Titans vs. Skins Positives and Negatives.

Positives:
We won

Negatives:
We looked a lot better in some of our losses.
The ridiculousness of this team was increased as we now have a back-up quarterback controversy.
The way numerous players on this team were close to getting an unsportsmanlike penalty after a play moved us into game winning, chip-shot range.

Gotta be McCoy as the main positive. He didn't turn the ball over and ran the offense. Negatives? We barely beat a terrible team at home. That was two bad teams out there yesterday.

Morris is not the problem. We all know our Offensive Line can't block for shit. His numbers are obviously going to suffer. Did you guys really think Demarco Murray was the beast he is? No, put in a solid offensive line and WOW things start to open up for running backs.

Morris is our starter. The fact that he's not getting the ball that much is enough to be upset, if they bench him... that's something entirely different.

Lets get this offensive line together and watch everybody rave (as they should) again about Morris being an absolute beast (which he is).

Positives:

We won. Plain and simple.

I had almost sobered up but winning another game is just another shot of kool-aid for me. I'm not drunk on it yet, but i'm feeling the effects. HAIL

Negatives:

Cousins has absolutely played himself out of any trade bait we may have had. Shame.

Do you think Will Montgomery is a great OL?

We are going into Dallas week.

I WISH we could beat them this week. They are riding so high.

DynamiteRave · 10-20-2014, 10:21 AM

There shouldn't be any debate at who is the starting RB; it's Morris and it should be. But he desperately needs to work on ball security. He's not fumbling every single game but I can't say I don't hold my breath when he tries to fight for extra yards.

Evilgrin · 10-20-2014, 10:27 AM

They are struggling as a team on blocking, not just the OL. The OL talent is just not up to par though. It's a great opportunity, but no one seems to be stepping up.

KR continues to play well.

Lotus · 10-20-2014, 10:38 AM

Alfmo's numbers have dropped dramatically and he is averaging only 3.8 yards per carry. The line in front of him is not much different (or worse) than the line he ran behind in previous seasons.

We might want to start asking if Alfmo is not another Shanny RB creation, like Reuben Droughns or Olandis Gary, who ran like mad for Shanny but not for anyone else.

And DRave is right, his ball security is lacking.

Redskins' Tom Compton will see more time at right tackle

Quote:

“Tyler had a couple of plays where struggled on and Tom’s put some good work in practice and we just thought it was time to look at Tom at right tackle. We thought he deserved an opportunity to play and moving forward we’ll see a little bit more of Tom and plus Tyler had a little bit of a banged up knee coming into this game and it was important to get Tom out there.”

I'm done with Tyler Polumbus. Leave Compton in there and see what he can do. Can't be any worse.

Robert is a young QB. If he struggles in any particular game, then I'd have no problem with Gruden having Colt relieve him to try to win that particular game. Then, I would expect Gruden to start RGIII in the next game. Many young QB's have been developed in this way.

If Gruden were to sit RGIII and go with Colt, then I'd be hoping that Snyder would fire his stupid ass. I believe that RGIII is the future of this team, so I think that the Gruden must balance the current and future needs of the team as far as Robert's development is concerned. I know that is a difficult thing for Gruden to do but that is part of the job of being an NFL HC.

Wouldn't mind seeing Redd get some carries.

This.

I know I keep saying this, but I dont think Alfmo is the lead back next year. Is he problem? Not at all, but I think Gruden wants a more dynamic RB to lead and Alfmo to be the change of pace, masher RB.

I came back just to say this. He ran some in one of the first two games we played. Why haven't we seen him more?
