First and goal from the 2- WHERE'S TJ???

i'll never forget his first rush as a redskin

I too have a hard time comprehending the fact that TJ is not in the game in those situations. Its not a matter of learning the offense. All they have to do is run the damn thing up the guards ass. You can't tell me Joe isn't that bright. Thomas and Jansen = 600lbs or more. add Sellers 260plus and tj 260 plus that is over 1,000 lbs. they can't move the damn ball 1 yard?? that is stupid. the play calling in that situation was horrible. I think Joe may have been trying to get the O-lines confidence up, letting them know he believes in them, as well as portis. Fact, is we are 2-5, we need to get the ball in the endzone any way we can. if that means no portis at the goal line, so be it!!

fuck that. where's Sellers?

last year, Big Mike would've CAUGHT that 4th and 1 at the goaline. he was a lock. had like 4 TDs

I think TJ was insurance when the coaches did not know what would happen with the CP injury. Now that they have him its like they don't know what to do with him. The problem I saw with those downs is that we knew where they were going. Dallas has a good D line and if you tell them that we are going to run the ball right at them they will win most of those. We did not even show any pass play with those downs and if we spread them out just a little I think we would have scored. I think they were trying to make a statement about running the ball just chose the wrong time to do so.

A big, expensive diversion...I like it.

We should have lined up in the I-formation with Sellers(278lbs) @ full back and TJ(254lbs) @ tail back. Now that's a huge goal line package! What happened to Smash Mouth football? Damn Saunders, were you drunk in the press box?

Thats why we shouldn't have totally exchanged last year's playbook for Al's 700 pages. There were money plays like that that Brunell could still be running.

i have no doubt that saunder's system will work, however, i do think we are a couple of years (at least this one) from seeing its merit.

This is such a frustrating season. The Redskins have so much potential but I hate to admit that much of that talent is being mis-managed. T. J. Duckett is a prime example. It makes no sense to me to have Duckett and not use him. I'm not buying any of the excuses. The best running back rotation would be to have Portis as your primary back, Betts as your third down or receiving back, and Duckett as your red zone specialist. It worked wonderfully for Atlanta, why can't it work in Washington. What a waste. It would be as bad if the Skins hadn't given up a third round pick for next year. Just DUMB!

"Smash Mouth Football" is buried somewhere in the 700-page playbook. Nobody can find it yet though. Too many pages.

Actually he had 7 TDs receiving and 1 rushing.

Did anyone see the Al Saunders interview on Comcast this morning? Saunders was asked this very question and said the Clinton got the ball because he was the # 1 back. Then he said something like "it didn't work so we'll go in a different direction next time". I wonder if he meant Duckett, or just the play calling.
