Redskins vs. Texans Gameday Thread

[mooby]

I feel like people are forgetting about Kareem Moore a bit. Godspeed Kareem Moore, I seriously hope you're back in the lineup next week. We're not starting Reed Doughty because he beat out everybody else, we're starting him because we have to.

And SkinsfaninOk I noticed that too. I think it's because he has trouble shedding blocks. In the 4-3 the d-line used to handle the offensive line for the most part, it gave Fletch room to run around and make plays. But in the 3-4 you have to have linebackers that can shed blocks and then make plays, and I don't think Fletch is really cut out for that. I wouldn't be suprised if he has under 100 tackles this season. This might even be the last for him in a Skins uniform.

Hey Redskin fans hold your heads up high cause we are no laughing stocks of the NFL any more. We have a serious team that gets after it. HTTR and lets kicked the crap out of the Rams next week.

Did you see London on that sack of Schaub or him drooping in coverage he played well.

Even though we had some mistakes in the front 7, our secondary (Doughty) made some bonehead mistakes. It doesn't matter if he's the 4th string FS, if he's a on the ****ing field he should be able to make some plays and if he can't bench his ass. The main point is our depth piss poor across the board . God forbid a starter goes down w/ a season injury I have no faith in our backups.

yup 4th and 10th, hes in there, incomplete.

but **** man, im drunk nt trying to be reminded of that/

while i like reed, hes almost always in position (excapt that dallas td) he is always a secind late, an inch too short.

Im not a Jason Campbell hater but it is so nice to have a legit NFL top rate QB here in Redskins Nation.

[TheSmurfs22]

We are not going to right years of ineptitude and poor decision making in one year, let alone two games.

[Big C]

i understand some of the positive talk, but giving up a 17 point second half lead just kills that. none of this "well its better than last year" or whatever, we had it and lost it. point blank.

[skins89moss]

A Victory next week against the Rams will help heal this wounds guys.

[FRPLG]

We dialed back the aggressiveness in the second half on defense and it hurt us. Wondering why.

I'm not saying he plays horribly and he's a liability. He still makes plays but he's not the tackling machine he was in the 3-4. I did see him make that sack, you know, cuz I watched the game, but I'm just saying he's not an ideal fit for a 3-4 linebacker. He's effective but not dominant like he was last year, and pretty much every year since we've had him.

Predictions seem to be coming true...improved passing game because of Shany, and decline in defensive effectiveness because of an unneeded shift to a 4-3 under unhearaled DC Haslett.

The defense is no better than last year and seems to give our competition chance after chance to win games...I know it is early....but look at the stats.
If we score 27 points....we should ALWAYS win.
Only crappy defenses lose at home with a 17 point lead late in the game.

Haslett...this loss is completely on you....fix it now

Fletcher had 3 tackles, 4 assists, and a sack. He's going to be fine.
