hmm, Eagles fan here so no love for the Redskins regardless. But i think you guys will be a pretty good team this year. The injuries you had last year were just ridiculous. I like Cousins over Smith, but if a coach knows how to use either both can be good. i agree that playoffs are a stretch which may be the reason why excitement isn't that high, but i think you guys are better than Dallas, and probably close to the Giants
What the #### are you talking about? 90% of coverage is sports over politics. Seriously. Link one political story and I'll link 9 that are focused on the sport. Or do you want me to go first? I'll even post 9.8 to your 1 if you want.
I'm tired of sports radio coverage being about general topics, or star players, or the host's bright-idea-of-the-day. I'd rather listen to beat reporters any time. I realize beat reporters aren't all smooth talkers like radio hosts (listen to how many times John Keim says "Um, yeah, um" for example), but at least a 2 hour show of local beat reporters every day, including talk with beat reporters from around the league, would be the most interesting Skins coverage allowed.DallasDMac said:
Oh he faded all right. Faded from view.
The last time I saw a chart of their X, Y, and Z depth at WR during the preseason, there was no backup for Doctson. Who goes in if he keeps not producing?
The problem, I think, is 24 hr sports channels that have to fill the time. There are only so many plays & scores to show. After that, it's personal stories and controversy.
This Colts game looks like an opportunity they have to take advantage of, especially if Aaron Rodgers is gonna be healthy when the Pack comes to DC in Week 3. Facing the deep NFC South this season is less than ideal, and the Skins close the season with 4 of 6 on the road including at Dallas on Thanksgiving, at Jacksonville and both of their games against the Eagles.
Thank you. We haven't had many real good games to celebrate in the last few years. Why do you think the Cards didn't use David Johnson more?
Part of the issue was the Cards didn't have the ball much at all. And by the time we did have it, the hole was too deep and we had to throw.
This will be an interesting test for the Redskins -- a winnable game certainly but no guarantee by any means. We've seen this TV show enough to know that things can go from sunny to cloudy in a heartbeat! That said, the key to me in this game is if we can sustain drives to limit Luck's chances and then once he is on the field if we can contain him. (Basically, I said nothing there, but we need to play better offense and defense, lol). But what I mean is: from what I can surmise, the Colts do not have a stellar defense. Gruden needs to dial up the run, run, run again this game -- not simply to score points but to limit the number of times Luck has it. Had it not been for Doyle's fumble last week, Luck likely would have engineered another game winning drive and we'd be viewing the Colts entirely differently. Luck through 53 times last week. He's gonna sling it while on the field. For this reason, it's going to be an enormous test for the young secondary. TY Hilton is a threat and it looks like former Redskins Ryan Grant is the second option. What that means is as good as Luck is, there is not such weapontry there that we cannot hang with those receivers. We need to shut TY Hilton the heck down -- lock him down as first, second and third priority. And, unlike last week, we need to get a pass rush going. Luck is a little better than Sam Bradford and if you give him time, eventually Hilton or the TE Doyle will break free.
Trey Quinn also placed on IR. Harris back at practice but not totally cleared. Brought up Jehu Chesson, WR from practice squad...second year guy via u of Michigan and KC Chiefs last year. The move seems to be for special teams as he has experience as a kick returner. But wow, he’s one Josh Doctson hit away from being our fourth WR right now...
Mo Harris has cleared the concussion protocol. Provided there are few coverage breakdowns (and assumption of rational Coaching on Gruden's part - assuming is always dangerous, and this particular assumption not a safe wager, at all), tomorrow's game could be won on the backs of Peterson/Kelley/Thompson. Kudos for the 'skins not jumping the gun.
hahaha they are who we thought they were. Week 1 was cool but they arent a good team. WRs are bad.
One of the few things I miss from living in Metro area Here’s a blast from the past to maybe lighten the mood
Cheapest seats still apparently $100 range...those are nosebleeds. Add in parking, food, etc and I just can’t see taking my family there and dropping $600 + dollars with other real needs. And Snyder will never make the experience affordable to the common man. We on this board are among the die hards, but he has essentially killed the team for many in this area.
