Leonard Washington Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 on the last drive of the 4th quarter, i don't think we used our time effectively. i can't give a play by play of what i would do but i wonder why we didn't try to spike the ball, run out of bounds, or at least hurry up. obviously we got points, but i don't like the way it went down. comments? personal insults?

E-Dog Night Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 It did seem eeriely similar to the beginning of last year, didn't it? We gave up any real chance we had of scoring a touchdown by not using that timeout earlier, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TD_washingtonredskins Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 Nope, we made the plays to get down field and use our only remaining TO to kick a game-tying FG...why worry? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warhead36 Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 Worry because we could have easily gotten closer and maybe even score a TD. Once we got within the 30 with 30 seconds left we should have called a timeout. With 30 seconds we have plenty of time to get 3-4 good passes in and possibly get closer to the end zone. Instead we flopped around and managed to get lucky by getting back to the 30 despite the stupid penalties with just a couple of ticks left on the clock to hit the tieing FG.

TheLongshot Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 Yeah, I can't say it was particularly smart, but it might have been because Campbell was in the game, and Gibbs wanted to see how he handled it. Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wskin44 Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 The coaches' inability to manage the clock is going to cost us a game soon if they don't get their act together. And then this board will howl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TD_washingtonredskins Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 The coaches' inability to manage the clock is going to cost us a game soon if they don't get their act together. And then this board will howl. Well it cost us games last year. I'm not denying that. However, I think this clock management had more to do with having a bunch of kids in there (minus Dyson). Either way, we'll see...I think the staff has learned a thing or two from last year. The worst part was the 20 seconds that ran off the clock after a completion. I think we went from 35 seconds to 15....I don't think it would have taken our starters 20 seconds to get to the line and stop the clock. With one timeout, I too would have been hesitant to use it knowing you'll need a FG to tie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubba9497 Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 uh, I believe that was more a rookie qb's fault than the coaches. we have ran three or four "2 min" drills to near perfection before that one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingGibbs Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 On a positive note. I thought Campell showed alot of poise running the two minute offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dreamingwolf Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 I know the commentators told the viewers to complain about the management, but the real problem was the wasted time outs earlier in the second half. What happend in the tieing drive was we had a minute and a half to move the ball to field goal range with one time out, and we saved our time out for an inbounds reception in the middle of the field to allow time to send in the field goal unit. To get the tie was a miracle given the performance to that point, what the real suprise is the doom and gloomers are the ones crying that we didnt manage time correctly cause we are so scary good on O that we should have got a touch down.

SamSneed36 Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 It was lookin very similar to the eagles in the super bowl. Jason did a good job gettin the team downfield, but much like last year we severly stalled once in enemy territory. Fortunatly it was the 3rd stringers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leonard Washington Posted September 2, 2005 Author Share Posted September 2, 2005 uh, I believe that was more a rookie qb's fault than the coaches. we have ran three or four "2 min" drills to near perfection before that one i would like to believe that, but the responsibliity of the coaches is to tell the qb to spike the ball if this happens, tell the guys to hurry up to the line and get set, and call timeout if that happens. obviously the rookies and future free agents made mistakes, but the whole team seemed more disorganized than it should. and i shudder to think it may had something to do with the coaching staff's indecision of what to do.

Brown 43 Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 Kids, this was the last preseason game and our starters only played the first quarter? Please, stop picking all the negative out of this game! Think about the Pittsburgh Game and how well our starters did in that game and leave it at that!

McMetal Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 Apparently Theismann was disappointed because it was all he could talk about at the end of that game. I'm willing to believe this was more on Campbell than the coaching staff, so it doesn't worry me too much. We'll see if it carries over to the regular season...
