SkinsAllDay34 Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 Ok this is a feeling everyone has been getting every week it seems..."I have a feeling Thomas is going to break out this week?" It seems it is said against every team. I got that feeling against Arizona and Philly. (Thomas actually had 2 big catches in that game). But this week has me more optimistic than all the rest. The Lions are next and they have by far the worst secondary I have ever seen. Along with horrible rush defense (CP big day?? You betcha). Devin Thomas is basically coming back to his hometown and Kelly is going to probably play. I really think both might have good games and this is the part of the season where both of them need to step up, even Fred Davis, because we need all the weapons we can get down the stretch run. What do you all think...?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Backpack3r Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 I dunno, like you said its been said every single week We should send Devin Thomas on a long streak, dude is very very fast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BurntToast Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 Why do we even want to put the ball in the air against there crappy run defense? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aghar Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 I would like to see this entire offense have a break out week. By that, I mean score more than 30 points on a terrible team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dfitzo53 Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 Why do we even want to put the ball in the air against there crappy run defense? There are any number of valid reasons. 1) So that Campbell has experience doing so if we need to against teams with better run defenses. I don't think we're going to run all over Philly again. 2) To put less wear and tear on Portis. 3) To break games open. It's hard on a defense to play ball-control games. Sure, we chew up clock with Portis gaining almost 200 yards, but we never really pull away from the opponent. One fumble or blown assignment and they're right back in the game.

Stormy Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 Devin was matched up in man-to-man coverage several times in passing situations this week, and we never even feigned looking at him on a deep pattern. When Coach Zorn allows a guy like James Thrash to run futile deep patterns with zero separation, and even gives preferential looks to Rock or Fred Davis split wide... it just makes you wonder when Devin Thomas is ever going to get a look at a deep ball. Philly throws deep to their rookie wideout (Jackson) 3-4 times a game, not to mention utilizing him as a runner and return man... while Thomas can't even get a sniff from our staff, despite ZERO production from Thrash at WR, or any of our returners. It's downright disheartening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's downright disheartening. i made a point of watching him when he was on the field, and they were a number of times, i'd say at least 3 or 4 that he was either pretty open or very open. JC didn't even look his way. I would love to see us try and get him involved in the redzone. At least give him a shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commander Adama Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 To give film of our (hopefully) successful air attack to the Steelers so they don't stack 8 in the box against Portis...Let them stack 8 in the box. Then we hack at them through the air...Moss, Cooley, Randle El, maybe even a little Thomas and Kelly, then run. Once their safeties start edging towards the line, go over the top. I understand that Polamalu is a fantastic safety, so it will not be as easy as I said, but stacking 8 in the box, sure makes it a ton easier on the passing game.

Peregrine Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 I think it will be another run, run run type of day. I see no reason why the Redskins would stop running the ball against a really bad team who is unlikely to score much points. We really dont like the whole putting a team away thing, and I dont think its going to start this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cubanl81 Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 Well I know that Malcolm was healthy enough to play, but was inactive because of other needs. Since it looks like Springs will still be out does that make him the odd man out again. I would like to see Thomas have a break out game. But if we have to "suffer" thru another 150+ day from Portis. I guess thats ok too lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandyHolt Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 i think we will be lucky to get three catches from our three rookies this week. They dont even bother to cover Thomas deep anymore; I am not sure they ever have. Kelly of course will probably not be able to go no matter what we hear. And please, no more TE reverses. If these guys dont know the playbook, cant we teach them each like 5 plays? Call that play, get them out. Sadly, I think we expect the full playbook.

COWBOY-KILLA- Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 This would be an excellent week to try and work them in more. Davis is inching closer and may be the first to really break out. Thomas' attitude has been good to help wherever he can. Kelly just needs to get healthy and an opportunity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
