Look, give them a long field in that spot with the way things were going they still probably drive down and score, use up more time, and we're still down.

I did think about the time saved right away due to the short field. Lol. Still though I just wanted our D to have a chance and pin them deep. No biggie. I am over it. Going to the post season and all is well.

We are going further than them in the post Season this year. That is all.

Now is the time for the coaches who are responsible for the Red Zone problem to fix it. No excuses. Just fix it!

Jordan Reed suffered a grade 3 shoulder separation and came back and scored 2 awesome TD's, including an insane one handed catch. No more doubts about his toughness, he's got his inner Kellen Winslow working.

Grade III - A complete separation of the joint. The acromioclavicular ligament, the coracoclavicular ligaments, and the capsule surrounding the joint are torn. Usually, the displacement is obvious on clinical exam. Without any ligament support, the shoulder falls under the weight of the arm and the clavicle is pushed up, causing a bump on the shoulder.

There are a total of six grades of severity of AC separations. Grades I-III are the most common. Grades IV-VI are very uncommon and are usually the result of a very high-energy injury such as one that might occur in a motor vehicle accident. Grades IV-VI are all treated surgically because of the severe disruption of all the ligamentous support for the arm and shoulder.

From 21:45 to 24:05 Chris Cooley says exactly what I've been saying all week long : you want the best 11 players on the field. On defense, Cravens is definitely in the best 11... and so is Mason Foster! So they shouldn't be splitting reps!!! Cravens is a safety, we have a safety problem... Make him play Safety for andouillette's sake! Sit Whitner, have a strong tackler help against the run at ILB in Mason Foster... Just play the best 11 !

He explains it better than me but he says this shouldn't even be a discussion!

I could not agree more with you and Chris. Screw the hybrid crap; Su'a Cravens is an ideal NFL SS. Mason Foster is our best ILB. The Skins coaches should stop playing around with how to use Cravens and get both Cravens and Foster on the field at the same time.

If everyone watching from their couches can see this then why can't these dummies that are getting paid see it? This falls on Joe Barry and Gruden. Gruden as the HC need to just say..."F this, let him learn and master ONE position and then we'll talk about using him elsewhere." I just don't get what they're doing there.

That's literally, EXACTLY what Gruden has said. He wants Cravens to learn and prosper at the LineBacker position before moving him around to Safety positions. It may not be the position you wanted first but the plan is there.

Also, Cravens is a ROOKIE. Let's let the kid get a year under his belt before we ask him to do something veterans struggle with.

I honestly can't believe the ignorance of fans who say "Just have him play two positions WTF!?" This is the NFL. You don't just go back and forth between positions willy-nilly. Imagine being hired in a company and asked to learn two jobs as a fresh intern out of college.

With all that said I DO think Cravens can be that switch player going from LB to Safety eventually. But it takes time.

Su'a Cravens just fine at LB, but Donte Whitner struggles - Washington Redskins Blog- ESPN

He's got some good points.
I'd still say moving Cravens to SS would be the "less bad" solution for this year. Next year we definitely need new safeties.

4.69 speed not good enough, I guess it wouldn't hurt to experiment and see what happens.

He'd probably be a little quicker at 215 lbs.

agreed . . . we are WAY TOO SLOW of a defense right now as it is . . . 4.69 is good for mlb, but slow for safety, especially full time . . . we need an infusion of speed desperately in this defense.
