So far...I would rather have Williams as D-coordinator.

But it's really too early just yet...I thought we did great in Wk-1
But the last 2 weeks have been horrible,so now i just don't know.

This Philly game will be a very good test,because not only are we facing a hot Vick who is very difficult to gameplan against because of his athletic ability and improved passing...but the eagles have very good weapons in Maclin,Jackson,Celek and so on...

Neither Green Bay,the Lions or the Jags have been able to stop or even contain Vick...

This next philly game will tell me a lot about how good haslet is or at least...can be.

Three games does not make a season, I got a text prior to the game saying the STL lambs score board was counting down the GB vs lambs I thought to myself there over looking us instead we were over looking them. This game against silly we have a chance to steady the ship & get back to 500 or 0 - 0 call it what you will. Our Coach's have to get the players to play better or we won't get anyone to show up for the 2011 pre-season workouts.

HTTR.

It's difficult for a lot of people to remain focused on the big picture because the team is not losing because of lack of effort. It's an assortment of other things that are easily identifiable, both coaches and players share in the blame.

we lose in filthy we might as well lose out for aj green!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Everyone wants to say give it a year, or whatever but the honest truth is we were "suppose" to win this year. that is what was pushed to us as skins fans "the future is now" crap. I think the reason i am so pissed after this game is the fact we still loose games like we do. Giving up 17 point lead vs. the Texans, digging ourself a 14-0 hole against the freaking rams, only to fight back and give it up at the end. No matter who has been the coach these outcomes have always been the same. Whether the players, coaches, front office whatever we still have that same characteristic as a team. Another thing that gets me is why can't we run a freaking fade route in the endzone! Why can't we get over all this EGO crap and put our best players on the field. Yes, I am talking Albert. You can't tell me that he isn't better than freaking gholston, or Holliday, Kemo. And Devin Tomas isn't better than some of the stuff we put out there at WR. Devin really played well at the end of the year last year. and the playcalling, it was like we were down 28 points or something. Getting 6 to 7 yards a carry and completely scrap the running game! Its the same ole Redskins no matter who is wearing the headset.

100%.... It is very frustrating to see the same characteristics in our team year after year. especially since the entire team has been replaced from HC to water boy. Still can't keep a lead. Still bringing games into final seconds just to lose in the end. Still losing games we should win. Still not using our talent correctly. Still calling a lousy game. If we need 10 yards we throw for 5 if we need 5 yards we throw for 2, when we need 2 yards we throw for 20 and miss, ect... Can't run, can't tackle, No sense of ergency.

Same ole Redskins... (sigh) yeah

Was carter really good as a 4-3 end? yeah i know he got 11 sacks last year but his total tenure here IMO has been quiet and servicable.

I remember for years he would do the same outside rush move on every play becoming a run defense liability but getting his 5-8 sacks a year on a sack starved defense.

i dont think carter is as good as his 11 sacks last year indicate. I think he is a solid player but nothing great.

Playing opposite Orakpo on a line that includes Haynesworth, Carter would have been good for consistent double digit sacks. In this scheme, he looks lost, but we knew that from his year as a 3-4 linebacker in San Fran.

Carter is just average in a 4-3. But he's terrible in a 3-4.

[Ruhskins]

Well let's look at Carter's numbers:

YEAR---TOT---SOLO---SACK----FF
2006----56-----47-----6.0------0
2007----55-----43-----10.5-----4
2008----37-----23-----4.0------0
2009----62-----48-----11.0-----3

Other than 2008, he had very solid years in '06, '07, and '09. His best years were clearly '07 and '09. I just don't think you'll see this time of production out of him in this scheme.

lost to the rams. I'd say panic mode untill we show otherwise.

It never ceases to amaze me how fast so many of you are ready to pack it in, fire the coaches, fire the players, sell your tickets, etc., etc. when things don't go well early in a season. I've seen this reaction for years now no matter who is on the field or who is on the sideline. I share your frustration, I sincerely do. But this season...what the hell did you expect? Instant gratification? New coaches, new schemes, new players. It's a work in progress folks and it isn't going to happen overnight (or this season). Let's just hope that Snyder and Co. show a little more patience and restraint, which I think they will, and allow this whole thing time to gel.

The Rams have a rookie QB and have won like 2 games in two years. Plus their best player got hurt. It's not too much to ask to win that game. I guess that's asking too much.

As I said before, I share everyone's frustration and I agree with you in that we damn well should have won a game against a sorry group such as the Rams. My point was that we may have too high of expectations for this team this season and should give it some more time...even when we blow a game that should have been easily won.

You are so right. We need to give this thing time. Hopefully each week we can see improvement and next year make a real push.
