Skins need to further invest in the trenches next season

[DCtoAZ]

Gallaway made plays today .. i thought he was toast but dammit if he didn't get open and blow by people .. this OFfense will get better and better and better .... i don't know if the big VJ trade is necessary .. however if we can move AH then do it .. pardon my french but F That AssHole ... and again as much as I love Andre Carter99 .. he needed a sack today and just couldn't get it .. i'm sure we will be replayed on NFL network again this week so game tape will be flying ... 1-1 after this opening 2 teams is ok and actually good .. let's get our system rolling in st.louis and beat the sh*t out of the Rams next week .. Bradford better be ready for some real Defense

Doughty proved to be an average NFL player who just gets a check for being a "good guy". Sorry but anyone who defends this clown is unbelievable. This kid get's the start 2 wks in a row and ****s up everytime; just an encore of his pathetic performance against Dallas. A FS should not be slow, bad in coverage, late to the ball, etc. Every thing they teach you not to do @ FS he does, and it annoys the shit outta me watching it. Like I said earlier, we will never be an elite team until we have some backups who can come in and perform when needed; and that's on our whole team not just the O and D- line.

Yeah, but if we had monster line, Schaub would have already been on the ground.

I hear ya, but our D- line is not always going to their there so we have to trust the our DB's. I agree with you, both groups need to take some responsibility.

Yeah, but I don't think even Ed Reed would have been able to stop Johnson on that play. Johnson is going to pull it in of at least 95% of the time because he has the size and hands.

A healthy Ed Reed turns hanging balls into pick 6s.

I still want to know where the effing corner was on that play. It was 3rd and 10 and we release the best WR in football on our safeties? Big time lapse by the coordinator.

He can't defy the laws of physics though. Johnson is bigger than him and has super glue hands.

It was 4th and 10

Some of the most negative plays for our defense happened with Schaub under immense pressure right off the snap. He's great at beating the type of coverages we were playing, but a lot of times, he was only able to extend drives via off balance throws across the field on third down. They couldn't run the ball for crap against our linebackers.

I think the biggest reason they scored as much as they did is they were very lucky on third downs, making really low percentage throws but executing them anyways. The Texans offense LOOKED out of sync all day, but they managed to still move the chains while looking like a pop warner team. Sometimes, that's football.

They made more plays than we did without really winning the line of scrimmage. At least their offense did against our defense.

also why isn't big will montgomery in the games ?? come one now ... nothing to blow up team ... last week was the whole blow up the team talk because we can't score .. obviously we can score because McNabb can launch that baby 60yds in the air no problem .. keep an eye on some trade bait ... can kareem moore get back fast enough ?


Landry - Has officially Turned into the new Sean Taylor #21 .. i know he's unreplaceable and when i put up his jersey each week i always miss him but Landry seems to remind me more and more of ST each week.

He isn't ST but I agree that he is a Pro-Bowler right now. (Don't tell Goat, though. He likes Doughty, Horton and 4-12 seasons)

Rogers and Landry are keepers, but the rest(Dbs) for the most part can be replaced. We need massive upgrades. I guess the NT would be the primary position to draft next season. Damn we have too many holes yet to fill!!!!!! NT, o line, a saftey, a CB, and still a WR.

[Dirtbag59]

I don't know how we're going to keep the band together next season. Right now we have Rogers, Brown, McNabb, and McIntosh all needing new contracts. I guess that dumping Haynesworth will create a lot of room but still we have to start figuring out how to develop cheap guys at positions of need to build around our stars.

Amen -- and the best way to do that is to stock up on as many 2nd, 3rd, and 4th round picks as we can. Trading Haynesworthless might get us an extra pick or two in that range.

Yeah, but we consistently underachieve with those picks (this regime hasn't shown any signs of breaking that trend). We won't pick a Haynesworth type player, that is a certainty.
