KEYS TO PULLING OFF A WIN in DALLAS

[MTK]

Not sure if I ever made an official prediction. In my gut I guess I'm expecting 10 or 11 wins. Monday didn't change my opinion either. We have some work to do but I'm not jumping off a bridge after one game.

So you never expected for the Redskins to do much more than a game or so better than last year? Now what was it exactly that made your expectations that low?

In my gut, I guess I had them even lower -- 9-7, maybe 8-8. To me, the stars would have to been near perfect alignment for 11 wins or more.

Tough division and schedule.

I can't see anybody in the East winning more than 11.

Tackle. Their WRs and RB are too good for us to give up yards-after-catch.

Another thing we have to do is pound the ball inside. Dallas has alot of speed on defense, trying to run to the outside isn't going to work in this game. Not that it worked very well against the Vikings either.

The keys to winning against Dallas is to completely reverse everything we did wrong, and bad monday night. If we don't reverse the trend, Sunday night will be long. I'm a little worried about this game because I saw some things monday night that cannot be corrected in five days espically when it come to secondary coverage, be it scheme, or personell. Dallas's receivers will pose more of a threat, and by this being a copy-cat league it dosen't take a genius to know what their game plan is going to be, espically in the passing game.

Right. The Dallas interior line is nowhere NEAR as good as the Vikings was.

I think some quick screens are going to be money. It looks like people might not slob on Newman was much as they did last year judging by what Jacksonville did to him. On a side note, did anyone see how Newman basically sexually molested the Jags receivers in the end zone and then whined saying they interfered with HIM?!

newman is horrible. he can run fast but he cant cover for shit.
TMC, not only will quick screens be there all day for the skins, it would be nice to see a pumpfake to moss on a wr screen (drawing the safety up)and then get lloyd or randle el over the top. the cowboys will be super aggressive early in this game and that could be big for us.

Trust me, after week one...Newman and Rogers are in the same boat. Hopefully, after week 2 Rogers can distance himself from this bad game.

I'm leaning toward us dropping this one. I know this is a veteran team and all, but I'm starting to wonder about this team's physche.

We'll see.

and speaking of wr screens, does anybody think randle el will be throwing any passes this weekend? i can see him lining up in the same position that moss did on the first play monday night only to throw it again instead of running it.

I hope so. Burning Dallas is the perfect way to debut the play.

Keys to beating Dallas?

Bombs to Santana Moss.
