101573, Week 4 @ Oakland Win heading into the Bye
Posted by Dae021, Wed Oct-02-13 11:48 AM
- Ugly start with a blocked punt, man I bet these fools are REALLY missing Danny Smith. The special Teams have looked terrible all season and if this continues I can see the steams coach being held accountable. Perry Riley missed a stunt and the defender walked on Sav, they even talked about this exact thing during the week and still couldn't execute. Still no flash or even decent returns on punts or kick offs.

- Can you name the Redskin who is tied for 3rd in the league in tackles? London Fletcher? NOPE, there's no one else it could be right, wrong its Perry Riley. Dude may be the one that will have to step into London's shoes after this year. The issue is that Perry is really bad in space and gets lost in coverage a lot. In zone he usually doesn't get to his depth and that zone is wide open directly in front of the corners and safeties, but he's tackling well which is way more than you can say about really anyone else on the D.

- The Defensive front 4 had a good game against a really bad offensive line unit. Barry Coefield has been playing at a better level than really anyone on the line. If he doesn't have that cast on his hand the first 2 weeks there might've been a few more sacks. Rak had a decent game, but missed a sure interception that would've stopped the drive that lead to Oakland's 2nd td. Those are the types of plays that better plays (Kerrigan) makes all the time, meanwhile he gets his hands on a ball maybe 6 times a year and comes down with maybe 1. That shit is incredibly frustrating.

- The secondary played much better this week, primarily because the front 4 was pushing the pocket and they were playing against Matt Flynn (That dude is really stealing money) David Amerson's play on the ball in the middle of the field is exactly why we drafted him. Watching him get got again on the outside in a one on one by a subpar wr is once again NOT why we drafted him. Overall it was a much better game, lawd look at how much better this unit looked with some real pressure up front just by the front 4.

- If Al doesn't get hurt, he's going for 135 and possibly 2 tds. The run game looked quite good this week and should be the emphasis in Dallas. If they can run the ball they can control the clock and game and give themselves a chance to be in the game late so Dez and Romo don't run away from them.

- HELLO HELU! This is what a healthy Roy Helu can do for your team. Great open field instincts and cut backs. Good speed and vision, still not patient enough on the zone reads to open that backside up, but against a team like the raiders the front side was so open it didn't matter. Swing passes to him in the future could be big during this season.

- Griff looks better as he's supposed to with more time. Decision making isn't where I want it, but its better and he actually threw the ball the 2nd time after he was flagged for intentional grounding the first time. The less this team has to depend on him to win, the better off they'll be. He shouldn't have 300 yards passing, that's not their recipe for winning.

- All in all good win on the road after taking a uppercut to the chin early in the game. I'll take it, btu just know this will not be good enough for this team to even be in the game at Dallas. If they play like this, it'll be a wrap.
