Skins-Jags Positives and Negatives

[WillH]

I guess they must like what they see in Ihenacho so far. God knows Merriweather will sit some games.

Call me naive, but I honestly didn't think Rambo would be cut this soon. He had two really bad plays, but Haslett had talked about how outside of those, he'd played really well. I figured that would be enough to keep him around.

That said, I do think it's good he was cut. There shouldn't be a spot on any roster for a backup safety who gives up huge plays in relief and doesn't play special teams. His strength was supposed to be ball skills, but on that touchdown to Mercedes Lewis, he showed anything but ball skills.

Rambo must get psyched out on game days. There's no way that he held a roster spot for so long if he plays in practice like he does in games.

I wish him well...on another roster.

Fellow Redskins fan over at /r/nfl did a analysis on all the plays from RGIII and KC. Good stuff.

Nice, thanks for sharing. Does this guy do this stuff after every game? I'll definitely check in throughout the season.

It is good though I didn't get to deep into it. Got stuck at this play by Polumbus (sorry for harping)

At first Polumbus is good, but then for some reason, he just leaves his guy to go help Chester - might be ok, if his guy then didn't get a free shot at Griffin.

I had high hopes for rambo but the warning signs were big and they were there early.

Multiple personal fouls for late hits, including hits way out of bounds, in preseason. Bad angles. Looking lost in coverage.

All mental mistakes. Those can be fixable, but the gap between where Rambo was and where he needed to be was just too large. He was benched last season too.

Shame is that he had so much physical ability. He could have been good. But you can't fix stupid, and this team doesn't have a place for long term long shot projects anymore.

I always thought he was an average athlete with average physical ability, at least for NFL players.

I'm about the furthest thing from a college scout as it gets, so you may be right

I always thought people referred to him as being quite an athlete.

Oh well, it doesn't matter now

Im really surprised someone has come on to bash Rambo and give us a told you so

[calia]

I wonder whether Rambo will be an addition to the practice squad. Hard to imagine anyone else will be scrambling to sign him right now. And to the point someone earlier made, Haslett said he played well outside of two bad (really, horrifically bad -- let's be honest) plays. Not lobbying for this -- just wondering.

Wow, Haslett sending a strong message.
Nachos please!
Merriweather better learn to not lead his the crown of his head when tackling.

His last suspension came off a play where he led with shoulder and receiver ducked into him. No matter how he tackles now he will be focused by officials.

sometimes it's just about sharing opinions, not trying to be chesty.

i know it's hard to think that way, it requires not prejudging and being willing to take comments at face value. something that seems to be hard to find on the internet these days.
