Dare RGIII to run...just a wee bit!

How To Stop The Read Option: Eight Man Front, Cover 3 Backend

Yeah, you have to stop something and take your chances. It was clearly a long thought out game plan and it got undercut by losing Burnett (at least, we're assuming - if Burnett regresses this year, meh). Still it woulda worked better with a little more help from the O in ToP/turnovers.

You've listened to MM too much - from today's presser:


Peri wasn't listed as limited or DNP, but that could have been an oversight by the press.


Does Bush hurting his hammy count?

WTF will all the hamstring injuries anyway. Something seems wrong with their stretching or conditioning program.

Sitton, Burnett, Jarrett Bush all questionable for Sunday. Finley and Perry probable.

My guess is none of the questionable s play.

Brace yourself for more brutal safety and offensive line play.

So it's not 100% Perry will be there? Is our 'Fire Darren Perry' thread gathering steam and TT is considering it?

Wow, not looking good for the 2012 draft class. Three top picks may not be playing. Worthy and Hayward definitely not, Perry listed as either probable or questionable.

No, I think it means Darren Perry is doubtful about how the safeties will play Sunday.

Average OL, mixed D (great pressure from the edges, so so defensive line, crappy secondary), had two rookies on offense with magical seasons last year. RGIII won't be his normal self this year, which is going to limit the ways he can hurt a defense. I predict Washington has a big fall-off this year into the 6-10 neighborhood.

Their secodary is a week spot, however they have a good pass rush which should be better with the return of (cant remember highly touted 2nd year players name, O something or other). Any oline that can get morris running like that and protect a mobile qb (while in the pocket) is good. I still think we win.

RE Guiness and Fritz, clever.

Orapko and Kerrigan.

I didn't know this and it could be a big deal. Redskins' placekicker Kai Forbath is Questionable for Sunday's game. The Skins are reportedly trying out replacement kickers. Source: http://www.rotoworld.com/playernews/...layer-news?r=1

That's what worries me about this game. Those turnovers were HIGHLY unusual for Washington. Last year, Washington had only 8 interceptions--tied with Green Bay for the fewest. Combined with 5 fumbles lost, they only had 13 turnovers last year. RGIII protects the ball (and I think he shook off some rust last week), so it's very likely that they'll do a much better job this week.

RG3 looked pretty poor in my opinion. I know it's apples/oranges but it took Peterson 4 weeks to get back to normal, then he went nuts. Griffin wasn't planting when he threw which I thought was the biggest thing. The run threat is probably gone for a couple more weeks and he better stand in there and plant and throw or you guys will eat that team alive.

Brace yourself for 0-2.

It's TT's fault these guys are hurt?

[packer4life]

Assuming Sitton plays (I think he does), we will be fine. Our pass protection against a better front 7 was ace last week. Orakpo and Kerrigan may notch a few sacks, but there should be ample holes in coverage, as their secondary is just as bad as ours if not worse.

I predict Sitton and Burnett both play. This will be a high scoring affair, but I don't think they have the goods to stop our offense, esp given that Lacy will be able to move the chains a bit better. Packers 34, Skins 24.

[Harlan Huckleby]

I hope Sitton sits if he is not 100%. It's a long season.

Slide Barclay to guard and wake-up Newhouse. I'll take a healthy Newhouse over Sitton with a tricky back.

Maybe Sitton can suit-up and shoot-up as an emergency backup.

[Fritz]

I hear the 'Skins were trying out kickers. Wouldn't it suck if they signed Tavecchio and he hit a game-winning kick just after Crosby missed one?

Whistle!!!! That is just plain evil!
