P'Oed Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 I really think Marcus Washington has been moving around a lot better these past 2 weeks. Seems to me he's come a long way since being a step too slow in the Dallas game. And I actually feel like he's a legit threat on the blitz again. Anyone else think we have the old Marcus back? Do we have to worry about replacing him? HAIL TO THE REDSKINS! ENJOY THE 5-2 WEEK EVERYBODY! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingfish50 Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 He looked good today but I wish to God that he'd quit all that damn dancing after every tackle. I mean every tackle, c'mon! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewCliche21 Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 He did look really good today. Reminded me of the Washington of 2004. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChettEye Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 He looked okay to me. The dancing is annoying, I know it's a "pump you up" thing but you're a grown man!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brandymac27 Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 He looked pretty good today. I think he's finally over that damn injury. It's great to see him back. And personally, I like the dancing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedskinFeathers Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 Aw I like the dancing...well sometimes its a bit much but usually its humorous and he's also really good about pumpin up the D and the crowd.

He had a fresh hamstring injury, and they take a LONG time to heal. It's amazing he is playing as well as he is, because you know that bad boy isn't all healed. That's why he isn't playing every play like he usually does, which is smart. In all reality, the smartest thing they could have done was have him sit out the Dallas game, but you know players like Marcus would HATE that, so he played injured, and you saw the result. He never fell from grace, he just played injured, quite like Jason Taylor. Do you want to replace him, too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen a lot of talk on this board about replacing him and I was wondering if that sentiment was still the same after seeing his performance lately. I think he'll be even better the healthier he gets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slacky McSlackAss Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 Washington has clearly lost a step. He has no rush ability at all any more, and his coverage skills are far from good. Give me Blades in there over Marcus any day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slacky McSlackAss Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 I'm going to assume you're kidding considering Winslow's 2 catches for 17 yards. There were a few overthrows where Marcus didnt have coverage. Aswell as him taking wide angles and just not being seen. I honestly think hes lost a step and is not that player that we had from '05.

I've seen a lot of talk on this board about replacing him and I was wondering if that sentiment was still the same after seeing his performance lately. I think he'll be even better the healthier he gets. Cool. Me too. The man runs 90 to nothing ALL the time' date=' which unfortunately isn't good when you need to heal an injury. Hopefully he stays smart in that regard and the coaches and therapists make him rest and heal when he needs to so the injuries don't flare up, or in this case worsen. I have no doubt that as long as he stays healthy, he'll play like he's on fire! Washington has clearly lost a step. He has no rush ability at all any more, and his coverage skills are far from good. Give me Blades in there over Marcus any day. Serious: Slacky! I'm SO glad you are "okay". I missed you at the tailgate today. We are going to keep you in our prayers for fast healing and hope you get back soon to the Monday night game. Joke: I heard you got a concussion. I hope it isn't true, but by the likes of this post, I fear it may be. :doh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean every tackle, c'mon! lol That's what he does. I remember him being animated while we were down by 13 late in that game we had in 2005 at Texas Stadium. It's just one of those things I've learned to deal with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HateOffSeason Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 I could be way off base here, but I think this is also a case of the defensive philosophy changing around the deficiencies of a player. Washington has been slower, whether from age or injury, I don't know for sure. The change is that more often than not it seems like its Macintosh in coverage on the tight end in pass patterns. I'm not sure how they make the change so that the weak side guy is covering the tight end, but it seems to happen regularly. Maybe when the TE motions, we just have confidence in Rocky enough that he can just cover instead of running Washington accross to keep in coverage. Either way, it seems to be working. Our coverage on TE on pass plays has been excellent, and Washington has been a very positive player on our defense the last 3 weeks even without performing at his top physical levels.

The defense sure is setting the standards this year. Now if only the O could raise their game and put some points up to ease our poor hearts..... Hail.

milliondollarslim Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 a healthy Marcus , McIntosh and Fletcher with Blades as a backup is a very good tandem. I am certain that it was only the injury that was affecting Washington, he has a LOT left in the tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
