flexxskins Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 Last week, after we beat the Giants it was suggested by some members here that Trent Williams needed to step it up a bit. Well, I watched yesterdays game again to make sure that dominant was the correct word for what I saw. Dominant is the perfect word for Trent's performance yesterday. Yesterday Trent did things that reminded me of just how athletic he really is. My favorite example is when Grossman threw his first pick and DB Richard Marshal was returning it for Arizona. Trent ran Marshal down to make the tackle. But what really made the play look even more impressive was the fact that he was running along side of Hightower when he caught Marshal. (The big guy is pretty fast). On a side note, you gotta love the way Trent shoved Porter during the first quarter skirmish like a insolent little brother.

Chump Bailey Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 The Cardinals are not a good pass rushing team. We'll see how he fares during the next 3 weeks. I'll praise him if he holds up against Ware, Spencer, Long, Babin and Cole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkinsFTW Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 Yeah the Eagles will be tough but i bet they just do what they did to the Cards in the 2nd quarter. If you wanna bring it then we'll just run it on you until you respect it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HailToTheRedskins14 Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 But, but, this isn't any fun talking about a player playing well! Like someone above said, the Cardinals' players that are paid millions and millions of dollars to rush the passer aren't good at doing it! Sure, they're NFL players and EVERYONE is talented, but pffft, they're just a bunch of Boy Scouts. I'll only be impressed if Trent can block one person with each hand while also going out on a seam route and catching the TD. I mean, dude got beat at one point in his career! Every good linemen is absolutely 100% perfect throughout his career! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's had 18 games under his belt at this point and definitely has faced tough competition throughout. If he does well in this upcoming stretch, then my concerns will have been obviously proved wrong.

SWFLSkins Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 He did have a good game and hopefully he can be consistent from week to week. I think he is still developing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paloosa Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 Why discuss this. Everyone already has made up their minds that Trent Williams is not good enough and that he is getting too much because a backup DE had a few good plays against him last week. All of that after on week and now two weeks into the season we want to discuss his abilities. Come on! The guy is doing his job very well and even Chris Samuels had bad games against some of the best pass rushers in the game. If you think you all can do better than go up to Redskins park, get into a Redskins uniform and line up against Trent Williams or try to stop Orakpo or Kerrigan. You may have a better perspective. But then again maybe you just like getting your @$$ kicked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hitman#21 Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 Jason Pierre Paul is a monster, I am not gonna hold that against Trent, he held up well other then those two sacks. Also i like the way he played yesterday! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.T.real,lights,out Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 T. Cole was a monster last night. I hope Trent can hold him back. But he played much better this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibbs Hog Heaven Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 The line was better overall yesterday. Far from great, but after a very shaky start, better. To say any one of them was 'dominant' though is a stretch. Hail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also i like the way he played yesterday! Thanks for taking the words out of my mouth. Though he could have faired better last week, but Pierre-Paul is a beast. However, he will be seeing D. Ware again on Monday night who is one of the best at what he does. Lets see what happens there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justice98 Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 Over/under on Demarcus Ware at 1.5 sacks. He's had 3 sacks in 2 games against Trent (and a forced fumble, as a matter of fact). Does the trend continue or does Trent step up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 The offensive line was the most consistently good part of yesterday's game for us. In fact, yes, calling the entire unit largely dominant is fine. It was the line's ability to handle HEAVY blitz pressure and power open the running game that forced the Cardinals back on their heels. It's true the Cards really only had ONE guy who was an individual matchup issue along the defensive line and that teams with better threats along the line will be harder to control, but, in all, the line responded quite nicely.

I think the sacks and turnovers both ways could could well be high next Monday night. This could well be an error riddled game as the weaknesses on both teams get exposed, but a high scoring fun one with it. Hail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darknessplayas Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 That body slam on Marshall was the play of the week for me . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goskinz0721 Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 He did have a good game and hopefully he can be consistent from week to week. I think he is still developing. He is still developing. And maturing. His post-game comments included "I had to have the Guard tell me what to do on every play last year. But not this year." He's coming along. I really like his attitude. ---------- Post added September-19th-2011 at 08:41 AM ---------- The offensive line was the most consistently good part of yesterday's game for us.

Agreed. They only gave up 1 sack and produced 170+ yards on the ground. Plus the RBs had some nice blocks to give Grossman time. It was another learning experience for a line that is trying to come together as a group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tshile Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 trent williams didn't look that great in the first half of the game from where i was sitting, but sometimes you see a different game from the stands than from the couch. it looked like his man was the one making all the stops. but that's just my opinion, with no advantage of replay (thanks stadium crew. you suck at running the clock and showing replays. two most important things you have to do on game day, and you fail at both) admittedly in the second half I wasn't paying attention to him specifically, so I have no idea how he did. the running game really picked up so I would assume it was due to him performing well. like everything else with this team, one week is not a good sample to really rate anyone or the team as a whole. he's about where i would expect a 2nd year left tackle to be. hopefully he stays healthy and continues to improve.

KingGibbs Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 Anytime you don't hear an OL'man's name called is a good thing. He "stepped up" indeed. Now let's see how he does against one of the premier pass rushers in the NFL next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

visionary Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 He played pretty good, other than that penalty. Definitely seemed like an improvement from last week. The o-line still has some way to go overall though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gortiz Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 what's the word? anyone get a good look? all i know, his hustle and tackle on the second grossman INT was a thing of beauty. check out TXREDSKINS44 thread to see a replay ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwampEm Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 I think that he is going to get better as the season goes on. He looks like he is starting to become the player that we thought we had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
