49ers @ Redskins Pregame Thread

I'll drink some Purple and sleep through the game

In order for the Redskins to win this game against San Francisco, they are going to have to play up to their ability. Haslett is going to have to call for Orakpo and Kerrigan to blitz early and often. Maybe bring some pressure up the middle from the ILBs. Hopefully, Kerrigan and Orakpo can sack Alex Smith three times apiece. Josh Wilson and DeAngelo Hall have to be sound in coverage. But most importantly, the defense must find a way to limit the running room that Frank Gore is liable to use. Gaps need to be filled in order for holes to be closed so Gore is limited. Truthfully, I still expect Frank Gore to have a big day rushing against the Redskins defense. But I don't expect for him to run wild and have 250 yards or anything outrageous like that.


Offensively, John Beck has to hit his receivers. The offensive line must do their part in limiting the 49er defensive from getting effective penetration. Ryan Torain is due for a huge game running the ball. He's been stifled the past couple of games. It will be difficult against this stout 49er defense. But if the Redskins offensive linemen can get to the 2nd level in the zone blocking scheme, Torain should be able to run for lots of yardage.


Basically if they play solid in all aspects of the game they stand a chance.

"So you say there's a chance..."

SFGate.com : 49ers' Smith, Redskins' Kerrigan are top rookies (http://mobile.sfgate.com/sfchron/db_41691/contentdetail.htm?contentguid=pl9n5egz)

I actually thought we might take Smith and would have been very happy with the pick. They are both outstanding rookies and I'm very happy with Kerrigan and more than a bit surprised with how well he's made the transition. I hope SOMEONE can block Smith this week.

...I hope SOMEONE can block this week.
Fixed it for ya 53 :cheeky-sm :food-smil

SF 45

The best time on Sunday is 10 to 15 minutes before the Redskins game when you still have hope.

Thanks "C"! That's more accurate.

And then you see Kyle call a WR reverse with Stallworth for no gain second play of the game and turn the tv off.

:lol:

Then the camera slowly pans to Jim Hasslet who has a dumbass look on his face. Kinda like Larry of the 3 Stooges.
