Something Positive

NBC showed a montage of Romo's back injuries. 3 straight years he has had back injuries, all from hits by the Redskins.
 
Heres something positive for all the criticism Haslett gets (much of it deserved) what he did yesterday with the defense was alchemy given the injuries and absences we had in the secondary. They played a great game of football if against a pretty anaemic 49ers offense it has to be said. But just think by the 3rd quarter yesterday we had no Hall, Amerson, Porter or Biggers. That left two rookies, on an UDFA starting at corner. There was one snap when Breeland went out that we had to slide a safety in at corner, thankfully it was a 3rd and short and they ran it. Clark was banged up as well at safety. I mean we had thin air for a secondary. Amazing job and amazing effort by the coaching staff to adjust on the fly.

Credit as well to the front 7 who masked some of the holes on the backend. Kerrigan and Murphy were very good on the edge, Hatcher was excellent getting in the backfield and Keenen Robinson is getting better every single week.

I also want to think Haslett had a good defense out there but I really wonder how much of that was Krappernick having one of his krappernick games. RG3 really does look horrid but Krappernick has had a lot more snaps always in the same offense, and hes supposedly a really smart dude too, and he hasn't gotten one bit better. That offense is only anemic, IMO, because of the QB. They have players and imagine if they had Brees at QB what Boldin, Davis, and Crabtree would be putting up.

Yeah I was saying on twitter during the game that Kap was doing a lot of the things RGIII is getting slammed for - just with a better O'Line in front of him! I was very unimpressed by him yesterday.
 
Hey man, this is a thread for being positive and not sarcastic. This might be the only thread where we try to keep the negativity out of it.

Can you help us out with that?

Grossman-itis. I actually heard a local radio show (I want to say it was Cooley) who said Grossman had the same type of success off the bench because they are out there simply reading and reacting. They're looking for what defenses are giving them instead of game planning all week for what they THINK the defense will give them. Then when they don't it throws a monkey wrench into the whole situation, and they start thinking too much and forcing.

and they're usually in there AFTER things have already gone South.
 
Everyone on this board got through the Holidays in tact and injury free.
 
Trent is also balling every week. Hatcher was a man on fire this week as well
 
Its hard for me to be positive when watching the games. It truly is. How can one stay positive during the Colts game last sunday? Sorry if I ruined your chatting experience, but I couldn't hide how I felt. But this is a thread about being positive, not be whining about something that happened in the past.

Lets see now. The most positive thing I have seen is a change right here where I live.

Deep in Cowboys/Broncos country. So much so it sickens me. But every now and then, ill look out to the crowd watching the big screen here at the casino and see a old woman, wearing her big redskins hat, jacket with all the superbowl win patches on left arm, and nfc east championships on the right, wearing RGIII shoes and socks. She sits there, watching our guys while surrounded by blue. When the cowboys are winning, the trash talking always gets harsh.

As it does, people from on the casino floor go up to sit with her, all in redskins jerseys. Sean Taylor, Doug Williams, Monk, Riggins, Morris, Hall, Fletcher. All of them standing together to cheer a team that is on a losing streak for two years. Ive felt nothing but guilt being so bitter about this team since last year. Seeing that made me see that we can still cheer even though sometimes we find it hard to. They did.

Sorry to ramble on. But thats just something id like to share.

I remember at the end of preseason, when we cut Malone, and Way was the only punter on our roster, and since no-one could possibly believe that we'd go with a punter with VIRTUALLY ZERO NFL experience, over an experienced guy like Malone, I remember at least one person here saying "I don't believe our 2014 punter is currently on our roster", even as the season was right about to start
The man truly came out of nowhere, and beamed his way straight to the top - about as much as a man can do, at a position like punter.

Now that you mention it... I think I am one of, if not THE one who said that.. Glad to say I was wrong and very happy to see that kid show up!
 
Murphy is improving..especially in the run game. he is not strong as a pass rusher and may force a decision by the team when his contract comes due. yes...just my opinion.
