why the score is always close - except for the San Fran game.

BTW, I don't believe in ever giving 110% - there is no such thing as giving MORE than your all. Hey redskins, where's your heart ? The redskins fans have more passion and heart than the players right now.
