Redskins-Giants Postgame Thoughts

Hail2theskins · 12-31-2006, 12:55 AM

We only have one pick in the first 3 rounds? We need to address the DBs first, there's a lot of talent coming out of college next year in the linebacker position that could very easily slip through the cracks, I think if we can pick up a 3rd round pick we could pick up HB blades out of pitt, hes a pretty nasty linebacker

Today, was the first time I saw him play. Although he is not a better ATHLETE than Vick or Young, I think he can definitely be a better QB than Vick. Not sure about Young.

Kid's got potential, and offseason of work will make him that much better!

I was on the fence about Campbell until after tonight but the way he played tonight has me just about to be a believer especiallyhow he showed his toughness by continuing to run the ball after being cheap-shotted...This kid might just be a keeper

And he's also got that cool demeanor too! He might be the best young QB in the division now. Manning is too inconsistent and Romo's an attention seeking goof who's off-field escapades might really end up hurting him (plus he's highly overrated!).

IMO, Campbell did well. He showed poise in leading those second half drives. We should be set next year at QB.

Haha, wow, when's the last time a Redskin fan has said THAT!?

They can't tackle, force turnovers, stop the run, rush the passer, and they get penalties to boot.

#2 Betts is a very good back who could start for a lot of teams, but as long as he is careless with the football I'd prefer to see him remain a change-of-pace back. His fumble resulted in a 6-10 point swing.

#3 Andre Carter has been playing like a pass rushing stud for over a month now. Carter has racked up 4 sacks and a heckuva lot of pressures and tackles in the last 5 games. If only he were 15 pounds heavier and stouter against the run.

#4 Those who booed Mark Brunell's appearance on the field are classless. I'm ashamed to be lumped in together with them as a Redskins fan.

#5 Jason Campbell looks pretty solid. He is as elusive as any QB not named Michael Vick, Vince Young or Donovan McNabb. How many tackles did he shed to gain yards when pressure forced him out of the pocket? Moreover, he is as good at play-action and pump-fakes as any QB I've seen in the league.

It's like you read my mind Sheriff. I must say I was genuinely ashamed to be a Redskins fan when the crowd started booing Brunell. Classless.

If I hear Williams blaming this season on anyone but himself I'll be calling for his head. This guy should be on his knees begging for a job right now.

He's had some great seasons prior to this, but this year he proved his scheme can get absolutely torched once teams figure it out. He's proved he can be an absolutely lousy judge of talent (AA) and also proved that he has a pretty crappy management style when it comes to dealing with his players, coaches, and the overall organizational structure of his unit.

The only reason this guy is even still employed at this point is his track record up until this season. In a "what have you done for me lately" kind of league, Williams should be on VERY thin ice.

Beem, all those guys were healthy last night. And since Golston has taken over, Salave'a has taken a breather and gotten relatively healthy. And by all accounts, 30-31 isn't really old, even by football standards. I agree with you on Daniels and Wynn - they are back ups at best. But what are our options??

If it isn't the scheme, then we're really in trouble because we don't have much leverage to upgrade during the offseason.

Too often guys are getting jammed inside, not shedding blocks, and backs are simply cutting back against the grain, it seems.

MTK · 12-31-2006, 11:42 AM

Campbell really looked great in the 2nd half and overall with his 7 starts he really solidified himself as the guy to commit to as our QB. I now have no doubts about the kid. I really can't wait to see his development continue, I think next season he's really going to take off.

The defense is a big concern and should be priority #1, #2 and #3 this offseason. Tiki just like every other back we faced this season just shredded the defense. The tackling was atrocious all season, very embarrassing.

We're on the same wavelength. Campbell is the best thing to happen to the Skins during the lousy 2006 season.

The defense by far was the biggest disappointment. Just when it seemed the defense was set and we could focus on the offense, the defense imploded. I hope the defense can get better - and fast.

Sheriff Gonna Getcha · 12-31-2006, 01:55 PM

Totally agree Matty with your assessment that defense is priority #1, 2, and 3 this offseason. The defense looks atrocious, is aging, and showing how little talent we have on that side of the ball. The offense, however, is showing signs of life and is built around a core of solid, young players (e.g., Cooley, Portis, Moss, ARE, Lloyd, Campbell, Betts).

One other note I took from the game......I love ARE. That guy always looks excited and is definately the most versatile player on the team. He runs, throws, catches, and returns punts. Is there anything he can't do on offense?

After that amazing catch of Campbell perfect lob, I was thinking...man, they under-utilized him on offense this year. I'm not ready throw Lloyd out, but maybe ARE is the better fit at #2.

Offense is the only thing that gives me hope for '07.

I totally agree. ARE always seems to make plays when he gets the ball. I prefer seeing him at #2 and Lloyd at #3. Lloyd has all the makings of a bust, but he's young and hopefully he will mature.

Am I the only one that noticed Betts didn't get the team record last night because he only ran for 92 yards? Personally, I'm glad he didn't break the record after those fumbles he had that cost us. He needs to work on his hands this offseason so whenever a helmet hits the ball it's not gonna be jarred loose.
