Weakest Unit for Our Skins

drew54 · 09-07-2004, 11:03 AM

Im going to go a different route here.

1. OT - One stud lost for the year, the other is still hurt.
2. CB Depth - Smoot or Springs goes down, we will be bringing up a squad player or street walker.
3. DL - Its obvious we will be running a rotation, hopefully everyone can keep a full gas tank and not get too beat up.
4. WR - If Coles toe acts up then we hand over the #3 spot to all unproven youngsters.
5. RB - Portis hasnt played a full year, and Betts is always a walking wounded.

I think if we have a problem with any of those five it will cost us at least one game per injury. I predict 10 - 6, but that could turn into 5 - 11 if people cant stay healthy.

What the hell do you go to a football game for if you sit down eating crimpets and drinking white wine when we score a touchdown??????? Screw that Payne!!!! Should have punched that old goat and tell him to make some noise!

Mr. Arrington has challenged the fans....now EVERYONE must deliver! Make it 91,000 screaming idiots!!! If you are not going to make noise, stay the hell at home and give your ticket to someone that will!

If I can talk within a week after the game this sunday ( which I will be at ), I havent done my job.

It just seems like a lot of the people there aren't really football people.

They started doing the wave. It was the loudest wave I've ever heard, but they kept doing it while the offense was out on the field. I tried to get up and motion to everybody behind me to shut up, but they kept doing it. It was near the end of the game and we were ahead by a lot, but still...

It will be a disgrace if FedEx isn't rocking on Sunday. After seeing the VT-USC game there last week, the VT fans proved that FedEx can be loud and hostile.

Gibbs is back, that's all we need to say. Now make some freakin' noise people! For the people in the gold seats, get the heck outta the cigar bars and plant your butt in the seats!

Yeah, that's the difference between college football fans and upper-class Northern Virginia fans who can afford those Gold seats, I guess. When I saw the camera panning around FedEx Field for that game, I don't think I've ever seen the stadium that full. Imagine what it's like when all of them are pulling for the home team!?

Worst nightmare! Seing the Secondary get burnt!

1. D line-
2. DBs-Can Smoot/Springs handle the challenge and what about the safeties
3. O line-Jansen's loss was huge especially since it's Burnell's blind side........
4. RB-
5. WR-strongest position

JWsleep · 09-07-2004, 08:58 PM

D-line, though Williams schemes may help cover it up. It's the #1 thing we should address next year.

CB depth and health.

Also, can we get a consistent return game? I hope so... we see occasional flashes, but little consistency. And can Tupa still hit 'em, game in and game out? I thought that other punter put some pressure on, and Tupa was saved by his job as holder (maybe not, but I wasn't blown away). I think special teams coaching may be the weak link of the coaching staff. We'll see!

But forget this negativity! We're gonna kick ass!

SmootSmack · 09-07-2004, 10:19 PM

1. Defensive Line-primarily the ends
2. Coverage Unit
3. RB Depth-see what Illdefined wrote
4. No Frank Herzog
5. Traffic in downtown DC during the Super Bowl Victory Parade

[QUOTE=RedskinRat]1. WP's negative media coverage.
2. Potential lightweight fans.
3. Expensive tickets.
4. Not being able to walk to the stadium.
5. The price of the concessions.

1. WP Negative Coverage, How2 about they are actually reporting the truth for once. Seems the Redskins have been putting out press releases to counter the truth.
2. Lightweight fans. Guess you don't go to the games as I have been going for 34 years and nobody would ever say Redskin fans are lightweight. I take that one personally. #$%#@#$ off!!!!
3. Expensive tickets. Might be right but got pay to play.
4. Pay for parking and get over it.
5. Don't buy anything!!!

That was preseason as the wave does not cut it in regular season. The vetrans will be in the stands and the noise will be up. Do you like the sign that goes up and says quiet offense at work? I hate that, let the quarterback tell the fans to quiet down and do the bird flap. Skins fans are respectfull but loud.

Only oner person has mentioned special teams. This is a huge part of the game. Everybody thinks this is not a concern?
