First place Redskins

FWIW...pro football focus has Breeland now rated as the 7th best corner in the league. Not bad...when I watching Sunday I kinda felt like he is our best defensive player on the team.

My son and I have come to that conclusion. He is a complete corner - tackles and competes for every ball. Kerrigan has started to pick it up lately but Breeland stands out to us every game. '

On a side note - love Matt Jones hustling down field to block on Sunday. One was on a Jordan Reed reception, the other was on jump ball, fumble and recovery. The reason that play happened was Jones hustle to block, that is how good teams make their own luck. Have to believe this is carry over from the linemen hustling down field the last few weeks.

I think one issue with the running game is with Matt Jones being your typical young RB with speed, he is not patient enough and often wants to get somewhere before blocks are setup. Gruden eluded to this a few games back and noted how he is improving on this matter as the season is hitting it's final month.

While his game against Chicago wasn't great, I did see some improvement by him, especially in the "toughness" category as not only did he flash some speed but he also straight up bull-rushed defenders on some rushes that led to an extra 2-3 yards. That final rush that sealed the game with the 1st down? It put a huge smile on my face.

Wasn't Breeland a 4th round pick?? But yes, he is gonn be great, I envision him having a Josh Norman breakout season next season. He really could have 6 or 7 interceptions right now

Yes, Breeland was a 4th rounder. I was only pointing out that Sherman was a 5th rounder to highlight that All-Pro CB's can be found outside the first round.

Sherman was chosen in 2011 and had a quicker rise to fame than Breeland. Of course, Sherman had Kam Chancellor and Earl Thomas as his safeties from day 1.

Also, the Sherman was picked, the Skins picked DeJon Gomes eight picks ahead of him. Niles Paul was picked immediately after him.

Please don't remind us of that, but Breeland does look like that next breakout up and coming corner

I lean more towards scheme then personnel when it comes to the run game issues. Jay/staff have shown some tendencies in the run game that have been consistent and the decent defenses exploit them. Even Cooley has started to point out some of these issues. Then there is how the personnel is being used i.e. not scheming DY into the offense as a blocker vs using TEs that are known to be inferior blockers to him. Rotation of backs Etc.

Did anybody else watch Dallas V Green Bay?

GB was running the ball out of shotgun with a RB and FB, and 3 WR and no TEs. 20 personnel.

Depending on what look Dallas was giving, they ran or passed.

It would be a great way to put your best players on the field. Motion Reed out as a receiver or keep him in if nickle. I'm no expert but seems like that would create a ton of matchup problems.

We can do that right now. There is no reason we can't.

What a great chance to take command of the division.

I forget who said it (I heard it on either NFL Network or ESPN), but I agree with it...Whoever wins the PHI vs WAS game will win the division.

Obviously it wouldn't be ideal to lose to Buffalo this weekend, but none of the other NFC East teams are going to win out - so losing to an AFC team won't be the end of the world. We beat Philly it's over.

I say this mainly because I believe there is no way in hell this team loses to Dallas again. Of course anything is possible, and if for some sad reason they do lose to Dallas again, then they have no fight, no heart, and don't deserve to represent the division in the playoffs anyway.

Bills have a nice young corner named Ronald Darby who will be making his first home coming as a pro ,you guys need to keep an eye on him.

Yeah both az and car are favored and should win but it is the nfl.
