My biggest concerns on offense heading into the season:

2. Left side of Oline
3. Can Logan Thomas be a no 1 guy in an offense which relies on the TE?
4. Can Haskins take a step in growth at QB?
5. Can we get production from a WR not named Sims jr and Terry?

Good points.

I'm confident in Haskins. If he simply takes off where he finished last year, we have a very decent NFL starting QB. And I think better coached and having shown signs of good work ethic he'll be improving.

I think this season could be very reminiscent of Gibbs 2.0 first season where the defense was better right out the gate, and this D probably has more talent, but the offense will struggle to get points consistently. Hopefully they get off to a fast start and get an early TD and get some momentum and grind out a win.
WFT - 16
Philly - 13

When Turner took over as the Panthers’ OC, he determined that they had been using their multi-faceted weapon, WR Curtis Samuel, inappropriately. They had been sending the blazing fast Samuel (4.31 speed) on vertical routes where he was able to get separation. The problem was, neither Will Grier nor Kyle Allen had the arms to get him the ball effectively. Once Turner became the OC, he drafted plays for Samuel out of the backfield, with nearly 50% of the WR’s carries coming in the 4 games that Turner managed.

He did something similar for lead WR DJ Moore. Turner, recognizing the shortcomings of his QB talent, fed Moore balls on intermediate routes across the middle, his strong suit. Moore is not the sort of WR with a well-developed route tree, but short passes, taking advantage of his ability to rack up yards after the catch, helped him finish as a top 10 WR in 2019.

In his early comments on Haskins, Turner has pointed out the QB’s strong arm and pocket presence, as well as his comfort with the play action game - which, it has been established, probably can’t be overdeployed. The new OC intends to cater to that strength. Turner has also noted:

“Something ... [Dwayne’s] done a good job of in his past and in college too is just being able to get the ball out quickly and kind of distribute the football to the playmakers and let them make the plays for him.”

The addition of Gibson to playmakers like Steve Sims and Terry McLaurin is the most direct path for Turner to make life easier on his young signal caller. It’s said that Scott’s father, Norv, hammered Cam Newton to “take the lay-up” - hit the easy route - when he got in trouble.

We can almost certainly expect the Redskins’ new OC to do the same with his young QB, providing him with a multi-talented arsenal of weapons that can both take advantage of his deep balls skills - a la Terry McLaurin and Antonio Gandy-Golden - as well use different pre-snap looks to run similar combinations of motion, shifts, and jet sweeps to get the ball in space to playmakers like Gibson, Guice, and Sims.

This is Scott Turner's first time entering a season as the play caller. Should be interesting. I thought he was a west coast type scheme but after reading up .. seems he went short and quick for those 4 games in Carolina bc of personnel limitations.

With Dwayne's big arm, should be interesting.

no preseason will, i will say again, really hurt this team out of the gate.

I want to have hope in my heart but my brain says dont expect shit we will prolly get eaten alive sunday.

So "Cooley and Kevin" is back !

And apparently so are Cooley's film breakdowns ! I think it'll be highly entertaining and valuable to get his opinion on this young new team, a rebuild year is a time when individual evaluations are more interesting than scoreboards!

Fuck yes!

Injury Report

Fuller being doubtfull hurts us, but man the birds are banged up. If Miles Sanders and Lane Johnson end up being out or playing hurt, we definitely have a shot.

That’s weak by fuller.

But I need Miles Sanders to play and play well this week. Fantasy football > IRL

No sir. Start someone else or draft better 😉

Amen to that. I never draft players from the NFCE. I just can’t bring myself to do it. I’d rather our team win a Super Bowl than win fantasy football.

My team name: WFT? WTF!

Last year it was Guice Guice Baby, but that was obviously out of the question.

Man am I sick of hearing all of the experts talk about how Philly is going to roll us this weekend. I’d love to see a del rio defense punch them in the mouth and put our offense in the drivers seat. Eagles fans are insufferable.

I'm cautiously optimistic. If things come together then the O can be competitive and at least keep us in games.

Everyone is talking about the OL and TE from a passing game perspective, but what if the running game and short/screen passing game have early success? If they can keep out of too many obvious long passing downs (low risk plays, lot's of PA which is one of Haskins good areas), then pass pro is mitigated and he doesn't need 3-4 seconds back there.

I'm not saying its a sure thing but I couldn't help noting that the Chiefs, even with a proven passing game, probably the best QB in football, leant heavily on the run game and a lot of misdirection Thursday to negate the pass rush. Their D stifled the Texans. We're not that good a roster but seems to me exactly the game plan we should be using. Probably won't beat the best teams, maybe not even be competitive with them, but the 2nd tier teams will be beatable.

From what little I know about Scot Turner's offense, I think you just described what we're going to see on Sunday. This does not necessarily equate to "dink and duck" because we now have more speed and explosiveness on offense than we've had in years. I believe that Terry McLaurin, Steven Smith, Jr., McKissic, Gibson, and Love can all take it to the house at any time. A heavy dose of running and short passing will also set up some deep shots. I think we'll compete hard on offense.

I’m starting to feel it. Redskins football is almost here. It’s like a growing fire inside of me. Like there’s a miniature me inside my beer gut all fired up, running around and flexing and doing the ultimate warrior and ric flair impressions. I just want to run around and chest bump and head butt every person I see today. I feel like I could lift up a car right now. Like two hands lift it above my head like He Man when he does the “I feel the power” thing.
