Redskins vs. Jaguars Thread

2 preseason games and only a fg in each just pathetic

[DIRTEE]

Its hard to make cuts with two back to back shitty games.

How did we go from looking like an All-World team to a high school JV team in a matter of a few weeks? This is pathetic. In the last two weeks we've been outscored 71-6.. I know it's just the preseason, but 71-6 is not meaningless.

Zorn needs to calm down. He's pressing. He's been pressing ever since the 2nd drive of the Jets game. Calm down, run the football a little, run a few short routes/3-5 step drop type plays to set the tempo...

Most importantly though, it's obvious we're not yet comfortable enough with the passing system to throw on every first down. And the toll all the consecutive 3 and outs have on our defense is even more obvious.

We're probably somewhere in between awesome and awful. I think the Jets game is a good indicator of the type of team we will be. We won't dominate anyone, but we'll hang tight in most games.

I agree, but I'm a little nervous. I don't have a lot of faith in either unit. Our offense has question marks along the oline, at QB, and WR. The starters on offense struggled against the Jets, Panthers and Jags. More troubling, however, is that our defense appears soft. Don't get me wrong, I think we'll be respectable, but I think things are going to get worse before they get better.

If Marcus, Rocky, and Carlos all stay healthy, with Taylor and Carter going after the QB and Laron back there, I think we'll be ok defensively. I really do. But a lot of our starters seem fragile and our depth is lacking. That's my biggest worry on either side of the ball. Second would be the O-line, particularly the right side...

The first 5 games are so tough- 3 division road games and Arizona and New Orleans. I personally think NO will play Dallas in the NFC Championship game. Arizona, Dallas, and NO all have great offenses, and playing in Philly and New York will be so tough. I hope folks around here aren't devastated if we start 1-4 with our only win against Arizona. It's very possible.

Yep, I think 1-4 to start is very likely. My best guess is that our offense will continue to be ineffective for several games and in the meantime the defense will get very worn. If Zorn can help JC and the passing game get their shit together we could see a rebound in the 2nd half of the season, but it will still require a heroic effort from the defense to give us a chance.

Unfortunately, I agree with you. 2-2 might be the best we can hope for. We are not playing good football as of late. Sure it is preseason, but our dumb mistakes and lack of execution the past few games doesn't bode well for the real deal next week.

I hope the cuts begin as early as tonight...these last 2 weeks have been pathetic

[skinsnut]

They need to overcut and do a killer job on the waiver wire....especially LB, then saftey, CB and Oline

[DIRTEE]

The only thing I really saw was the whole in the middle of our defense, but Fletcher will correct that. No worries.

As for the offense, not concerned, we have Portis and Cooley. No worries.

[DIRTEE]

Would be nice to grab Bruce Davis, LB, when he's cut.

[vallin21]

We need to look into a starting SS.

Also Tryon was a waste of a draft pick

[skinsnut]

What worries me is that decent to good running teams mauled us.
That means our run defense is suspect and our unwillingness to punch them back with the same puts us behind with these 3 yard passes.
