Five Things I Want to See the Redskins Do

[12thMan]

1. I'd like to see guys getting a little more upset on the sidelines after three and outs. Seems like they just remove their helmets and wait for the next possesion.

2. I'd like to see Joe Gibbs a tad bit more animated. I know, I know it's not his style. But I can't remember him going over a signal, a formation, or anything on a clipboard on the sidelines with players. You know, I don't see the one on ones. I think that communicates that you're engaged and you want the players to be too.

3. I'd like to see Portis get 25 carries in a game this year - once.

4. I'd like to see a few more late hits on quarterbacks. I know that sounds bad, but you asked me.

5. I'd like to see more of London Fletcher grabbing this defense by the lapels like he did during the Arizona game.

I'll leave you with David Ortiz words to his teammates after the Red Sox were down 1-2 to Cleveland. "The reason you're wearing this uniform is because you're a bad ass motherf**ker."

THE ONE THING I WANT TO SEE:

Stop coaching scared so the team can finish a damn game after a strong start. Dare I say, run up the score a little before throttling down. The Skins let 3 teams (NY, GB, Arizona) off the hook with timid 2nd half efforts. But for Neil Rackers miss, all three would have been losses.

We won the Arizona game, "almosts" don't put an asterix next to a "W." With regard to the GB game, I didn't see the coaches screw things up or get timid. The players screwed that one up royally. Moss dropping a 50+ yard bomb in the 2nd half, or fumbling one for a TD on a reverse, cost us that game and neither play was conservative.

The coaches definitely could get more aggressive, but I don't think conservative coaching is to blame for more than 1 loss. They could have coached the best game of their lives against New England and we still would have gotten beaten. They could have coached the NYG game differently, but that's the only game where the coaching arguably cost us a game.
