jimster Posted September 21, 2004 Share Posted September 21, 2004 in Gibbs' press conference, he mentioned him along with Marcus Washington and Pierce as the brightest spots on Defense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bulldog Posted September 21, 2004 Share Posted September 21, 2004 other than Bowen's 38 yard TD, the defense played very well yesterday and did against Tampa as well. the D has given up only half of the touchdowns the Skins have allowed :mad: Gibbs took Brunell and Portis and Williams was supposedly left with the spare parts and yet Gregg is the one driving the cadillac right now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RySkins Posted September 21, 2004 Share Posted September 21, 2004 Actually, bulldog, the D has only given up 1 of the 3 TDs we've allowed. By my unofficial count, the defense has allowed only 1 field goal on drives that started outside the Redskins 38-yard line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ancalagon the Black Posted September 21, 2004 Share Posted September 21, 2004 It's sad when your defensive line has to make tackles because opposing RBs and scrambling QBs are getting past your blitzing linebackers and secondary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know Todd, Though Bowen was ht eclosest defender, I blame Lott for his failure to come over and help w/ that play. Carter got the inside seam on him, and Lott was NOWHERE to be found. That was the secondary's fault, not Bowen's. And if the blame goes on someone, I say it's on Lott. Notice how the downfield passes stopped when #36 was in???

Cole Posted September 21, 2004 Share Posted September 21, 2004 Bowen was the inside defender. Smoot was playing on the outside. I can't imagine that there would have been three defenders responsible for Carter on that play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freakofthesouth Posted September 21, 2004 Share Posted September 21, 2004 BUbba and Cole, you're both wrong. Lok at Zeb's video. Lott was clearly beat. And if he ws blitzing, Bubba, then WTF is he doing standing around the endzone? IMO, it was a split two deep coverage. JUst look at the clip, Bowen is playing zone. edit: watched it again, and there was NO ONE around Lott. He loafed, and let that TD happen. End of story.

Danny Montana Posted September 21, 2004 Share Posted September 21, 2004 Gotta give Griffin props for his play so far. I thought the signing was questionable at best, but the guy has proved me wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cole Posted September 21, 2004 Share Posted September 21, 2004 Just as the endzone camera did during the game, the second angle on the video clearly shows Springs covering Carter on the outside and Bowen on the inside. Bowen allows Carter to get to the post. Lott simply is hustling after the play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

End of story. you are full of it... I have watched on Tivo just now. Springs let him go to bowen, and he just flat beat him. Lott was on the other side covering, and started trailing the play after the throw in support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zen-like Todd Posted September 21, 2004 Author Share Posted September 21, 2004 I would like to point out for the record that freak incorrectly invoked my name in response to a post of bulldog's.

JWB Posted September 21, 2004 Share Posted September 21, 2004 I am not going to blame anyone on this play. Big play's will happen. It's not about how you deal with them, it's all about how you react after the big play. I thought our special teams did an excellent job, Morton was obviously trying to get something going and it was the special teams, that forced a fumble on the Giant 38 yard line. All we have to do is correct the little things and this team will be top-notch. We are close... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Murphaaay Posted September 21, 2004 Share Posted September 21, 2004 Bowen didn't hold up his responsibility in deep zone. He was totally out of position. He wasn't even ready for the post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. S Posted September 21, 2004 Share Posted September 21, 2004 is it just me, or who was Springs covering on that play? From the pics from Bubba, seems like he went outside for no reason, not a good read there. Bowen did get beat, but he tried I guess. Yes, Griffin has been awesome, i feel hes pretty underrated.

Ancalagon the Black Posted September 21, 2004 Share Posted September 21, 2004 Originally posted by freakofthenorth It's so sad, having the #1 defense in the league. :doh: I was attempting to be ironic, alluding to the days when Stanley Richard used to lead the team in tackles because our D-line was so bad. I was actually praising our defense. And yes, Griffin is great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
