The Official Cut Durant Brooks Thread

Our special teams overall was deplorable. Randle El has to be replaced. Durant Brooks must be cussed the hell out. He has no pressure on him at this point and has done nothing but given up 2 TD's on short punts. Zorn has to fix this problem now.

Maybe they could do like the old days, maybe the players should have a "Talk" with Brooks.

I would not cut him yet. All we will get is some retread as a replacement and then we could be inviting problems with Suisham since brooks holds for him.

I vote for change thread title to "Cut Leigh Torrence"

Wtf was he even DOING on the field during possibly the most clutch defensive moment!?!?!?

Shoot me.

But F you too Brooks. Not one single good punt today and he DEFINITELY directly contributed to our loss.I honestly don't know where Landry was on that play. Normally, that zone is all him.

Thing is, we're spoiled into thinking good coverage is a right, but that one on one matchup definately favors the receiver. Torrence is a fine third corner who will get beat sometimes like he did there.

Our depth in the secondary isn't great. You have the four starters who make up one of the best secondaries in the NFL, and after that, you have Smoot, Torrence, and Doughty, and they are all weak links against starting-caliber wide receivers.

Brooks is NOT the reason we lost this game, obviously.

Turnovers are.

Defense was lights out.
Offense was fairly productive and solid without those turnovers.
Punting was horrible.

Can't really fix turnovers, you can fix punting.

33rd punter in a 32 team league is extremely laughable, that's all I'm saying. I'll be the first to congratulate Brooks if he even makes the top 15 of all punters by the end of the year, I just don't see it happening.We won almost all the unit matchups except for one, their DL dominated our OL.

That, combined with the turnovers, is the only reason we didn't blow the Rams out of the water. I mean, not only did they not score an offensive touchdown...they weren't even close to threatening.

I still can't believe Torrence was in in the most crucial down of the game. ALL he had to do was NOT to get beat deepIt was 3rd and 15 for god's sake . Thats the kinda crap they teach you in high school. I don't know why Smoot was not in on that play. Man I'm gonna have a long day tomarrow. Oh well I guess they should change this into the cut Brooks/ Torrence Thread

Torrence has been a solid backup and was very good in the Dallas game when Springs went down and Smoot/Rogers were in and out with cramps. To say "cut him" after one play is silly. Bottom line is, as a team, we should never have been in that position to begin with. Should we cut Samuels and Randy Thomas because our bad pass protection led to fumbles? Should we cut Pete Kendall for trying to run with that tipped pass instead of just falling on it? Come on. Everyone just calm down with this cut Torrence crap.

I never said "cut" him I was just saying that smoot should be in. I did not know he had cramps.

I think the punter should not be that high up in the Redskins priorities to fix the quagmire they had today.

Are you kidding me? It's one of the top priorities. Brooks has been handing teams great field position all year, he had two punts returned for td's against him because of horrible hangtime and directional punting, he botched a hold. Simply put the kid has been horrible and he needs to improve this week or he needs to be out of here. Just look at Zorn's quote after the game, “We have to improve our punting or we’re gonna be in trouble every game. Either we bring someone in to compete we get our punter — who’s a young guy — to improve.”
