Smoot Lays the Smack Down (Redskins vs. Giants)

ok, I didn't expect us to beat the giants, but I also didn't expect us to lose this badly either. Jason Campbell played like how I've always know him to play, scarred and conservative. I LOVE and completely agree with Smootsmacks statement about how Todd Collins went in the game and just slung it down field, where as jason is the screen dump off short passes type.

Laron is awful, I love how when he came out of college everyone was like "He's the next ronnie lott,... he didn't allow a touchdown catch his senior year" yeah well he's an NFL junior and he's allowed probably more TD's he allowed in college all his career, just in this season alone. Either move him to SS or trade him.

Anyone notice that last night all Eli threw at was Landry, Smoot, and Tryon, and Orakpo but he's really a DE and he's a rookie so I'll let him go on this.

Our D-line got 0 pressure on Eli last night. He had all day to throw on us last night. Daniels better be long gone next year, as should Wynn.

Our OL played poor, but not awful, most in part to Jason who held on to the ball way to long.

Fred Davis continues to impress me. Moss needs to go, he's lost lots of speed, but like Smootsmack pointed out he sure can spin that ball after he gets 5 yards.

It's called game planning. They had one, we didn't.

what the hell was Wynn doing on the field last night? has he played at all this year? and what is Blache thinking suiting him up? wtf

Zorn might have been occupied with making Snowmen and Snowangels.

We had a game plan that's called "fantacy football" experimenting with the unexpected.

Although it got ruined by the timeout, I actually thought that the fake field goal was a decent design. Yoder, not Albright, was the long snapper, and because of the formation he was an eligible receiver. I think the idea was to confuse the G-men with massive movement on the left of the formation and then throw the ball to Yoder out on the right. It could have worked - but not once the Giants call a timeout and prepare for it. The element of surprise was lost. When the Giants called timeout we should have called off the fake.

Zorn says in his press conference that after seeing the video, in retrospect he would have gone for the field goal. But he also said and I'm kinda paraphrasing (but not entirely)-the call was so clever it forced the Giants to take a time-out.

Can't say I'm really surprised that the team folded last night. Did I see it coming? No. But in hindsight I think the signs were there for a potential collapse.

Vinny stepping down, Allen coming in, Shanahan in the rearview, rumblings of coaches on the staff interviewing for the HC job and the resulting dissention amongst the ranks of the staff, it's not a surprise we got smoked.

Finally, let's tip our hats to the Giants who came in and played like a team with a purpose. We were overmatched in every phase of the game.

Took the "72" out of your username? Feeling your years a little? :)

I agree that the signs were there. I heard on the radio today that Kelly Johnson of Comcast reported that throughout the week of practice last week several players asked her off camera about Mike Shanahan. So there were definitely big distractions.

That's quite the analogy. LOL!


Thanks, we are potty training my two year old right now. So it is foremost in my mind.

Espically so when say you are in Target at 7:30 on a Monday Night and you want to get home to see the Redskins play and your son decides it is a good time just to piss himself, grrrrrr...parenting got love it. =)

Well the second attempt sums the Redskins motto for the year. Our oline is not performing so will just put them far left and maybe the defense will be so from the passer maybe he will have enough time to pass with them over there.

The Giants did play with a sense of purpose while we managed to turn in our worst effort this season.

Whoever the new coach coupled with Bruce Allen, have a tremendous job on their hands to get this team back to respectability.

I think in the last few weeks minus last night's game, the redskins have showed that they can be more than respectable. But they just need to come prepared, focused, and play with effort. Funny how that makes all the difference in the world.
