CooleyKills Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/story/5234124 Darryl "Moose" Johnston had quite a few lists on the playoff teams here. This was the most disrespectful to the skins. Most balanced team on defense 1. Bears — Chicago's shut-down defense can shut teams down in every way. Looking at the numbers, one might view the fact that the Bears are ranked 11th in rushing defense and see some vulnerability. But remove the 149 rushing yards allowed to Minnesota in a meaningless season finale (at least on defense), and the Bears' per-game average drops to 99.2. Defensive tackle Tommie Harris is the key there in the middle, because the Steelers proved that if Harris is neutralized, then so is the Bears' run defense. I love Chicago's secondary, which returned four picks for touchdowns this season. Nathan Vasher intercepted eight passes himself in a breakout performance this season. As for the Patriots at No. 8 below, normally they are not ill-balanced but New England's secondary is the clear attacking point for other offenses because of all the injuries. Plus, now with DE Richard Seymour and possibly with LB Tedy Bruschi back this weekend, the Patriots are very good with their front seven. So most teams will come in and want to throw the ball against them. Ranking the Rest: 2. Colts 3. Panthers 4. Steelers 5. Broncos 6. Seahawks 7. Redskins 8. Patriots Even the seahawks D is more balanced huh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blugene Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 Johnston is an ex-Cowpunk and absolutely hates the 'Skins. I can't stand his color commentating. He's never objective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellis Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 The most I would go is to say that our defense can be "inconsistant"... but that would only be if I took the first 11 games into consideration. They've turned it around in the last 6 games. Further more, Carolina should be ranked below us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OaktonSkins/BushFan Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 Honestly, having the sports media hate the Redskins, and I mean everything about the NFL's most valuable franchise - ownership/mgmt, Gibbs, players, and fans - is a BADGE OF HONOR.

ouvan59 Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 So what defines "balanced?" Washington 13th rush, 10th pass Seattle 6th rush, 25th pass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thiebear Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 9th defense and 11th offense vs. 17th defense and 2nd offense = more balanced? he's a smart feller... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimboDaMan Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 If i got WJFK i would definitely have this game on mute.Sirius radio is your friend. A very cool thing about Sirius is that not only can you listen to every NFL game but in any game you can pick up both teams' home broadcast.

MattGeorge85 Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 Johnston praising the Skins is like Michael Irvin...it won't happen, and if it does you can tell he hates to do it. I could care less about what any Dallas player, coach, fan, or media thinks about this team!! :logo: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camyj15 Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 the past 6 weeks in meaningful games, 3 against division rivals, 2 for playoff challenging teams, 1 game in the playoffsthe defense allowed 11.6 points a game. I think they're supposed to hit a wall or something. At least that's the given reason. Like I've said before (as if I'm some authority ) if they give the effort of the past six weeks, they win, bank on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grego Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 the past 6 weeks in meaningful games, 3 against division rivals, 2 for playoff challenging teams, 1 game in the playoffsthe defense allowed 11.6 points a game. i believe they have given up a 'whopping' 81 rushing yards a game over that span- allowing over 100 (109) once to the 'boys. thats almost 20 full yards better than the 'adjusted' chicago stat. i would say the skins have faced better RB's as well. thanks for noticing, moose.

I usually don't react to media-hates-skins stuff too seriously, but this one is far out :laugh: Moose is like that to me though, a blockhead. We'll have to hope that one gets to the ears of the D too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martini Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 My God. The Patriots have only pitched what 2-3 shutouts in the last six weeks. They are worse than the seagulls??? That list is laughable. HTTR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
