Seeing if the team adjusts and improves to fix their mistakes. or if they don't adjust at all.

Re: Week Two: I'm looking forward to...

I want to amend my current statement. One thing I'd love to see is Clinton Portis on the bench a lot more. The reasoning for this is two fold. First, we can't kill this guy early again. If we want to win the more difficult games and if we get into the playoffs, we need Portis at full strength. Secondly, we need to prove we can play offense without him. Sometimes I feel like we push the ball to him a bit too much.

Im not saying dont play him at all, but if we're up, limit his touches greatly.

I agree with you, but in reverse...that is, I say limit his touches and emphasize the pass more. Then, when we've got a 4th quarter lead, give Portis the rock and let him burn the clock and finish off the opposition.

Lotus, why beat up Portis? Let Betts/Mason/Rock/Whoever take the punishment if we have a lead. I want Portis there when we need him.

Moot point either way, if the skins get up by more than a TD they find a way to keep it close.

Re: Week Two: I'm looking forward to...

I'm still having difficulty moving on since I half expected the Skins to win by atleast 10 points to an inferior team lacking talent and weapons.

but...I'll keep it short since my last was so long. .....Ditto.

Re: Week Two: I'm looking forward to...

Lets see:

2 TE sets
Kelly/Thomas/Mitchell involved
Better game plan
Better adjusting
A nice high score above 21 points
JC having a good game
Maybe a little Mason if he's not deactivated.

1. Get a victory
2. We need to prove that our offense can score over 21 points.
3. The Defense to shut out the Rams and force several turnovers, and take a fumble or pick to the house.
4. 3 or more sacks on Bulger.
5. Defense get of the field on 3rd downs.
6. Portis a 100yd game along with JC throwing for 300yds.
7.Kelly,Thomas,Davis,Mitchell all contribute on offense.
8. Orakpo get his 1st sack.
9.Portis exits game healthy early 4th qt. due to big lead.
10. Offense don't give up a turnover that leads to a defensive TD.
11. Fans at FedEx get behind the Coach and QB.
12. No Injuries.
13.Cowboys N Eagles lose.

Re: Week Two: I'm looking forward to...

I just want to see some signs of this team playing as a football team. Playing with some fire. Everybody in rhythm. First and foremost I for one think that the offensive line really held its own against the giants last week. I know we struggled in the run game but all in all our pass blocking was pretty good. I want to see consistency there as well as stronger run game. It all starts upfront and I think if we can give Campbell time and have a more aggressive approach I think we can put up some points. On defense I just want to see pressure. If we can pressure we can get turnovers. I just want to see some heart out of all 53 players that suit up on sunday. I want this team to get the snowball rolling. Lets go Skins!!!

You know that scene in The Bourne Identity when Jason walks through the U.S. Embassy?

That's what I'd like our Offense to look like.

And the D?

Something along the lines of 300 defending the pass at Thermopylae

Special Teams?

Like The lobby scene from The Matrix but turn the techno UP!

Re: Week Two: I'm looking forward to...

I know a win is a win but to really meet my expectations of this offense and defense I would like us win decisively. I think with the talent on this team we should win 30-10. We need to for the psche of this team (as well as its fans)
