scottlo34 Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 :logo: I truly believe that the Redskins O-Line is the absolute key to this game. I expect to see the big guys up front get confused for the Hogs of old because they are going to go in to Quest Field and completely obliterate the Seahawks defensive front. We are going to see Portis, Portis and more Portis. Don't be surprised to see the Redskins run the ball 50 times on saturday and completely wear down the Seattle defense. Keep the Seattle offense off the field and that means Portis and the Dirtbags. I see Redskins 27-20. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Love_Them_Dirtbags Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 Absolutely. As go the Dirtbags, so goes the Redskins season. The easiest way to beat Seattle is to disrupt their rhythm, and keep their offense off the field, which you do by churning out yards and working the clock. Portis, Betts, Portis, Betts, over and over... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjcdaman Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 Yeah, I think we are going to take our chances downfield, but basically our gameplan is going to be pound CP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpass Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 Of course we are going to run the ball first. But also look for a couple of tricks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeKnowsBest Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 I agree. The Dirtbags is what makes the O go round. If they can win the line of Scrimage, than we can do every thing we need to do. Brunell to Cooley, Portis, Betts, Portis, Betts, Moss end around, Brunell to Cooley, Portis, Betts. We'll control the clock and score all while keeping the Seahawks offense on the bench. Make no mistake about it though, we will have to pass more than we did last week if we want to accomplish that. Because they will stack 8 or 9 in a box if we don't keep them honest. That's why I love play action so much. Fool the D, Freeze the Linebackers, and make them think while we beat them. Same thing on first down. I noticed last week, EVERY single first down we tried to run. Well the defense will know that's comming if you do that ALL THE TIME. And it showed because we were put in 3rd and long the whole game. I say the Dirtbags should dominate, but we still need to mix it up to keep the DBs and LBs honest. Safeties especially. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poteet Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 Without a doubt, the Seattle defense has improved this year. However, their D is built on speed, not power or strength. They get a lot of sacks because they play against a lot of teams that throw the ball and they are fast. However, if we stay committed to the run (which Gibbs always does), you will see Seattle's D wear down by the 4th quarter. Portis and Betts will average roughly 4-5 yards a carry in the 4th quarter. Not because of one big run and three for no gain, but because they'll be gaining 4+ yards on EACH carry. Again, this is all contingent of the Skins winning the TOP and not turning the ball over during the 1st three quarters (which will force them to abandon this plan and play catch up). But yes, our O-line should be able to wear the speedy defense down. Gut and Power Baby!!! It will pay dividends by the end of the game! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rigelian Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 No team has beat the Seahawks by pounding the ball up the middle this year not one. The Redskins didn't, Jacksonville didn't. You beat the Seahawks secondary, not the linebackers and the defensive line. If that's the plan, it's a bad plan. Rigelian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diesel22 Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 I think our O-Line will be successful saturday. I just really miss Randy Thomas. We could do so many different things with him in there.... And to think he got hurt during "mop up" time vs Dallas -- Man that sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AllBusiness Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 Portis IS going to have 120+ yards this week. Running/Receiving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most teams didn't beat you rushing the ball because most teams didn't beat you! And since you were ahead of most teams when the 4th quarter arrived, they had no choice but to pass. Like I said, if it's a close game and Washington has stayed committed to the run, then you WILL see Seattle's defense wear down. Most defenses wear down, but those that are built more on speed wear down even quicker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HawkMan Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 SEATTLE DEFENSE: Number 2 againgst the Run Number 1 in sacks Good luck with that gameplan of yours... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poteet Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 SEATTLE DEFENSE:Number 2 againgst the Run Number 1 in sacks Good luck with that gameplan of yours... There you go with stats again. We've got quite a few of those too, but stats can be skewed. Here's an example...... we rushed for 141 against you. If you played rushing teams like us all year (and gave up 141 per game), where would that rank you? What quality rushing team did you shutdown?

rigelian Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 On the argument that the Seahawks have that advantage because teams have to pass, take a good look at the numbers. Teams only averaged 3.6 ypc against the Seahawks run defense. That's the 4th best ypc against average in the league. You beat the hawks with the pass not the run. The redskins averaged 3.9 ypd in the game at FedEx. I don't think this is a feast against bad teams, just a good solid run defense. I think that any game plan against the Seahawks is going to rely on the pass. Rigelian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ant15fromNJ Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 Very true the O line is so key this game so portis can run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mania Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 I believe both the OL and DL will have a huge impact in this game. The only thing I am nervous about in this game is how loud Qwest Field gets. Because of the overhang a lot of the sound gets trapped in the stadium and it is almost as loud as a dome.

Popeman38 Posted January 12, 2006 Share Posted January 12, 2006 Just for statistical correctness, the Seahawks are 16th over all in Defense. 5th (not 2nd as you claim)against the run and 25th against the pass. Good try caw caw fan.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
