Anyone worried???

That Guy · 09-27-2004, 02:01 PM

but bowen started to finally nail guys in the DIFFERENT color jerseys, though he still blows chunks in pass coverage... its soo bad.

illdefined · 09-27-2004, 02:07 PM

we've got a bigger, faster hitter in Taylor. we need speed and coverage back there, else we can't terrorize the qb with the blitzes

Sheriff Gonna Getcha · 09-27-2004, 02:13 PM

As to Gardner's critics - did anyone see that 50-yarder he caught where he really had to lay out to get it....sick. I know he drops some easy ones, but he also makes some amazing catches (hence his nickname 50-50).

Gibbs obviously thinks enough of Gardner to start him ahead of James Thrash, Taylor Jacobs, and Darnerien McCants.

Yeah I saw that, definitely a sweet catch, problem is I also saw him drop a TD pass a few plays later.

I am a little worried, yes. If I were the roids, I'd line up the tightend AWAY from Warner (making that the weakside), pull the fullback, and run at Warner and Marshall. They are both undersized, and a power game should be able to pressure them. This is a big reason why it's important for us to dictate tempo on offense and get ahead in this game. It'll keep them from runingn over the weakened area of the D.

But I'm sure Coach Williams knows all this and more. Ultimately, I have faith that he'll have this group of guys ready to kick ass.

Yeah, also, with all the talk of E George, don't discount the rookie RB Lee that they have in there now since Jones is out. That (him coming out of nowhere with a big game) would be the typical kind of scenario that could bite us in the ass. But with that said, I have complete confidence that Williams will account for everything so the D will "just stop 'em!"

Big C · 09-27-2004, 02:14 PM

how we all turn on bowen afer his awesome first game...

Sheriff Gonna Getcha · 09-27-2004, 02:15 PM

I haven't liked Bowen that much since he doesn't play well in coverage. But, I too am surprised at how Bowen's supporters seem quiet or even critical of him.

against no-threat receivers he blitzed well when no one expected it. but after the novelty wore off and offenses caught wind of it, he's back to his ineffective self.

That Guy · 09-27-2004, 02:18 PM

its not turning on him, we all know (i think), bowen sucks at coverage... he's a run D/blitzing guy, not a CB...

celts32 · 09-27-2004, 04:21 PM

I am very worried. Parcels always gave Gibbs problems even when Gibbs had big game tested teams. Gibbs has 2 games under his belt this time around and an offense that has done nothing yet. Anyone who says they are not worried has their head burried in the sand. I wish they had not sh*t the bed in the Meadowlands last Sunday so that they would have a little more room for error tonight. This is going to be a very tough game for the Skins to win tonight...

celts32 · 09-27-2004, 04:34 PM

Gardner has been a dissapointment. Yes, Gibbs is starting him now because he has the most talent. It's only been 2 games so far. I don't expect that Gibbs will sit back though for 16 games and watch him keep dropping passes. An NFL WR needs to make that TD catch against the Giants 100 out of 100 times. That was inexcusable...

SkinsRock · 09-27-2004, 04:41 PM

I think most of us are on the same page with Gardner. Hopefully he will prove us wrong tonight and have a great game, and if not, next week he should be sitting on the bench.

ChillWill · 09-27-2004, 04:50 PM

I'm worried about covering those big, fast receivers. This will be the biggest test so far for Smoot.

S. Taylor may prove effective against Meshawn.

CrazyCanuck · 09-27-2004, 05:03 PM

- Start Gardner! (I may not say that next week)

- RUSH VINNY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! - I want our D to do to Vinny what the Dallas D did to Ramsey last year.

THIS IS A HUGE GAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LET'S GO SKINS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
