Skins vs Texans Gameday Thread

Ya didn't think they would start week one, but I was wondering if they would be pressing for starting jobs by midseason or after the bye.

Barring injury I'd doubt it. Backups just don't get the reps the starters do during the season to push someone out of a job.

No no and no, that record goes to me.


Lol. Ive never actually seen a breakdown - I just know that in my first year I was often referred to as having Earthquake like numbers.

Listen there were several plays yesterday that JJ Watts would have foiled for any qb in history. Nobody is denying that. BUT - when you have a choice to make between stepping up through the pocket that is collapsing and collapsing with it - you have to step up. When you have a choice to do ANYTHING besides back pedal out of fg range and take a sack you do anything. A great starting qb thinks quickly - and makes the rite decision. JJ Watt or JJ Walker - it shouldnt matter - you CANNOT hold onto the ball for 5-6 seconds when Watt is on the other side.

my uneducated gut instinct is that RG3 is always used to scrambling on a busted play and likes to scramble to the outside where there is more open field, their field is vision is open and they can quickly judge if they can turn the corner or not and they can use the sideline for protection.

i dont think it is natural for a speedy scrambler to step into the mouth of danger/bodies vs getting outside it.

you use speed on the edges.

rg3 is speed.

he isnt big ben. he isnt comfortable stepping into and trusting a pocket. .... yet.

RGIII is a half-beat slow. He's also in a new offense. With time and the experience of some success, he should make up that half-beat. If he does, he will start really lighting it up.

Something to make the space not so worthless... RG III report: Long and short of pass game - Washington Redskins Blog - ESPN (http://espn.go.com/blog/washington-redskins/post/_/id/10698/rg-iii-report-long-and-short-of-pass-game)

Good read on why we seen so many short passes.

per bleacher report: Jordan Reed mild hamstring strain. Cofield high ankle sprain.

Talk about good timing. :D

I aim to please.

The offense is coming together. I feel encouraged. RG3 played better than most QBs did Sunday. Gruden is building, no gimmics. I like it. We were 3 and 13 last year.
