C-A-P-S Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 Are you kidding me Maclin is not that good he is a rookie and he can only do so much. Kinda like that Rookie DeSean Jackson and his paltry 62 catches for 912 yards. Look just because our rookie pass catchers are pathetic doesn't mean other teams rookies won't excel. Maclin will be fine in that offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C-A-P-S Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 So why the fret with the bet? JC will already screw up the season and by mid-season there is no way they go better than 8-8. I don't see how anyone can blame Jason Campbell with that O-line. Its horrific. Probably the worst right side in the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wvtbred Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 I don't see how anyone can blame Jason Campbell with that O-line. Its horrific. Probably the worst right side in the league. Jason makes it look that way. Remember in '07 how the oline wasn't protecting Jason etc? What happened when Todd came in? They all looked like Pro Bowlers. Just let it go, please.

SWFLSkins Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 I don't see how anyone can blame Jason Campbell with that O-line. Its horrific. Probably the worst right side in the league. But according to Greg the OP, the Redskins would be much better off right now with TC or Colt, and he won't take a bet that they would finish higher than 8-8 this year with or without JC. The post you you commented on was dripping with sarcasm. And as far as your comment goes, that was last year. Let's see what a healthy Thomas, Doc, Williams, Heyer shake out. The team knows it is a problem, you think they are ignoring it in camp? I venture to bet if it continues to be a problem in camp come June 1st cuts they may add another OL to the roster.

They all looked like Pro Bowlers. Just let it go, please. You have somewhat of a point, except that last year when healthy Campbell looked his career best, after the line dropped off, so did the offense. I will never let go, it all happens in the trenches. Ryp was not a great QB without the HOGS. If the line stays healthy this year and/or has some new faces step up, Campbell will be fine. Everyone keeps jumping on TC's bandwagon, and I hope he can play well, but where is that going in the long run? The guy is a career back-up QB coach for a reason. Maybe his are wears down, IDK. I like the guy, but in the long run? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Probos Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 Many of you have your head up your arse about the new season expecting all sorts of wonderful things to happen like Campbell suddenly getting it; Mike Williams making all of us forget Jon Jansen; Zorn regaining control of his team, and so on. Forget it. The Skins are in for a rough time this year. Here are 5 reasons why: (1) Offense sucks. There has been little or no off-season improvement, the QB is suspect, and the OL still is unsettled. Too much reliance on Portis, a "dink and dunk" passing attack, and unimaginative and conservative play-calling spell less than 20 points/gm once again. (2) There is no team chemistry and no leadership on the field. Campbell's unassertive demeanor combined with Portis' petulant moodiness brings the offense down. On defense, while Fletcher tries hard, primma donnas like Haynesworth and Landry tend to play their own game rather than adapt to a team concept. Coach Zorn does not seem to have the steel to forge a "team identity" of any intensity and the sideline during a game frequently reminds one of a "wake." (3) The other teams in the NFC East are all improved and can score points. While the Skins may "steal" one or two "wins" like last year, they do not have the ability to "dominate" in their own Division. (4) The Skins are forever rebuilding. Last year's second half regression tells the story of a team lacking depth, talent at key skill positions, and a will to win. Until they overcome these deficiencies they will remain a "bottom feeder." (5) The uniforms suck and are badly in need of a bolder, more aggressive and modern "new look". At the very least, the arguably "controversial" helmet logo should be changed. At this time of the year, when all teams are even, its easy to be optimistic. But in the case of our beloved Burgundy and Gold, I see little reason things will be any different in 2009. Tell me I'm wrong and why? I can't tell you you're wrong because I agree with every point you made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fasten your seat belt ... we are about to enter the No-Spin Zone!:gaintsuck We'll see, but I gave you the oppourtunity to cash in on your wisdom and choose not to. I guess your not that convinced. Jason, Jason he's our man, if he can't do it someone else can. Good thing about this year, JC has it or not, finally once and for all. But the bet still exists, 9-7 or better vs. 6-10 or worse and really that bet favors you, because everything else is a push. And you don't just think Jason sucks, you think the team does, including the uni's. The Redskins could not possibly be improved over last year, right? Sit and spin on that.

The addition of the uniforms suck, is because you could not think of anymore good reasons to list. No teams suck, because their uniform is outdated.

Gregpeck99 Posted July 31, 2009 Author Share Posted July 31, 2009 Wait a minute ... I'm the OP ... I call the shots ... right? And I say this thread has no life support anymore cause the TC is ongoing and the point made and argued endlessly was that the prospect of a successful season was bleaker than anyone had a right to "realistically" expect cause of a sucky offense, no chemstry, being a weak sister in their Division, not having enough good players, and very ugly, possibly "racist oriented" uniforms. However, now that TC is in session, these basic presumptions are subject to change ... one way or another ... or not at all. Sooooo ... I see no rreason to continue ... and I hereby press the "self-destruct" button. 3-2-1- "BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
