Strung Out
...it appears the only thing the Redskins have taken away from the first three games is that we must be good enough to dick around with the poorer teams.
Nowadays, when you don't have a threat to run from the QB, you struggle in the red zone.
Stafford can't run.
Brady can't run.
Peyton can't run.
Eli can't.
You're right, they can't, but they don't believe it so they run when necessary. Grossman knows it and believes it.
17 points.
I don't care who the quarterback is; Ramsey, Brunell, Campbell, Donovan, Beck or Rex; until we have 3 viable WR's, we're gonna always struggle to light the board up. It's been, what, 6-7 years and all we have is a solid #2 as our #1 and that's it.
Those guys don't run because they have people to throw the ball to. You see Stafford throw into TRIPLE coverage to Johnson!?!?! We got nobody. No super star. No solid second tier types. Hell, all we ever have is journeymen.
You see us throw even 1 ball yet, just air it out and have anyone who was any better than, maybe, a step behind the defender?
All good and valid points, but we are a long long long way from recovering from cousin Vinny. Baby steps and I am happy to see progress finally.
Great draft this past year. Dumped fat boy. Turning around.
I hate to say this but, if it's me, I trade Cool and Moss this off season for more picks.
Moss has little value, IMO,..Cooley just a bit more..Both are undersized for their positions and doubt any team would give up much in the way of draft choices. I think the skins are better off keeping them because both are smart and good examples of the type of players the skins want and for the locker room. The change in culture is every bit as important as anything else for this team, IMO. Look at Dallas, unbelievable talent on their team, but as a team, they are a bunch of knuckleheads.
