...gotta say that #10 (Jackson?) being banged up and not being able to hold onto the ball saved our bacon.

Player of the game?

Taylor or Landry or Plackemier?

Landry. He doesn't double up on Brown; he(Brown) may have been able to stretch that ball across the goal line as he goes down.

 

[cattitude]

I figure I'll try a Caps game out.

You wanna go? I've never been.

Redskins defense is ranked #5 before the game.

They are the only defense in the entire league to not give up 25 points or more during the season.

...better than last years unit.

Imagine if they'd just get some help, just a few points to work with. 6-2 with a little help. 2-5 without much.

We know how the Ravens feel.

Even a bit of offense helps immensely. We had that bit in the first 8 games and were 6-2.

Horton the Predator comes through again.

Did he move here from the jungle Nool?


Did he make the philly defender look like a fool?

Remember when Arnold got b*tchslapped near the end?

They may want to rethink that prevent defense when up by only one score though. I was holding the littlest guy during Philly's last drive, I had to put him down with 1:30 to go, I was getting a little animated.

Is it too early to start a draft wish list?

Blache said they weren't playing prevent. They were playing spy on Westbrook the entire game. The two minute offense creates those little dump-offs, which go for 10 yards each time.

 

[kom526]

which go for 10 yards each time.

Which eventually can add up to a possible 7. :shrug:
Landry was laying the lumber today, hopefully he'll become as respected (feared?) as #21 was. I think it was one of his best games so far.

That's the calculated risk you take. You're looking to burn clock and you're not worried about how many yards they gain.

Protect the deep ball and end zone and kill the clock.

We did luck out when Jackson dropped the ball in the endzone

Meh. Landry and Hall smacked him around the whole game. Alligator arms.

Which almost didn't work this time.

I'm not a big fan of a 3 man rush because eventually a receiver is going become uncovered and the you're either hanging your head or hoping the coin toss ends up in your favor. Besides, the way the D was playing for the 1st 57 or so minutes was working just fine, so why change? I'm sure that Sam Huff was in the booth screaming his head off about the defensive scheme being used at the end of the game. While Sonny was saying, "Now calm down Sam we're going to win this game and I'm going down to the locker room now."

...Landry has had a lot of good games. This one sticks out because of the hits yet that is more a symptom of where McNabb chose to go with the ball than anything else. We don't hear much about Landry game after game because he does his primary job so well; deep cover. As far as I am concerned, he is a far better safety than Taylor because he doesn't make the never ending mistakes that Taylor made getting beat deep.

...it's a simple argument; trade yards for time.

If you play your base defense, you risking someone getting beat deep, slipping, falling down, pass interference in tight coverage. In the prevent, you're playing zone, helping out over top and keeping everything in front of you. Jackson dropped passes in base both times; he was one on one with Hall. We got lucky. In prevent, Landry is there for both of those instead of trying to watch for a slant or something under.
