When to/not to BLITZ!

[BDBohnzie]

Warner had all day to throw yesterday, especially in the 2nd half when the Skins played with more of a cushion. With no lead safe, I believe the Skins should have sent an extra guy in here and there to put a bit more pressure on the QB.

The Skins' offense needs to start pushing forward and eating the clock more. 5 of 11 drives were 3 and out. With 3 of those coming in the 4th quarter. I cannot believe that with the kickoff return Cartwright had in the 2nd half, that the offense could not put the nail in the coffin. 28-6 and the tone would have been set. Coming away with nothing there shifted the momentum the other way.

GW has run the same defense 3 weeks in a row now. If you give Brady that kind of time next week, he is going to completely destroy this defense.

I dont think it's a question on when to and when not to blitz, it's a question of this offense moving the ball and keeping the Big MO on their side. The Skins escaped by the skin of their teeth yesterday. at New England, at NY Jets, vs. Philly, at Dallas, at Tampa. 5 big games that will determine if the Skins are in the playoff hunt, or if they are going to be watching games at home come January.
