Vladimir L Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 We can go deep? Pound the ball at you? Play solid special teams specially when Hall is back. Spread the ball to Coley, Sellers, Patton, Thrash All those TD passes to seller are going to pay big because defenses will start keying in on him in the redzone. On defense well we can stop the run and shut down the pass. We give up 1 big play a game though but as the year progresses we will get better. With Arrington back we should be able to chase the QB. Turn Overs I know will eventually come. So recap top 5 offense top 5 defense possibly I like this team. :gaintsuck :notworthy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dalecitymike Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 I think the fundamentals are key for our success. We can't turnover the ball, and expect to win from week to week. We didn't turnover the ball this week which was great. We also can't make tons of penalties week to week, we had a lot this week, but not as many in the past weeks. :point2sky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkinsGuy Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 Darn, Dale, it 5am. No reason to yell. It's hard to say, since the 49ers are such a BAD team. You can do anything and everything on them. But, I feel if we eliminate the mistakes, there is NO team we can't beat and handily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matador36 Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 We are the "worst" most balanced team in the NFC :laugh: <sarcasm> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thiebear Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 IF we get a turnover or 2 there is no team that can hang with us. IF we don't there is no team that can't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kappaluvacee Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 I think our balance is well documented by the conference offensive rank and defensive rank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burgold Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 What's great is that the defense doesn't have to do it all. There is now an offense to cover them. I wonder if that explains some of the mental lapses? The defense last year knew they had to be perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henry Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 #8 passing offense #4 rushing offense #4 passing defense #15 rushing defense Our one weakness, I suppose, is that we are only slightly above average against the run. Other than that, yeah, we've pretty well balanced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than that, yeah, we've pretty well balanced. Williams needs to figure out the reason we give up 1-2 big runs every game, it's killing the rush defense stats. They stop these great runners all game, then give up 1-2 big plays each week. :doh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Underwater Ally Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 The deep ball and the down the field passes aren't quite where they should be. We haven't really been able to strike it big with any regularity since the Dallas game. The big TD to Moss was a little underthrown and the defender either lost the ball in the sun or just gave up prematurely. But we've got a great short and mid-range passing game, and a lot of balance with the run between Portis and Betts. Lets hope Portis' splash into the endzone continues. Our D is very good, and I think with Arrington getting significant playing time and a healthy secondary, it can be downright great. The NFC is wide open this year. If we can shore up the run defense and expand the passing game a little bit more, I think we could be, dare I say, unstoppable??? Wow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
budski Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 Did anybody notice that when the skins finally did have to punt the punter looked a little dazed or confused for a minute. Was he taking a nap or something on the sideline!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dawgjk9 Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 i think we are the most balanced already, and i think if we can get a turnover or 2 every game like someone said up there i forgot who (sorry) and if we dont turn the ball over multiple times a game then we probably should/will be the best TEAM in the nfc...

Well, we are tied for 12th in 20+ yard pass plays, and tied for 5th in pass plays of 40+ yards. Not bad considering we've played one fewer game than most teams. I don't think getting the ball downfield through the air is a huge problem for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt'n Obvious Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 I would have to say the Redskins are the most balanced team in the NFC, maybe even one of the most balanced in the NFL ( I think the Colts are the most balanced personally). It could be a long season for opposing defenses when they see us come up to the line. :helmet: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingdaddy Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 The NFC is there for the taking. If the Skins stay healthy and keep getting better, look out!!! How exciting is this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FBChick Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 Actually we are the most balanced team, but the one area we still need to show improvement is our red zone rushing. I just can't count what we did against the 9ners as proof that we figured out the red zone running. Give me at least one rushing TD in the next two games and then we are a solid, well rounded team that will go deep into the play-offs barring too many injuries.

Not bad considering we've played one fewer game than most teams. I don't think getting the ball downfield through the air is a huge problem for us. Thinking the same thing.. Watching us last year compared to this year is night and day. We are a beautiful team to watch offensively when we aren't shooting ourselves in the foot.

Most of our big plays have been from some nice yards after the catch though. As long as the big plays are comming, no worries, but its nice to be able to get it done in as many ways as possible. It would also be nice to see Portis finally break one. He's come close a number of times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vladimir L Posted October 24, 2005 Author Share Posted October 24, 2005 If we start getting turn overs and keep the turn overs to 1 a game we should be dominant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
