Watch this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_OK3IgwknNs

Please jump to the following times:

2:03 - pressure on Rodgers
5:41 - pressure on Rodgers around the edge, Rodgers being Rodgers escapes
8:13 - pancakes his guy in one second, but Rodgers gets rid of it on a 3 step drop
8:21 - busts through and draws a blatant hold

And not pictured here was at least one other blatant holding call where he destroyed the tackle off the ball and all the tackle could do was clothesline him around the neck.

When you guys watch football, don't just watch the results of the play. Don't just follow the ball with your eyes. Watch the trench play, see who's winning and gaining leverage. It's a better indicator of how the game will go overall.

When PFF puts out their evaluation of Kerrigan in this game you'll see he got plenty of pressures.

I thought we were a smarter fan base than this. I'm glad to see at least some of you on here still are. Kerrigan not only didn't play poorly, he played well.

We already have on the website.

He graded 2nd in Total pass rush grade . (60.4) Grade behind Matt I (66.3)

Saints Defense was a one hit wonder last yr, they are back to playing old saints ball.. Trent will be fine for that game

The Skins played an outstanding game against the Packers! Just about everything I hoped for happened. The way they came back after the loss to the Colts impressed me greatly. HTTR!

I hope that was enough to protect me from Matty as I launch into a mild criticism of our roster. Still, you never know when Schneed might strike, so I know I'm vulnerable.

OK, now I want to talk about a worrisome aspect of the team going forward. That is the lack of production by our Edge Rushers. After three games, we have only 1 sack total by the four of them. Improbably, that sack came from Ryan Anderson, Frenchy's adopted son.

Skipping the details, if we hope to make the post season this year, then somehow, someway we must find an effective pass rusher on the edge as soon as possible. We've hit the jackpot with our interior pass rushers, IMHO. but we need a better outside rush to reach the next level of NFL defenses.

If the team's executives are telling Jay Gruden that he must win this season to keep his job, then they have a moral obligation to help him find the players he needs to do it. And they need to get started by finding a productive Edge Rusher right now. A trade should not be ruled out and it may even turn out to be the preferred way to go. Meanwhile, I'd give tryouts to every unemployed Edge Rusher who has any chance at all of being able to help plug this hole.

I think it's more we need OLB that can cover out of the backfield. Our front 4 seem to be devastating the lines at this point, but all 3 qb's have found success dumping it to the outlet. With the Saints and Kamara on tap, that could be devastating.

One play I remember from yesterday was the announcers talking about how RK needed to be released to get Rodgers, and almost on queue, the D tried that. The result was Rodgers throwing a lob to the release back for a first down.

How about those Red Zone problems???

5 Red zone trips, 3 td's 1 FG, 1 kneel down.

I like that

Playing against a team like GB that's the type of RZ production you need.

Safe to say that Smith is much better in the RZ than that other guy was.

You mean Whatshisname?

One more random thought: Isn't it about time we started giving props to Chase Roullier? He is becoming one helluva good Center, IMHO.

Your edge rushing post annoyed me enough as it was. And now this. Roullier played Guard yesterday.



I think your point still stands that he has become a valuable piece but it's just funny how wrong you are so often.

Kerrigan has been very effective in all three games this year (check the pressures on PFF). Preston Smith definitely needs to step it up though. He has a way of being streaky, hopefully he goes on a hot streak soon.

Preston Smith isn't streaky. The only times he's produced were against backups. I may be wrong about this, too, but that is my impression of him. I think Smith is a flat out bust.

PS is the 2nd option at Edge, he isn't as good as Ryan. Although RK has been off but he played better yesterday.

I've read your posts for years now and on countless occasions you come across as a know-it-all and repeatedly put people down as if everyone but you is an idiot. I seldom post and typically come to this site as a simple Redskin fan just trying to enjoy all other fan's viewpoints but your frequent arrogance ruins the experience. You've clearly been hurt somewhere in life with a resulting insecurity that motivates you to talk to others like shit in order to make yourself feel better. Sitting in front of a keyboard makes it far to easy for you to get away with your smug comments and I'm surprised more people on this site haven't called you out. Who are you anyway? What makes you an "expert" in all things football and Redskins related? Doesn't really matter as whoever you are doesn't excuse such condescending behavior. Douche.

Yes. That’s me. Minus the traumatic event in my life. I’m just the smartest and most arrogant troll you’ve ever met.
