Skins vs. Cards Positives + Negatives

[jamf]

I'm going to raked over the coals for saying this but I would like to see a better RB in there.
There was a play where Morris could have bounced the play outside to open field with one defender but he wont attempt to make people miss and he just cut it back into the pile.

So one play? The dude is second only to AP in almost every stat since he joined the league. Gotta feed him the ball. He is theee absolute furthest thing from a problem in the entire organization.

I think teams are set on shutting Morris down. They overload the box to either stop Morris or overwhelm our offensive line.

Here is my list of fixins:
Fire Haz - its message sending time. Promote someone from within on a trial basis and if need be address for real in the offseason.
As many others have said make BA strictly a $ guy. First order of business in the offseason is to find a true GM with an eye for talent.
Give Almo the effin ball.
Make sure at all costs Rak does not sign!
Draft Oline and DB's ONLY.
Hit on a couple key free agents - focus on the front 7 ONLY. We do not need rb's, wr's, k's, p's.
If they do all of this, and wait for it.........RG-3 can be RG-3 when he comes back (God that is thee biggest issue...again) than this team has a chance to not suck for years to come.
I really do expect all of this to happen, I just dont see how it cannot.
Edit: except Griff I mean. That is out of anybodies control. The rest of the stuff is all possible it just has to be carried out.

Didnt get to see the game,just finished watching the 30 minute game rewind.
From my observations I thought the defense played pretty good.They got so close to sacking Palmer several times but just couldnt close the deal.3 guys had Palmer sacking him and he still got the pass off.
Morris does not look slow to me,he looks as good as he ever has,Morris is not the problem,if he was behind Dallas's line he would be tying Jim Browns record also.
Didnt look like a fumble by Roberts,bad call
Terrible call on the pass interference on Breeland
Defense kept us in the game and Cousins took us out of it

Good post. Seemed that way to me, too. Helps to watch the game a few days later. If I had watched it live I would have thrown my TV through the plate glass window. Bottom line: we had FOUR turnovers in the 4th quarter! That's the stat that matters.

One thing I do know because I've seen it several times before in the NFL: A new DC can make a big difference in a short period of time if the change is made during the season.

HOWEVER, isn't Haslett close with Jay Gruden? Didn't Gruden play for him or coach under him or something? Is Haslett the Gruden family's adopted uncle? I don't know the exact relationship but I don't get the feeling that Jay would be willing to make a change of DC's anytime soon.

Besides, wasn't the bad defense under Shanahan really Shanny's fault because he wouldn't let Haslett "turn loose" the pass rushers?

Regardless of what happened during Haslett's years under Shanahan, I can't explain away the remaining decades of his mediocrity as a DC. Perhaps it was due to global warming.

How dare you! The Florida Huskers or Tuskers or Whatevers had a great D! Great! Well atleast I think they did. Im not sure because I dont know who they are, but Haslett was there and he is amazing!

I apologize. Forget my previous post. Haslett is a great DC and if our defense is poor it is in no way attributable to the current DC. In fact, there is nobody on planet Earth who could do a better job than Jim Haslett.

I have a t-shirt that says this exact same thing. Crazy.

Is Sean McVay the right guy for the Skins? Is he the guy who turns RG3 into that pocket passer? I have my doubts

Offense has been the biggest issue this season, yet no one is scrutinizing the offense because they are too busy bitching about the defense.

I personally question the offensive play calling in light of the fact that we have such weak offensive line. Teams are very aggressive in stopping the run and trying to disrupt the passing. I don't know why we don't throw more slants or screen passes to take advantage of the opposing defense's aggressiveness. It seems that the team waits until the late in the 3rd or 4th quarter, to throw a screen pass to Roy Helu that goes for like 40 yards. We also can't seem to convert 3rd and short situations, I know this past Sunday there were about two or three (maybe more) situations, where we couldn't convert in short yardage situations.

The offense doesn't get a pass, our OL is still terrible, Forster hasn't done anything to improve our young G and T (Bugel would have) we have a rookie OC finding his way. I question Forster.

If he is related to the McVay football family that worked in Tampa Bay, that is all that is required of him. We are now Tampa Bay North, as if the Bucs have won anything in this century.

Note to Bruce Allen:

The Redskins are not a ****ing coaching family reunion!!!

This is what bothers me. We have become a "good Ole boy" team.
We need to hire the best person for the job not payback favors.
