Redskins v. Texans Pregame Thread

[Skins4L]

we need that online to play well. if they can step up well take this easy.

Ryan Kirkpatrick isnt gettin the win vs this team.

The online most likely will look like Garb vs Cushing, Watt, Jadeveon, but i expect to see RG, Mo, Pierre, DJax, Roberts, Reed firing on all cylinders, trent will be ready though hell have that blind edge.

Speaking only for myself, the time for me to be analytical is over. It is now time for me to gear up and go into Redskins Fanatic mode.

Go Redskins! Just win, Baby!

38? I know Houston's defense isn't all that good but that's awfully optimistic.

If we can limit Clowney and Watt this game will have win sauce spread all over it.

The dude started the Super Bowl for them last year and was their 17 week starter. They got one guy back off of IR at SS and signed TJ Ward. Duke was caught in a numbers game and got cut. Is he a pro bowl player? No. Is he better than what we have here currently (especially missing BW for the first two games and only god knows how many others this season)? Yes.

We didn't have another experienced SS on the roster who had played a game in the NFL. Rambo is a FS who is being moved to SS out of nessecity. Thomas has never been healthy enough to play a game and the other guy (Davis I believe) is best suited as a special teamer who could develop into someone who can play from scrimmage.

I may regret this on Sunday but I love the optimism of this thread right now.

Ask yourself this regarding Ihenacho: Would you rather have him or Reed Doughty?

Mostly I think Ihenacho, but I think that's about what we are looking at, a sure tackler, a little slow in space, but good on special teams.

[artmonkforhallofamein07]

A younger and faster Doughty. Thats about who Duke is.

I wonder how much impact Clowney is really going to have. While he did have some nice plays in preseason and played fairly well overall I thought, we have no idea how he'll perform with a gameplan designed against him. He is a rookie, after all, so if he lines up on Trent's side, he might as well be on the bench. If he lines up on the "other" side, we might have some problems, but I think we'll probably see a lot of Helu and Paulsen out there.

I think I'm trying to say that I would be a lot more worried if we were facing the Ravens, 49ers when all there, or the Cowboys.

Three things about the game that help with the optimism. #1: Johnathan Joseph will be limited with a foot injury. #2: Ryan Fitzpatrick is their starting quarterback. #3: Kendrick Lewis is their starting FS(say hello to #86, son).

In keeping with my prediction in a different thread, I think the Redskins win... 27-23. Alfred has a huge game, JReed catches 7 passes on 7 targets, Garcon and Jackson are quiet the whole night, the boys up front combine for 4 sacks, and Kai nails 2-2, including one late to help seal the win. Griffin goes 19-32 for 193 yards with a TD.

That is about the only guarantee this weekend, I don't think he gets a win all season for that matter.

Who the hell is Ryan Kirkpatrick?

[Chico23231]

Who starts when porter can't suit up for us this Sunday? Treeland or Biggy? Like to see the rookie in there.

Porter not practicing again today

Keim said Biggers will get the nod.
