Week 4: Redskins vs. Buccaneers Gameday Thread

[GTripp0012]

The only thing that really seems obvious when you look at the ages of players on the roster is that the 2010 Redskins will be better than the 2009 Redskins.

But if the 2009 Redskins are 5-11, better could just be 8-8. There's a lot of games left and I want to simply avoid jumping to conclusions.

Where do you see it improving there?

Do you see our who knows if they'll be on the squad backup linemen improving next year? Young who knew if they were gonna make the roster or not secondary?

Still a lot of question marks

Well a lot depends on how we address the quarterback position. But the receivers will develop and 2010 Portis should be a lot like 2009 Portis. If the offensive line gels, this could be a pretty good offense, depending on who the quarterback is.

I can see that, but it's still pretty conditional. Say we have a rookie QB though.. who knows? Like you said a lot rides on that.

The receivers should develop and I'm seeing signs of it, but who knows wit Clinton. We're finally giving our line a chance to develop though instead of trying to fill every fallen gap, which is what we need to do. Not a lot of the best lines started with the best evaluated linemen no doubt.

Blache did definitely do a bit different.. I didn't know what he was coming with every time.

it's better than losing the game we got to work on a lot things. The third int by JC i believe was suppose to duplicate the td pass to moss but it didn't happen. If we know anything about JC we know he doesn't throw into double coverage often i believe that was Zorn forcing a play. JC still played bad he needs to work on his mechanics and reads.

I think so too. I said that earlier in the thread. On the NFL: Tutledge of a QB thread. You hear Zorn telling Moss. "We got 4 plays drawn up for you". Why not jsut draw up the plays and not tell JC who to throw the ball to and let him make the decisions. I think JC was forcing stuff because of the pressure from the fans and everyone else. There is still no excuse. But they shouldn't draw up plays for certain receivers. If they are doing their job they will get teh ball. We need to spread it out and no focus on one receiver. if so. Why did we draft the do-nothing-triplets..lol. Malcom, Devin and Fred..lol. They just need to let JC play his game. Then at the end of the season we can decide on what we are going to do.

ARE was doing good the first 2 games. But I guess they phased him out. We need to spread the ball around a lot more. Whoever gets the pass gets the pass. WTF

JC step your game up buddy. I rather you dump it off than throw 3 ints.

It's really sad that this is what we're pretty satisfied with though.

So do you rather have a loss? Jax just killed Tennessee; a team that was penciled in to be in the playoffs just got killed by a team that was left for dead. I think in today's NFL, very few are the teams that you can say they are going to blow someone out of the water. We're not one of those teams, so just deal with it.

This win is much better than the Rams W. The O executed a perfect pass play in the Red Zone. Campbell hit a big play to Moss. Right there, that's two things we didn't see at all in the 1st win. I'm still waiting for ANY involvement of Kelly, Thomas, or Davis in the offense. It's hard to believe that those guys could be any less utilized at this point. We would have been better off drafting O-line depth with those three 2nd round picks.

Kelly has been being utilized, albeit not as often as Cooley or Moss. Thomas and Davis might as well be ghosts. Davis seems be only used on TE screens.

I think a lot of the reason we haven't seen big games from Kelly is because he just hasn't been able to get open enough for JC to trust him. I don't know whether it's a lack of effort or just great corner play (maybe great corner play can be attributed to knowing what to expect from the coaching staff) but our 3 young guys from last year aren't getting many looks, and the looks they are getting they aren't doing anything with. JC has been targeting them (not very often) but even when he does they don't seperate, or make the play, or do anything that gives him more confidence to throw it to them.

Well there were a lot of single plays that made a difference... but did we have the drives like we did vs the rams?

Are you saying that you actually prefer long drives that end in FGs? I'll take a quick strike to Moss for a long TD any day. And the Cooley TD came at the end of a 10 play drive, which was as solid as any vs. the Rams, with the emphasis on FINISHING.
