Five Things I Want to See the Redskins Do

[SouperMeister]

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.
