Redskins vs. Jets Preseason game 3 - Gameday Thread

[artmonkforhallofamein07]

I think the explosiveness in the passing game is the breath of fresh air we as Redskins fans have not see in so long.

Another big difference in the offense is not seeing three and outs. We will be able to get better field position just by getting the ball moved 10-20 yards further dwonfield before we punt.

This game we did get gashed a couple of times in the running game but as I watch it now it seems as though that once the D settled into the game a little we are pretty strong.

OR IT WAS THIS:
Once the big man AH got on the field with the first team the run D is much improved. As much as we all want to bash him for all the crap he has done this offseason there is no doubt that this Dline is much more effective with him out there. MUCH MORE EFFECTIVE. He is very disruptive and is allowing other guys on the D to make plays and be just as disruptive.

Watching the Reair of the game right now on NFL Network.

BTW DHall has a chance to league the league in interceptions this year.

I'm not sure you can make that assumption.
Our 3-4 was getting slashed by the run....until....they put 4 or 5 on the line after a quarter or so....did this correspond with Haynesworth playing more...a bit...but I saw a few time Haynesworth single teamed successfully...yes...he penetrated a few times too...and that is good...but he certainly did not look dominant.

What I think is the key is if Haslett learns from this game and plays 4-5 on the line when playing the run. I also noticed a couple linemen from last year that now play LB...when they lined up at end on the line...they tore it up.
Pretty simple...these pass rushers are used to having their hands in the dirt.
I am pretty sure we have yet to establish a rush from the olb position while standing up....this transition is going to take a long time....I hope Haslett doesn't rush it because when we play a scheme close to last year....we do a solid job against the run.
