Yep. Him and London need to go next year, they make our average team age a lot worse than what it is, and their age is really showing. Go young all over.

I agree that the scheme has been a problem. This O-line isn't built for a traditional pocket passing game, yet that's what we've tried to run, and Griffin has taken a beating in the pocket. Where are the bootlegs, the misdirection, etc. As much as Robert needs to play through the rust, Boy Wonder (Kyle) needs to get his act together.

The problem is you can't really separate Kyle from Mike, mike from Kyle.

Exactly. Right now I wish we had Norv as our OC. I know he didn't win jack with my namesake, but he did a lot offensively statwise with a 7th round QB from Tulsa, an over the hill RB (Allen) and some wheeze kids for WRs(Ellard and Sheppard).

^ Detroit lost to ARZ today. So they are not that great but it'll be hard to pick us at this point

Arizona is a good team. I'm still trying to think of any possible way the Skins can slow down Calvin Johnson.

Haha! Zing!

Guess we'll have to put the whole team on CJ. At least we're playing at home.

Stafford doesn't scramble at all, he is a statue, a pure pocket passer. Nice blitz packages by Haslett will help against Megatron. Thing is you will have to double team Calvin, but still keep Burleson covered. Pettigrew still has dropititis for the most part so a LB can take him Rambo better learn how to tackle properly in 7 days as well.

Which Linebacker? Riley looked a little slow on coverage today in Finley and we already know Fletch has let age handicap him.

Don't have to be super fast with Pettigrew. He usually does shorter routes. If we were talking about the Pettigrew of 2010-11, then yeah we would have a problem. He has gone down a notch in skill level it seems, until he gets his act together. He had a couple catches today, but also still has dumb drops. Megatron and Burleson are the ones that can burn us bad.

We winning the next 2 games. Put it down

[CrustyRedskin]

Skins love to set team recoords. Im sure Megatron is lickin his chops.

As far as defense is concerned, we just don't have good players. Counting the loss to Seattle, we've just been gashed. We can sit here and blame Haslett, and he'll take the fall eventually, but it's a talent issue. Fletcher is old and slow, Bowen is average to below average, Cofield is getting pushed around, the secondary cant cover, can't tackle and blow assignments. I don't think I've ever seen such a horrible secondary. Ever.

As far as the offense, RG3 needs a running game. If he doesn't have it, he's not good enough right now to carry the offense. And don't talk to me about his stats, very misleading. The line can't protect and none of them would start for a top team except Williams. Morris showed up today and ran hard, Reed looks like a keeper...but the wr's seemingly can only get open when the score is out of hand. Right now this entire team just sucks.
