Post your 1 biggest takeaway from the redskins game

[marionbarberthe4th]

Robert griffin is a terrible qb, he stared down the non existent rush he can't read his progressions he can't throw the ball a few of us called this last year. Not a good player

Murray is as sturdy as a china doll. On the play where got hurt, no one hit him. He simply dove for more yardage and landed on the soft carpet. Also, did Church or Wilcox make a positive play all night?

 

[Midswat]

I was way wrong on Terrence Williams. Hated the selection, didn't see anything special about him, and didn't see why he was even needed in Dallas. But the kid can play.

 

[bbgun]

Also, RG3 sucked in the pocket.

Collinsworth commented on that. He said that the Cowboys recognize that RG3 is a one look QB.

Honestly, thats kind of the case with most athletic (read: African American QB's). And that isn't intended to be racial, so chill out Laz. What I'm saying is, when you have a superior athlete like RG3 and you make him your QB, most of his HS/NCAA coaches just rely on them being the best athletes on the field. Make a read, guy not open, haul ass and make a play.

It's not that they're not capable of reading a defense, it's just that they're not experienced at it. Their instinct is always to run.

Traditional, led footed QB's don't have that option. From day one they have to sit in the pocket and read a defense.

RG3 is a very smart guy, or at least he comes off as very smart. He may one day develop that skill, but he's behind the 8 ball on it. Plus, he doesn't have sound fundamentals right now.

Couple that with the Redskins cap woes, lack of draft picks, and RG3's injury history, and I really don't think he will ever be as good as advertised. Or even half as good as advertised.

Basically, in 20 years we'll be watching an ESPN 30 for 30 documentary on how great a rookie season RG3 had and how he never took the next step.

Also, demarco Murray is fragile and got hurt without any contact

 

[Midswat]

Since we're doing also's we got nice utility players in Beasley and Harris.

Tebow's the same way, and he's whiter than Wonder Bread.

Oh, and Austin was a big ball of nothing last night.

 

[marionbarberthe4th]

Yea that was probably our worst signing in years. That money could've really helped on the lines. Or maybe for reggie bush

 

[Hoofbite]

Drafting Escobar was a complete waste as the team doesn't have any idea on how to use him and the team is much more effective using 3 and 4 WRs.

You have Collinsworth raving about the Redskins TE who looked worlds better than Escobar has thus far......he was taken like 50 picks after Escobar.

Chris Collinsworth can see that Dallas sucks using 2TEs just by watching a single game but Jason and his Princeton paperwork won't let it go even though 6 years of nothing has materialized.

 

[Hoofbite]

$20M in cap space beats off on the bench. Thanks Jay and Spence.

I remember when people were like "how are we ever going to replace Anthony Spencer"?

Sign some guys off the street who are hungry.

 

[ZeroClub]

The Cowboys are stuck in that vast middle range of NFL teams ... the mediocres ....

They are just as likely to finish 9-7 as 7-9. It is (equally) unlikely that they'd have 10 or more losses or 10 or more wins. They are mid-range team.

They can be enjoyable to watch sometimes, though.

I dont think Reed is a more talented guy, you were right saying that Red has no clue how to use him. I can't think of one good reason why Escobar can't be effective down the seam. Not one.

 

[Rock Slamdance]

Once again, despite trotting out a bunch of JAGS, the defense at least plays with a fire they haven't had in eons. Marinelli I'd guess.

 

[Mr.Po]

Austin is expendable. Trade him to a desperate team now while he has some value.

Williams, Beasley welker whitey, and Harris can pick up the slack and all deserve more playing time.

 

[2233boys]

This team is .500 at best

I read where we went empty like half the
Time Against the broncos and it was obviously ou most effective lineup.

I Believe it clears things up For romo and increases the likelihood he will find someone open of the 4-5 targets. It creates less confusion in the blocking as its 5 OL against however many rushers. So a blitz is a clear hot read. Or even better should romo
Shake the blitzer.


And if randle is starting this week then obviously you don't need to go trough the charade that he will
Be blocking anyone. So best to spread it out.

 

[Omegasupreme]

The game is still mismanaged and Garrett almost threw the game in the third. Dallas is up 21-9 and the best thing to do is methodically move downfield and eat up the clock; give fewer chances for the next Redskin score as well as stop the blitz. Dallas starts throwing and Romo is throwing into coverage because generally if there are no other deceptions or play fakes, most defenses in the NFL know the tendencies of the Cowboys routes. So Dallas gives the ball and momentum back to the Redskins after they pressure Romo and smother the receivers. Even if running the ball on first and second down yields 3 yards, the time off the clock and the yards reduced for the first down area much better strategy than 3rd and 10 with an all out Redkskins blitz. The pass plays are terrible by themselves. Need motion, play action, picks, new routes, or new formations....anything...anything but "go out and get open on 1".


Terrance Wiiliams made a great catch, but it was Romo scrambling and no one open that led to Williams "staying alive". I just can't understand why this is considered a standard well executed TD and not a continuing example that the offense is lacking novelty. It was a TD yes, but its not a success that is going to be replicated as "a play" called in the huddle.

 

[diehard2294]

We are what our record shows mediocre...

we need a real running back threat one who stays healthy

our defensive line is like a mash unit

our offense still has no identity

basically the same thing we've seen for the last couple years
