I thought Riley had a heck of a game on Sunday. To me the real "story" is how one minute we were all praising Rob Jackson. And now, it's like he doesn't even exist anymore

Zoe was a lot heavier earlier in his career, so he's likely to have better endurance today. Jackson has shown flashes, but I suspect he gets a bit winded with heavy work. I would split Zoe and Jackson at OLB about 45/45, with Wilson getting the remaining reps on obvious passing downs.

Zoe and Jackson splitting time will likely keep them both very rested have em bringing the heat consistently.

Riley is developing nicely at ILB.

Is there a consolidated resource for the breakdown of Griffin's passes. How many were behind the LOS, 0-5 right, center middle; 5-20 etc etc?

I keep hearing how Griffin's percentage is only high due to short throws, and I know that is the basic strategy, but it seems like when he throws medium or long passes those are pretty much on target as well. Just wanted to try and find the "real" numbers.

Seem he does very well on ranges from 0-20 yards and drops to a 50% completion after that.


The stat that stands out to me the most is his QB rating on 3rd down. It's abyssal and the one major area he needs to improve big time on. Forget stats. Stats don't mean jack shit if you aren't continually to move the chains and put up points.

Is Sunday vs the Giants Shanny's biggest game as a Redskin?

I was sure we were 1 game out with the Giants in the lead. We win only puts us tied with first.

The thing that scares me is that right now in the red zone he is a run first QB which is working out for us in terms of FINALLY hitting pay dirt in the red zone but it's one of those areas where he's going to get himself killed.

He's an incredible rookie passer and is still on pace to be the best rookie QB in the history of the league and I think I'm expecting to much from him at this point but I'm really hoping to see him impose his will on defenses through the air rather then take what the defense gives him which he is doing an excellent job of right now.

In short though it just goes to show you how hard it is to criticize this man.

I'd like to see More pass first in the RZ too but he's so great it really doesn't matter
