Hey Guice could have probably done a fine job too (I know you were referring to AP) but again, coaching and play calling. It matters. We SUCK at it.Jump out to a 20-7 lead on the road against the division favorite. Too bad they don't have a powerful veteran running back on the roster who can move the chains, chew clock and keep the ball out of Wentz's hands.
Na. Let Haskins learn. This team is a train wreck. Need some stability before throwing him in there.
That would be the earliest i would consider it. Still i think the halfway point at least. Then we see what’s up.
I'd say it's based on a front-office rumor, or more likely on nothing but "keep an interesting story going".
I don't own AP anymore buts that's just ridiculous. It's not like the guy is washed up. He can still be a weapon for the Skins. Why even have him on the team then?Gruden getting destroyed by twitter after the presser. Basically said he will keep adp inactive unless they plan to run it 55 times in a game.
To be fair, the Washington offense didn't really have a chance to do much in the 2nd half. The Eagles had a couple of really long, time eating drives. And when Washington was still in it and could have kept the game close, Donald Penn had 2 penalties (the chop block was a killer).
I get your frustration but please let me clarify one thing, don’t ever put Reid and Bellichek in the same sentence when referencing great coaching.
If he was injured in the second half, and we didn't have a suitable back up because of Jay's decision...then that's roster mismanagement on a massive, game-sinking scale. Jay can't be fired fast enough for me.
Yea I’m done. Get him gone. Thanks just don’t understand why you would do that first game coming back from that injury with barely any preseason playing time.

Peterson has been named the starting RB. The other backs (Thompson/Smallwood) are more 3rd down backs, so AP looks to get most of the carries on 1st and 2nd down. Guise is out. While vs. Dallas is not an easy matchup, having a legit starting RB as RB3 is pretty good. I'd play AP in that role. Also, he showed us something last year. He's tough and I think he'll be running with purpose after being deactivated last week. Dallas is good so probably won't blow up, but may be worth it as RB3.
Davis is back which is great but heard on 106.7 the fan just now that Reed is still not cleared. We heard all last week that Jay was "optimistic" so I'm not expecting anything yet. I still think Reed should retire. Yes, it will hurt the Skins in the short run. But I just can't stomach the idea of Reed being out of his head by age 40...it's not right.
I just want them to clean house. We have some good young talent on our team. I don't think we are doomed intermediate term. But we need a general turnover of most of the coaching staff...
sigh. I hope when hes back they ease him back in, let him get some confidence then a full off season healthy.
[sarcasm]Well, if things don't go well with Guice, we always have Love who I'm sure will be perfectly healthy and step right in next year and not have more injuries himself.[/sarcasm]
The best case scenario might be that Peterson runs well the next several weeks and they can trade him at the deadline to a contender. Then maybe Guice comes back and can stay healthy, or they just sign some random off the scrap heap, and they start to work in Haskins and we get a good glimpse at the future the second half of the season.
yea. i think if we can get some good insight into the young guys later this season it will set us up well. Maybe after the mid point let haskins in if/when the games get out of hand.
I think not activating AP is a mistake but to play devils advocate, AP is a one dimensional back. Granted, one of the best to ever do it but he does limit your offensive versatility.
I would have personally activated AP as well. I can see the devils' advocate position. It was Gruden's post-game comments that I took the most issue with.
Yeah, the REAL best case scenario is that AP runs so well that Gruden is exposed as being completely incompetent and gets fired. (And then I woke up).
i have wondered this for years. i suspect partially the issue is when the offense doesnt sustain drives the Defense will get tired quicker. But it does sound like conditioning is a factor. i also feel like we end up losing one person and then cant recover the integrity of the system. I blame Bruce and Danny boy.
This team depends on oft-injured players every year and it's usually a mistake. Reed has a history of coming back slowly from concussions and other injuries. One year (anyone remember?) he was "hoped" to be back every week for 6 or 7 weeks before he played again. And I'm with you -- if he's too competitive to retire the team should advise him to do so, reach an injury settlement, and move on.
