Jofizz Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 This has been said many times before, and it is absolutely true. Our drives are long, gritty, and time-consuming. This team rarely will bust open a big-play. Im talking 60, 70+. Moss can do it, but he is not going to see man coverage on a go route more than one time a game, if that, and in order to get that ball to him, the rest of the play must be executed perfectly. CP, yeah, 5 or 6 years ago, but now he is the hard-nosed tough-yardage back. Very valuable, but does not have the open-field burst to house it. We cannot continue to let these bad teams hang around all game. The Skins need a player to step on the throats of our opponents, and let them know the game is over. Hopefully Devin Thomas or Malcolm Kelly can step-up into this role, because it is something this offense badly needs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TD_washingtonredskins Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 They should bring Anthony Alridge into camp. The dude is fast and looked good in some preseason games this year. I can't recall where he played this August though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skins PR Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 Our drives are long, gritty, and time-consuming. One game against the Rams... Usually our drives are short, ****ty, and last three plays Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sawyer5500 Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 I was just thinking the same thing. We have solid, but not explosive players. Look at Chris Johnson from the Titans, the dude busted off two 50+ yard TD runs and like a 60 yard TD catch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Lloyd Christmas Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 they decided to keep 3 runningbacks on the roster who are all pretty much the same mold, just theres a pecking order as to who is better. we need that ahmad bradshaw/darren sproles/felix jones type to counter portis. betts and mason are just the same portis mold with less skill.

onevaguy Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 well the times moss was open the o line failed to give jason time to throw the ball,,or he was running for dear life,,,we just are not good period 5-11 this year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SIXX99 Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 we need a bradshaw or sproles, and these guys are found in the later rounds. What about a guy like Noel Devine out of West Va. He should be around a 2nd or 3rd pick which isn't a late round pick but it is a good value for his speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nebster21 Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 Moss's speed is going down. Randle El has more catches. Come on our game breaker only has 5 catches. That does not sound like a game changer to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirClintonPortis Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 No, we need O-linemen who can run block and some "playcalling 'roids" for Zorn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probos Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 Wow,...ya really think the Skins need a "game-breaker"? Hmmmm,....maybe you're right. Let's contact the Danny right away and let him know that. :hysterical: Thanks for the news bulletin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly!!! And who's to blame for that? The genius that is our very own Vinny Cerrato. It is so far beyond me why something so obvious cannot be seen by someone who's "supposed" to be the expert. I think we'd be better off without Portis and then a scat back as a change of pace. No explosive players.....So f'in depressing...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Probos Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 Malcolm Kelly tried to step into that role on the first play of the game. If JC delivers that ball to him in stride it's a TD. Would have set the tone for the rest of the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He should be around a 2nd or 3rd pick which isn't a late round pick but it is a good value for his speed. I'd say no to that. I've met the guy. I have friends that went to high school with him. The guy is a selfish punk with serious character concerns and a criminal record. He's got speed and strength. I watched the guy run for 350 and 6 Tds in high school. But he'd be a risky pick up.

Jofizz Posted September 21, 2009 Author Share Posted September 21, 2009 Malcolm Kelly tried to step into that role on the first play of the game. And the DB made a good play on the ball, but unfortunately the throw forced Malcolm to slow down his stride to try and make a play. If the ball was thrown more down-field, Kelly likely breaks away for a TD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicken Fried Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 Like I've been saying. It's not that we don't have the receivers. (We actually don't have the running back, but we have the receivers. The problem, and I'll get blasted for this, is Jason Campbell. He looks like a good quarterback to everyone because he was throwing short, safe, 10 yard passes. Being that this game was against the Rams, the receivers were then able to gain many more yards after the catch, making JC look great. The thing is, however, Campbell ONLY throws safe. He never tries to thread it in to the guy who is maybe covered one-on-one or is just barely becoming open. THOSE are the plays where big things happen. JC doesn't want to take the risk of throwing to someone who isn't totally open. I'm also tired of hearing it's Zorn's fault. Yes, his playcalling is terrible. But can you seriously say that on plays were JC throws short there wasn't a route for another receiver to go deep or at least run an intermediately deep route. Most plays call for a deep route, whether it's designed to go deep or designed to be a decoy for another guy. But are the RAMS, the RAMS going to cover these deep routes like blankets? JC doesn't have that "it" factor to launch it to that guy. He's a game manager, not a game winner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theboomking Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 I really think that we will be looking closely at Jahvid Best and CJ Spiller in this year's draft. I'd love me some Best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warhead36 Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 Agreed. 10+ play drives are great but you simply can not rely on them, as it basically requires that you be perfect on every play. Having a big play weapon means you only need to execute perfectly once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dackerman Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 I wish we had a Darren Sproles type player. No, scratch that, I wish we had Darren Sproles period. Love that little guy. He's probably one of my favorite players in the league right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkinsAllDay34 Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 I got your gamebreaker....well at least in a year. Take your pick: Jahvid Best RB Cal CJ Spiller RB Clemson IMO these guys are the most electric/explosive/exciting players in college football Best Highlights 08 (10 minute vid)http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PXPyVblpqRc Spiller Highlights 08 (7 minute vid) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skins island connection Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 Bring in the "Mitchell-In" man, we sure need a big physical receiver, because Kelly and Thomas aren't cutting it. Wait, what am I saying?! we don't have a QB to throw to them anyway... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mooka Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 We were 28th last season in passing plays of 20+ yards. 29th in passing plays of 40+ yards. 4th in rushes of 20+ yards. Tied for last in rushes of 40+ yards with none. Our offense is anemic. This is the biggest problem with our offense, it threatens nothing. It cannot open up the defense. The red zone only seems like such a critical problem because our team cannot score otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
