Iowa Redskin Fan Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 I think the offense and defense are just the opposite. The offense's scheme is alright just needs better players and the defense has good players but needs a different scheme.:dallasuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkypoo Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 I don't think our defense quit. I don't think anyone on our defense quit. I just think that Landry has yet to show up this season. You can't quit until you show up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDSKNfaithfull Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 While our secondary deserves a lot of blame. Haynsworths arrival has meant more pressure on the QB but it also means more running backs getting to the second level on our defense. Under Gregg we stopped the run priority #1 and everybody on the team tackled. The skins lack dicipline Blache and Gray should be put on notice.

theTruthTeller Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 Playing soft only works against teams with weak offenses. You can't do it week in and week out without getting burned by teams with mediocre offenses. And the Falcons are a mediocre offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chunks64 Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 The D is doing the best that they can. Its the offenses fault for sucking so bad that the Defense plays 40 minutes of the 60. Of course the other teams are going to score when the defense gets tired. You cant blame the defense for how the season has turned out so far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F-16 CHIEF Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 This is only the beginning. We're going to start losing games by 40 points because the "easy" part of the schedule is over. Honestly. Who cares? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KillaCam21 Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 we beat maybe the two worst teams in the league at home by a combined 5 points. If we played either the rams or the bucs on the road we would have lost. To everyone blaming the offense, yes it's bad, probably the worst in the league, but even if the offense was as good as the defense we'd still be no better than 3-5, and probably the same 2-6. We've had the easiest schedule so far which is why, even at 2-6, our record is INFLATED:doh:. I'd be very surprised if we won another game all year. This team doesnt just suck, it's agonizingly pathetic. every aspect is pathetic. Just look at how they lost that panthers game. The blocker gets shoved into the returner on a fair catch, are you ****ing kidding me? They face a big running back like turner, he averages 10 YPC, no one wants to tackle him. Did they give up? who knows, but it doesnt matter anyway. They'd be 4-12 or worse if they tried their hardest. once again, they're not only bad, they're stupid and pathetic. we've known this for weeks though. it's Time to look forward to the offseason and hope that snyder gives us a reason to be optimistic about 2010. honestly, even if we played all of our young backups, we wouldnt know how good they are because the coaching staff is so inept. end of rant.

RichmondSkinsFan Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 The defense was grossly overrated from the beginning of the season. I'm just glad to see Blache wasting the bye week defending our POS owner instead of preparing the team and helping them to work on basic techniques and fundamentals that they should already know. Only in Washington, where a team is 2-5 and spiraling out of control, would you see this type of "prioritizing". Not surprised by the results on the field.

Kelvin Bryant Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 The Skins back 7 has Guys Who Can Tackle (led by London, Orakpo, Rocky, Doughty and Carlos) and Guys Who Can't Tackle (featuring Hall and Landry, with random appearances by a couple other guys each week). Carlos is also a featured member of another group, "Guys Who Can't Catch a Football Using a Very Large Net," but that's another post. Bizarrely, the coaching staff doesn't seem to notice any difference between the two groups. When I become king, Hall and Landry will be out of town so fast you'll see blurry cartoon lines trailing after them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mi6 Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 Blache's scheme sucks. Period. The players are out of position constantly. The 10 yard WR/CB cushion is appalling. We never blitz when we need to and when we do, they are poorly designed.Their needs to be a complete culling of the coaching staff including our beloved Dannyboy apologist DC. Agreed. Boy! Do I wish Dan would have treated Gregg Williams with the respect he deserved. I think we would be better on defense, and as a team in general.:doh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dexter's manley Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 This defense sucks. It's just that our offense sucks worse. Seriously, a good defense doesn't let Detroit go 99 yards for a TD. A good defense doesn't get down 27-7 to Philly. A good defense stops the lowly Chiefs when it matters. A good defense doesn't give up a 60 yard run today just when the team looks like it has somehow climbed back into the ballgame. This is not a good defense. In fact, it's a very, very bad defense. And it's still the strongest part of the Redskins team - that's how badly we suck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boss_Hogg Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 They did not quit. They built their reputation on some bad offensive teams. They are an average defense. this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veretax Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 That last TD was Landry's Fault! The guy needs to go back to fundamentals, Tackle first then worry about how hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkinnedAussie Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 Maybe the defense called a meeting with the offense and advised them that they have one half of football to prove they are fair dinkum, otherwise, they (the defense) will start to play at the same level as the offense. Maybe the offense didn't take the hint! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darklight1216 Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 Maybe you guys are right - perhaps the defense didn't quit. You are essentially saying they sucked from the get-go, but it wasn't as noticeable due to playing sub-par teams. That's a reasonable position I suppose.But it really looked to me like they had a total lack of effort on a number of those running plays. Are you really saying they've had a total lack of effort on the defense all year? I don't think it's lack of effort; it seems to be over estimation of their abilities.

Of course the other teams are going to score when the defense gets tired. You cant blame the defense for how the season has turned out so far I'm sick of this excuse. They gave up points on the first drive of the game. This has happened at least the last two weeks. They were barely on the field in the 3rd quarter but managed to allow Turner to gash them when he needed to. Like some others mentioned, the most glaring issues is that our secondary can't tackle. Landry takes horrible angles and Hall whiffs a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duckus Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 We are bland and boring. Our scheme is just blah. Our blitzes are blah. Our 10 yard cushion is blah. We are a boring, above average defense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep that Cushion got exposed (Once again). Hell Matt Ryan went Back to Back passes on that cushion. When the hell will Blache learn??? Atlanta coulda picked that thing apart for 40 minutes up and down the field, then again RB Turner mighta got pissed cause he wouldn't have got his touches...

veteranskinsfan Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 If I was Riggo tomorrow I would come out and say that Blache needs to concentrate on getting his defense ready to play well and spend less time criticizing me (riggo!!).

Monrovia_Redskin Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 I don't think anybody fears the Redskins defense, but then again when has anybody had to play comeback against it? that never happens. this defense is always playing with its back against the wall and id like to see it just once protect a lead see if they really go after the QB. Blache needs to go. Not hiring Gregg Williams on as HC still makes me mad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lombardi's_kid_brother Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 We are finally starting to play decent offenses. And, at some point, the defense is going to crack if the offense continually does nothing. Broncos Cowboys Eagles Saints If we hold those teams to an average of 24, I think you can call us a good defense. I have a feeling that by the time the Saints game gets here, the defense is going to be exhausted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
