Just plain ugly

Randel El looked great, I'd love to see some more of that throughout the season. The ground game looked great, I loved how they juggled RBs (except that time Betts did all the work and Portis got put in right by the redzone. Let Betts finish that off!)

We need more on our passing game. It's a waste if we have to keep Cooley in to block, he's not a blocker. He's an offensive weapon. On another positive note, I saw Betts make 2 very nice blocks, something he was terrible at last year.

Defense looked great on run D. Pass D I'm not as worried as everyone else. I have a few questions, 1) Where are all those GWill blitzes I love to see? 2) Is it me or did 53, 21, and 30 seem to be more or less not near the ball all day? Maybe that was a gameplan, I have no clue. But I didn't see those three get much done.

It's very hard for a pass D to look good when Trent Green has all day to find an open receiver. We have some positive to look at, but we have a lot more negative to look at. It's going to be a very tough week in practice for these guys.

I agree with everything except what I put in bold.
Blocking is the key to winning, if we need our TE to block, then his ass needs to block. Had it not been for the drops, we would all be talking about this "high powered" offense...so what Saunders is doing is working.

ps- I said before that Cooley would have an off season offensively due to the fact that the Skins signed him too early, he has nothing to fight for now...when before he was fighting for a contract. I love the guy, don't get me wrong, but we aren't going to see Cooley as much as we have in the past.
