The next time he touched the ball on a run was when the Panthers were pinned back on their own 3 at the end of the first half, and gained 2 yards on 2 carries. I have no idea why the Panthers completely abandoned the run today. Maybe they felt like they could beat the Skins more through the air, and Newton did have a very good day...…..except for his beach ball (WTF) that Norman snagged, and at the end of the game after getting to our 15. the Panthers only had like 22 plays on offense in the first half tdoay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many times have we seen in recent years Tress Way pin someone inside the five only for the D to get immediately gashed with the run for easy first downs that somehow turned into 90+ yard scoring drives? We pinned them and the D stuffed them. That deserves credit. Maybe it should be normal, but it's something a Haslett, Barry, or last year's defense couldn't do. It's okay to be happy when the Redskins do something well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Redskins didn't stuff the run on those drives...….because the Panthers didn't run!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Panthers didn't run because the pass was more effective than running, doesn't that mean we played better run defense.

The DL for the most part wins their matchups, if we improve on the back end we could be dominant. Stopping the run takes 11 guys. But your DL HAS to win or else the whole thing falls apart. Now that the DL is playing better, the LBs and secondary have to clean up tackling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renegade7 Posted October 15, 2018 Author Share Posted October 15, 2018 I'll say this: this Dallas game is probably the biggest test of this run defense we've seen all year. I'd say the Carolina game shoulda proven enough, but apparently not. We know exactly what Dallas is going to try to do to us. If they can't, they're stuck pinning their hopes to Cole Beasley. I can see this team talking about this repeatedly during the week, they know what time it is, they know what they need to do, there is no rocket science here for this game. Either we stop the run or we don't, which will be the difference between winning and losing, better believe that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically it comes down to who runs the ball more effectively, and who is better at stopping the run. If we can do those things, we win. If we can't, we lose.

Renegade7 Posted October 22, 2018 Author Share Posted October 22, 2018 Held Elliot to 33 yards rushing, I'm all in on the run defene now, I don't see how you could think it's not for real at his point. Beyond impressive what they've now done in back to back weeks. 6th in you now, going up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hail2skins Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 Unlike last week, when I thought Carolina abandoned the run far too early, Dallas tried to get it going all game, and the Skins bottled Zeke up fantastically. My one quibble was when the couple times Zeke did get a nice 6-7 yard gain on first down in the second half, Garrett calls a pass on second and short. Seems like so many of these coaches are pathological about passing these days...…..has to be 2nd and 1 before they'll keep it on the ground!

London Kev Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 I'm late to the thread (again!) and voted Yes. Shutting down Elliott the Ewok was probably the number one goal on defense this week and they got the job done admirably. I thought that tackling as a whole was solid and they got enough pressure on Prescott to keep him uncomfortable in the pocket. This young defensive line is growing more confident each week and is becoming the heart of the team. There's been a lot of talk regarding the team's lack of identity, maybe the D-Line is finally stepping up to create one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ONLY reason we were not last in yards is because for some reasons, teams where not running the ball much against us. It's gotten a little better since then, but once again, it's not like teams seem to be trying to run much against us. Because when they do, they have been for the most part, effective. I watched the Cowboys struggle to run the ball all day yesterday. Zeke had little room to run, most of the total rushing yards they accrued were from Dak at the end of the game.

Spaceman Spiff Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 They did a great job on the Ewok yesterday. Fantastic, actually. That will probably be his lowest rushing total for the year. I voted too early to tell. Next week against Barkley is going to be a big test, too. If they hold him in check, I'll start to believe it's for real.

Alexa Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 Give these guys credit. They can stop the run. The pass is a different story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGreek1973 Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 Shutting down two of the best teams in rushing back to back shows we have improved immensely. However I do think we need to do a little better job with the running QBs. Yes we stopped Zeke yesterday cold but Dak run all over us in the 4th quarter and it was really his legs that almost got them back. So why didn't we adjust and have a spy on him or adjust the rush to contain him better. This is what I want to see from the Redskins staff during the game, adjustments that are effective.
