I think Young and Sweat are the highest set of teammates on that chart. Considering that each of their respective growth makes life even easier for the other guy, that is a horrifying omen for other teams regarding their future. These guys are in year 1 and 2... and Sweat was so raw the meat was not only still attached to the bone, it was running free on the Savannah. They are already scary. Those two after a full offseason will be nightmare fuel. I'm salivating like I'm getting to meet the brains people that work at NASA.

Regardless of players involved, Terry's was way more impressive due to short field and impediment of other players, but Metcalf's was far more dramatic as you saw it play out over the course of 100 yds and 80 of them only really featured the two players. It was like watching a train wreck, could not look away. Felt like an eternity of "Is he really gonna run him down" as opposed to the foregone conclusion of "Yeah, he is not outrunning McLauren" Had time to balance the checkbook on that Metcalf play, it was crazy. In a vacuum the plays were not so different (110% hustle) but the Metcalf one was 3x the show

In all fairness the punter was going out for a pass. Still an unGodly awful playcall, but the punter did his job. Hudson played his role beautifully and forced the ballcarrier to run the ball instead of pass. And this would not be the 1st, 2nd, 3rd or 4th game that Dallas would be accused of giving up on. That is a severe problem they have dealt with all year. By no means does kicking the Thanksgiving stuffing out of Dallas make us a good team (I still don't think we are very good either) but it is honestly better than the alternative in terms of growth. With another solid FA period, in a time when most teams will be cash strapped and behind the monetary 8 ball no less, and another 2-3 major contributors from the draft, we can be pretty competitive very quickly next year. Not SB level, but playoff level.

SWEAT IS NOT HUMAN We just saw former DVP JJ Watt make that same play, but it does not look the same as when Sweat does it. Look at the height he gets with that frame. Look at the explosion once he gets the ball in his hands. Look at the stride once he gets up to speed. The man is a specimen and you can not teach that. He defies Physics. I will say it again. He is making all Zombies proud. The man is Frankenstein

Irvin, Rich and Warner had Dallas on NFL Network. Mooch was the only one who gave us the win there. Irvin also had CD Lamb having a huge game.

I don't believe he ever had much issue filling the physical role in terms of coming up and being a reliable tackler. His issue is coverage diagnosis and execution. To be honest, I don't feel like they tested Kurl too much (Darby was in the cross hairs) so this game really played to Kurl's strengths. He looked very good today, but I would expect that in games like this one. We will see in the future if he has improved his coverage.

Mooch lone wolf'd it for WSH

I don't believe we are a good team, but hey we are not Dallas Cowboys bad. That playcalling was not even questionable, I was loosing my Thanksgiving stuffing on that fake punt and I'm a WSH fan. I was mad for the Dallas fanbase on that one. Zombie simply cant stomach playcalling that is that bad, regardless of its source. If your gonna beat a Div opponent, might as well embarrass them on Natl TV. Fun to watch

I don't think you can reasonably be anything other than happy with his play. It was basically and emergency situation given our injuries at LT, and he filled in admirably. That being said I would in no way want to think about Moses as our long term LT right now. The Bengals have a pretty poor pass rush, so this was not exactly MT. Everest that Moses and the OL climbed. They faced a sub average rush, and did pretty great, that is the long and the short of it. I do sleep better at night after this knowing that in emergency in game situations, Moses is more than capable of kicking out to LT if need be, and that has impact on both peace of mind and Moses' worth financially speaking. That just under 10M for a RT deal looks a lot better now than it did last week.

I swear every week it looks like Young pulls even more offensive line focus than the previous week.

We badly need someone in the GM seat. We have no one looking out for our long term football interests right now, that has to change ASAP.

Whoever scouted Gibby to be a pure running back with only 33 attempts of tape to watch in college should be running around their offices doing the A Rodgers Discount Double check. His development has been meteoric. I'd still like a more Kamara like roll for him, but you can not deny what he has put together with the opportunities he is presented with.

Have not watched a lot of Bengals, so I don't know if there sack issue is A.) Burrow likes to hold the ball B.) Oline is turribad C.) A-B Whombo Combo Either way, pans out well for us. We could use a big day from our D-line

I'll stay lukewarm on Cam Sims for now. I'm not getting too infatuated with a guy who has 13 career recs and a was not the healthiest guy on the planet beforehand. While we are in HORRIFIC need of a WR of his stature, it does not mean much when the player rarely attacks the ball and instead lets it come to his body. Double that when we don't take advantage of his size at all via playcalling. If we are not going to make people pay for not paying extra attention to a 6-5 guy with jump balls, we are probably better off running a small guy at his position since he would likely do it better due to shiftiness. He is big and fast, but I feel like his size is almost negated save for the occasional broken tackle. I hope to see his continued success, but I just don't see a longterm #2 on a healthy offense and I'd only slot him in as a three if you have a small lineup and we do a better job taking advantage of his size. He is actually getting some playing time now, maybe we are seeing rapid improvement rather than a flash? Who knows He'll be dirt cheap to re-sign, but I'm not exactly banging my tombstone for it to happen (Zombie Pun)

Cam Sims is in the final year of his two yr deal. Considering he only has like 9 career recs, I don't see anyone banging down the door to bring him in. I'd be shocked if he got anything more than a 2-3yr deal worth 1.5 M in the Free Agent Market, and that is before considering next yr will be a down yr due to cap. If they want him, they can easily afford him. We get Harmon back, which is nice, but we are still in desperate need of another legit WR. Even more so if we continue to use Gibson in a non-Kamara like role and the constant dispersal of S. Sims role in our O. I think the best way to add the kind of player we are looking for is via trade. A lot of teams will need to cut cap next season, maybe we can take advantage and secure someones else's player for cheap. (*cough*M. Thomas*cough*) If we can make that happen, I will bust out my "I just found a fresh brain lying in the street" happy dance

While he has the rushing and rec ability to be a 3 down back, its really hard when he is so bad in pass pro. I've loved most of what I have seen from him so far, but until he improves there you will continue to see a lot of McK and Barber Either that or you increase the amount of two back sets, or you give Gibby his plays at WR.

Gotta take everything that comes from the team on the name change with a massive grain of salt as there is heavy insensitive to milk this thing for all its worth for a myriad of reasons. There is almost no way we hear anything concrete as long as the season is alive. (Zombie Pun) Any smart run operation would not be fully invested in a single name either. They should be jumping through the legal hoops on several possible names and focus testing a deep pool of designs. While they could certainly have narrowed down option A, options B,C and D should be ready to go as well, and that will add to the timetable. -Gotta compare and contrast the cost of doing business with Ark St vs the free uses of just plain Washington Wolves. -Gotta figure out how much time/money you want to invest in the WFT brand as that becomes lost assets the moment you change. The longer you wait, the more that financial band-aid will hurt coming off. -Without vaccines for the general public coming until the middle of next yr (likely) how would you market the new stuff to get it to sell? You cant exactly bring players in to model it, which would be the ideal option. You wont have that same herd effect of seeing all the new gear all over the DC area, which is important for acceptance. From a financial and acceptance standpoint it may be smart to wait. The more I think about it, there is a good number of reasons for a longer timetable. That being said, I am dreading another yr of WFT. 1 is enough.

We can start by getting this man a Robin. Its amazing what this guy does being the only real threat in our receiving core.

Nothing anyone would admit to, but it is noticeable on tape. Also I see it impacting his long term hustle. There have been a few occasions where the rest of the D-line strongly pursue a ball carrier to get in on a gang tackle, (where it is obvious he is not needed) and Young noticeably lets up in pursuit. Nothing in his way, and he may be even closer than some of the other guys but he clearly gears down. That was not something he was doing early in the year and I believe it is to ensure his own health as he is not 100%

Bye week should help Young more than most. While he has been very effective (esp in the run game) getting his explosiveness back after that groin injury will be huge. And he will get another shot at a bad Oline after the bye, so I will continue to expect success from him. He has a good head on his shoulders and a good brain in that head, so I think he knows he needs to repair his body in this time off.

Plz no to another year of WFT. I gave it a pass for this year, as a name change on short notice while doable, is a massive undertaking. I can understand the thought process of taking your time. There is no reason this should take more than a year however. Then your just trying to out wait the wave of negative press and use the name as a clean re-boot, but we all know it does not work like that. Just let us be the Washington WarmNFuzzies and take our money in exchange for a ridiculous amounts of Wolf merchandise and move into the next era. Not rocket science.

As far as knee injuries go, you can't really get better news than that. I'll take it. If we IR him again does the Bye week count as 1 week of 3 for the short term IR? Since there is no game for us? That would open up another roster spot

How bad is Wrights injury? When is St. Sims expected back?

I think you would need to find the necessary darning deets long before a court trial. Trials can end in massive cash settlements where everyone's problems mysteriously go away and no one is punished in the traditional sense. If this thing goes to court, and Snyder is still in control of the franchise, I see even less chance of his removal than I see now.

If we want to win games, the less snaps that go to Ryan Anderson the better. Man is killing me right now. And I'm a Zombie. Keep Kerrigan.
