***Week 1 Game Thread - Wash at NYG*** (2 Viewers)

Eli is 9/18. I don't like QBs with that completion %, but you gotta like what he does with the ones he does complete. But ask me that question again when he throws an INT and we see the ELI face.

Jacobs has impressed tonight, but Im glad I dont have him on any of my teamsSame thing they did last year with splitting carries. Ward and Bradshaw will be getting too many carries for Jacobs to get to Top 10 status despite the skill being thereI still dont know why they pull him out sometimes on short yardage and GL sometimes......an of course im playing the guy that has Burress and London Fletcher....@*^$^!(!#^*&%

Not sure why anyone would draft Jacobs as an RB1, so not being in the top ten probably won't be disappointing any rational people.

My point was hes got the talent to be a top 10 RB probably if he even got 70% of the GMens carries over the season, but it doesnt look that wayEven if he does get 80-90 yards tonight, Id still be frustrated as an owner with him looking so good but being out for whole drives at a time

This years Skins play calling looks just like last years so far. Open up the field for crying out loud and take a shot. NYG are daring Wash to do something deeper than 15 yds with all the guys up in the box.

When you're not protecting him, and when his receivers are covered on the short routes (which were what was called obviously to instill confidence/tempo in Campbell) then what do you do?

I think the protection has been more than adequate. Campbell is creating his own trouble thus far.

I think you're overestimating how open his receivers are. Now, he shouldn't hesitate and hold the ball like he has, but his first options are consistently blanketed. I'd like to see some adjustments. For example, Moss often eats the Giants alive, and they need to take a shot deep to him. But they need to call something other than routes near the LOS because those aren't working.

Santana is so quick he should have a "money" route by now. There's gotta be one quick scoot that no one can cover that lil bugger on.Clark can't cover Davis or Cooley, put em' both in.

Ummm, thats exactly what I'm saying.

You are correct - I'm scanning more than reading, so substitute a for my other post.

Burress is looking like a PPR monster in this game.

 

[Dought Man]

If body language is any indication, the Redskins aren't buying in to Zorn. This will not end well when he is fired week 9.

 

[JGalligan]

Glad I have Burress/Manning on my team this year!

Glad I tried to be sneaky-smart, starting Randle El at my WR4 spot. At this point, I'm just hoping he's in the general vicinity of a fumble or something. Is a stretch to hope for a mere two targets?

 

[Peyton Marino]

No Jacobs on that drive??Ward is looking mighty valuable about now.

 

[delusional]

whose the basement team in the east? redskins

 

[Jeff Pasquino]

Near Pick 6......

 

[jurb26]

This is no easy FG.

 

[Tremendous Upside]

wow, Db has to catch that

Are you suggesting Smoot shouldn't have caught that?It hit BOTH hands

i'm laughing with you, gb. that was horrendous.

Gotcha

 

[Hipple Long Ware & Peete]

I tell you what, I'm all up on the Eli Manning bandwagon. He looks confident. That throw he made on the first drive where he forced it into Burress between two defenders is the kind of pass I don't think he'd attempt last year.

 

[sjacksonfan]

Sweet stop by the 'skins. After the pick-6 will only be 23-0 at the half.

(last year El owner)It seems they only go to him when they desperately have no other options. Moss is healthy so starting El wasn't a good idea. IMO He's underappreciated in WASH.

 

[yinzer]

Coughlin should definitely just sit Burress

That '11 mill jump in his step' wont run out so quick then

 

[sjacksonfan]

Wow. Brutal microsoft commercial.

At the moment, passing is underappreciated in Washington.

 

[bulger2holt]

I am so glad I stayed clear of any and all Redskins players. Their QB blows.

 

[T Bell]

Wow. Brutal microsoft commercial.

I kept waiting for the funny part. Has it happened yet?

 

[FavreCo]

On pace for 600 attempts and 300 completions.

 

[buster c]

vaGiants should be up by more than this. anyone who has watched enough football has seen games where one team is owning the other...but failed to put them away. not saying it'll happen tonight, but I'll always remember Dallas 13-0 on MNF, week 2 of 2005. of course, that was with cagey old pro mark brunell, who probably did complete a pass before the half

 

[jurb26]

Rock is a sneaky good return man.

 

[T Bell]

ROCK!

He's underrated as a KR.

 

[Tremendous Upside]

When was the last time a 1st half went by without a QB who played the entire half completing a pass?

 

[Dought Man]

Odds that redskins score points here?

 

[yinzer]

If it means anything, NYG special teams hasnt looked good

Cartwright's returns just keep getting longer

 

[JGalligan]

 

[Tremendous Upside]

woo hoo!:startingCampbellthisweek:

 

[T Bell]

I could live with 16-7 at the half.

Wow, a completion!!!!

 

[T Bell]

Odds that redskins score points here?

:improving:

 

[T Bell]

3 Redskins 1st downs- 1 passing; 0 rushing; 2 penalty

 

[Dought Man]

Is there an RB in the league who earns each and every yard like Portis does? Every carry is a battle with that OL the last year +

 

[jurb26]

If Wash walks away from this half at 7-16 we have a game.... remarkably.

 

[yinzer]

Apparently Randle El must be their WR1 since they let him run longer than 6 yard routes

 

[jurb26]

WTF is Wash doing with the clock?

 

[yinzer]

NOT a fan of that 15 yard only facemask change

Not big on the pushout rule change either, but its not near as bad as that

 

[jurb26]

Never mind.

SANTANA MOSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[j3r3m3y]

WTF is Wash doing with the clock?

Using it well?

 

[Yenrub]

 

[Max Power]

Campbell is pretty good when he only needs to toss the ball 5 yards down field

 

[3nOut]

Manning has been making some bad throws but is getting lucky.

I'd have to see them over again but I think Toomer may have run bad routes on both of Eli's "almost" INTs. Manning had discussions with him after each of those plays.

 

[T Bell]

I've been saying for weeks that they plan on getting him the ball. Now, they actually need to complete something, but that's the plan.

 

[sjacksonfan]

Miracle half-time hedge opportunity

 

[teamroc]

Why isn't AB starting?

Getting most of the touches?

He was a consensus top 30 RB around here. I missed the memo about him being a 6th round, 3rd string RB. Probably should have been a sticky.

 

[yinzer]

score by randy's midget brother

No kidding. Were they supposed to save time for Jacobs to steamroll some more?
