CPstretch Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 yeah, I laughed at that one. Also, notice he accidentally refers to us as the Cowboys early in the article :laugh: . Maybe we run a slighty different version of the stretch play, or they are saying it's Al Saunders version of the stretch play (which was a big part of his KC offense)? a lottttt of teams run the stretch running play. it is my personal favorite (hence the username). anyhow, the colts used it a LOT with edgerrin. it looks a lot like a sweet, the whole line pulls in one direction and the RB makes a cut by a specific spot on the field and tries to take it upfield. the skins used this play mainly when we were inside the 10 yard line to get it real close down in by the goal line. on a few occasions (tampa playoff game, SF game) CP cut it up and took it in.

Major Harris Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 hmm, i guess i'm conditioned to do so based on our past (maybe i'm running behind in de-tox), but based on the thread title, i thought we were going after a player. :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonef1de Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 and two of their new starters -- Archuleta and TE Christian Fauria -- are actually upgrades. Fauria is a starter? How is he an upgrade over #47? And don't tell me that Chris is an H-back because Saunders has already said that Chris is a TE in his offense. Sorry but Fauria is not gonna be a regular starting player. I think he'll be in certain packages like goal-line situations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Per Redskins.com #88 Fauria, Christian 6' 4" 250lbs #47 Cooley, Chris 6' 3" 265lbs The Redskins signed Fauria, an 11-year veteran tight end, with little fanfare. He is expected to back up Chris Cooley, serve in multiple tight end sets and play a role on special teams http://www.redskins.com/news/newsDetail.jsp?id=17159 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonef1de Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 When they say upgrade I think they mean over Robert Royal I know that but this writer obviously does not follow the Redskins close enough because when Royal was shown the door and Al Saunders took over our NEW starting TE wears #47.

Major Harris Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 Per Redskins.com#88 Fauria, Christian 6' 4" 250lbs #47 Cooley, Chris 6' 3" 265lbs http://www.redskins.com/news/newsDetail.jsp?id=17159 maybe girth was the wrong word. perhaps, blocking skills. or junk in the trunk. :laugh: what i was saying is basically that he will be on the field in single and 2 wr sets. ps. is cooley really 265?

gortiz Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 I love this, I'm feeling the same hype and electricity from 91. I'll never forget reading that the skins were super bowl favorites for the first time in SI that year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Passizle Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 Has anyone else noticed that all of these so called "editors" or whatever they are called, always fail to mention the fact that we now have one of the best offensive minds in the NFL, being Al Saunders?These experts always seem to mention how good our defense has been and that we have added a couple of new wideouts, but no one ever mentions Al Saunders. Read the article again. They mention him in the first paragraph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
