The defense is bad, yet it keeps us in games. I dunno. It's like they can't decide if they want to be absolutely deadass horrible or if they want to be inconsistent but lucky.

The debbie downer part of me wants to point out that the defense seems ok when the 1st string players (Bush, Pryor, McFadden) go down, but does anyone else think Pryor or McFadden all game makes that game go much differently.


I do think getting Jackson and Jenkins back will make a big difference. I just think the dline's tackling will be improved off the bye.

Definitely. McFadden was breaking off big gainers until he went down with the injury and because Pryor wasn't playing, they didn't have the RO at their disposal.

With our tackling issues, they would've ran all over us.

Pretty much this. It probably would have been an Eagle's game redux - Although McFadden is no Shady McCoy (who, I contend, is the ONLY reason they beat us - that and our own offensive ineptitude through 2 1/2 quarters), he is a capable and competent runner when uninjured. We may still have won but not so sure.

I wouldn't really say that one run insists he would of ran all over us. He only had one big run for like 11 yards.

Dallas is turd meat next week, and gints play the birds. No matter who wins that game we can be tied in the win column in the division if we beat dallas. Glad we won and the season is young. Didnt get to watch the game, but i hope Griff makes some huuuuge strides by the dallas game and that Almo is ready to go too.

^again we do not have Tom Brady though. U have to understand that Brady and Manning make anyone look great, they are ELITE QB's. Griffin is not yet

[skinsfan69]

RG3 needs a full off season to work on his craft. As we can see, he not only needed pre season, he needed OTA's and the mini camps. Time will tell if he can become a pocket guy, but I think we all know he has the work ethic and the drive. Time will tell, but in the meantime, I hold on to Kurt Cousins.

[skinsfaninok]

^I don't I trade him for a high 2nd or late 1st and build around RG3, He's not going anywhere guys and he has changed his style to not get injured.

What happens next year when the brace is off, bananas.

2nd year QB, still learning, recovering from a bad injury. He is pretty good when you take that into account.

The offensive line doesn't look as good, when he is 10% slower, or whatever he is. The receivers didn't seperate well yesterday as a group. He missed some throws, made some bad throws. He is doing something Kaepernick doesn't, move through his receiver progresson. Years down the road, the injury may end up being a blessing in disguise. What if he had to deal with this 5 years from now.

[CRedskinsRule]

Is Griffin reading through his progressions or not? I certainly don't know, and it seems like half the people that might know, say he is, and half say he isn't.

[firstdown]

So he is going to wear the brace all season or has that been determind.

I think Griffin said during one of his training camp pressers that he would wear the brace all season, but might take it off next year. I wonder if that is not a Dr. Andrews decison, that Griffin just didn't want to put on Dr. Andrews.

[Evilgrin]

Smart to think longterm with his knee, keep the brace on. If it holds him back, so be it.
