    It's past time to be a good team...

    Burgold, I feel your pain. But we are literally 5 games into a rebuild. The way we got into this twenty year mess was, for the most part, by demanding a superbowl champion the year after we stunk. Its time to build with youth and depth. It may be next year, or the year after that. But...

    Beck is the Starter

    Exactly. Let's see what Beck is because Grossman is what he is. And he's had ample time to prove his critics wrong. Honestly, my friend had this theory and I agree: Grossman is just too short. He can't see over the line and whether or not a guy is covered. He's going all on feel. Time to...

    NFP: Did Haslett Make the Right Call in the Final Minutes?

    Well, its not the very act of calling a blitz means the blitzer is going to get to the QB. When a blitz is called, a player needs to use some skill to get to the QB. What I'm saying is that it makes sense to not call as many blitzes when your best blitzer is off the field. It doesn't help...

    Cowboys Vs. Redskins Predict The Score

    I think we've turned a corner, but just the first corner. Say we were going one direction (away from winning), we turned a corner and are now going 90 degrees opposite the direction we were going. We need to still one more corner to go back towards winning.

    I will gladly do so.

    Cheers and Jeers Week 2

    I haven't heard anything about how that FG got blocked? I was at the game and my friend was complaining it was Gano's fault for kicking it low. I saw a replay and it looked like Campbell just hopped right over the line without being touched. Who can I jeer for this? :)

    First place

    Check out this stat as well: http://espn.go.com/nfl/statistics/team/_/stat/downs/sort/thirdDownConvPct/position/defense/order/false This is what good defenses do. Good defenses don't care about total yardage. Good defenses get off the field on third down and create turnovers. This could be a...

    Lack of Penalties

    One thing that isn't being mentioned at all, but I think has been demonstrably better this year (including the preseason) is that the Redskins are not taking penalties. I attribute this almost 100% to coaching. No, holdings on converted third downs or long pass plays, or false starts on 3rd...

    Hail to the rookies

    I am guessing that the Giants' game plan was to block the edges more on pass plays, and force the skins to show they can beat them in the middle of the d. Probably sliding pass protection to both Orakpo and Kerrigan leaving Nield one on one often. I guess he showed you have to pick your poison.

    Patriots’ throng of defensive linemen at practice doesn’t include Albert Haynesworth

    Maybe. But fatty was known to take naps during plays even in a 4-3. In fact, he was known to do it at Tennessee. He's a lazy fat crap and he'll do some good and do some bad. Eventually, his coach and teammates will lose all respect for him.

    The one thing I hope many of you learn from this preseason so far

    Ryman, I totally don't understand what you're trying to say. I think everyone agrees that in order to run a 3-4 you need different player types, i.e. players with different skills and size/speed combos, then a 4-3. I think when we've talked about this in the past, we've all been saying it...

    Skins vs. Steelers Chat Room Test

    Yea, that's a handle as far as I can tell. A trend is something you stick onto the end of a tweet and then anyone can "find" your tweet by searching for that trend. Thanks for making me feel like a big nerd. :) Does the chat feature work on an Ipad cause I couldn't find it last night?

    who is to blame for the defencive debacle last year?

    Click the link and sort by 3rd down percentage. 21st in the league on 3rd down. That is about what that team's defense was: 21st in the league. I also agree with Ax, time to focus on this year. Hopefully we see great improvement form the defense!

    who is to blame for the defencive debacle last year?

    I can't speak for Lanky, but what I'm saying is that the previous scheme we had sucked and it wasn't getting the job done. A change in scheme was warranted. I also believe that given that fewer teams use the 3-4, there are personnel and tactical advantages to using the 3-4. I think it was the...

    Predict Our Record This Season

    I think I'm being pretty optimistic: 7-9. I think we're a better team and going in the right direction. Although, I wouldn't be shocked if we ended up with less wins than last season despite that. Whatever they do, don't fire Shanny after this year... one more year no matter what.

    who is to blame for the defencive debacle last year?

    I agree its about winning games. Which leads me to say that top 5 defense or not, I think if our defense helps us win games it will be worthwhile. Again, I don't think the yards per game ranking means much. I don't disagree with that. If they had switched to a more aggressive 4-3 that...

    who is to blame for the defencive debacle last year?

    I can't buy that. The "top ten" defenses we had were always in the bottom of the league for turnovers, and repeatedly were incapable of stopping game-ending drives. I guess if you really feel that those "top ten" defenses were really great, then you'd call last year a debacle. But those...

    who is to blame for the defencive debacle last year?

    If they completely suck for years to come, you're right. But you can't make a determination after one year. Also, I'm tired of this team making moves in the hope that it pay immediate dividends. Invest in your team. Teams that run the 3-4 have a lot of advantages these days with player...
