RedskinsFanatic Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 So does anyone know when the league would hand down a suspension on Holmes if that's going to happen? Also, anyone think the steelers injury to their long snapper will play a signifigant role in the game. Here's hoping we get Chris Samuels back for this game, he's missed beyond measure! :logo: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin101 Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 Holmes already served his one game yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TD_washingtonredskins Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 I think the flukey bad snap that comes with an injury at that position has already happened. I would be shocked if we get a break like that considering they have a week to get their long-snapper ready. I could be wrong though. They are banged up like us, so injuries should be relatively even. Here's to hoping we can continue the NFC East dominance over the Steelers. Though, the reason Philly and New York beat them was due 100% to pass rush. Yikes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rick1796 Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 Holmes already served his one game yesterday. Incorrect, he did not play as disciplinary action from the TEAM. The NFL has a very clearly defined policy that team sanctions have NO effect on punishment handed down by the NFL. So he may well be suspended by the NFL in the near future Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedskinsFanatic Posted October 27, 2008 Author Share Posted October 27, 2008 Holmes already served his one game yesterday. That has nothing to do with an NFL ruling. That is something the Steelers organization did on their own, nothing to do with the league. My understading is that it could be up to a 4 game suspension, but nothing has been reported about it at all. Just wondering if we'll hear something today or tomorrow regarding it. If he doesn't play thats a great advantage for the 'Skins. :logo: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

terpfan Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 Both their punter and long snapper are banged up. That could be interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamestrash Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 Ryan Clark got busted up, too. He was wearing a sling and watching the game from the sidelines after a nice hit on Steve Smith. I heard one of the broadcasters say that Willie Parker will be "back next week" so we'll see about that. The injury sword swings both ways this time of year, so I don't see us benefiting.

DiscoBob Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 We gotta go with our one deep (Landry), man coverage set and blitz like madmen. They are our their 1st and 2nd string runners, so we need to sell out to stop the pass.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still think they would prefer to smashmouth over throwing it all over the place. They are a very physical team and a hallmark of a physical team is a smashmouth offense and a hard hitting defense. I'd say stop the run at all costs than bring pressure on Rothlisburger on obvious passing downs and hope he makes some mistakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THEREALTOR1 Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 On the steelers forum I was looking at today. Most seem to think that he will get at least a 1 game suspension (because Godell is a dick, LOL, not because the idiot got busted smoking weed). Some are even calling for at least a 1 game to teach him a lesson. Others that I read, can't find them not must have gotten merged into another thread, seemed to think that he's only gonna get rehab because its his first league violation. Also, some seem to think that Ryan Clark will be back for Monday night even though he has a dislocated shoulder. Heres a link to the forum: http://forums.steelersfever.com/forumdisplay.php?f=7 Check out "Injury update" thread. Hail! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chasefan31 Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 http://mboard.steelers.com/fanzone/mboard/news/77348?Page=2 Discussion on the Steeler's board about some injuries "Jason Campbell has a skin problem and won't be playing as well as one other player, I believe it is a DE." This is hilarious. Nobody has even corrected him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say stop the run at all costs than bring pressure on Rothlisburger on obvious passing downs and hope he makes some mistakes. Normally yes, but without Parker (at least I expect him to be out) and Mendenhall, they are down to their 3rd option. Moore isn't bad, but I don't they can ride him to victory. If they are going to win it, it's going to be through the air. If we harass Roethlisburger, then I think we'll win, but if we sell out against the run, I think we run the risk of giving him too much time and letting them get 2-3 big plays. With their defense, we need to try to keep them below 14 points.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRay Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 Not sure if Holmes is going to play yet but they're pretty banged up they coming off a very physical game with the Giants so they will be kind of limping in to Fed-EX. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HereComesTheDiesel44 Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 I think the key to this game is protection for Campbell. Our offensive line needs to give Campbell time to make the throws b/c their secondary is banged up. Their defense is really good, but if our offense can wear them down with a steady dose of #26 and some play action, we'll be fine. As for Holmes, I think he will play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With their defense, we need to try to keep them below 14 points.... Good points I think the bottom line is to make them one dimensional, and imo I'd rather have them chuck the ball all over the place than have over 100 yard rushing so both run and pass are in the mix. I think the issue will be harrasing Rothlisburger, in their two losses big Ben was sacked nearly 15 times (8 by Philly and 5 by Giants). Both Philly and Giants run a similar very aggresive defensive scheme (Spagnulo was the LB coach under Jim Johnson for many years). We do not run this type of scheme so I want to see how Blache will play it stay to what we've been good at (coverage) or dial up some pressure blitz packages.

I think Jason will be the key in this game . I think CP is going to have kind of a tough day running against them. However, I believe they will run just enough to keep that defense honest.

the burgundy and gold Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 Ryan Clark had his right arm in a sling yesterday after dislocating his shoulder against the Giants. The Steelers' starting free safety is hopeful he will be able to play against the Redskins. ... Farrior, on the difference in Sunday's game: "They executed a little bit better than we did. That's what it boiled down to." http://www.pittsburghlive.com/x/pittsburghtrib/sports/steelers/s_595489.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
