Redskins Bye week

I think we can all agree we'd like to see Doc more involved. He's definitely shown flashes. But is that going to be a consistent thing or just an every ~4 games thing?

Although, I think some big factors have been slowing his involvement; A new QB who isn't known as a risky thrower and a Run-game that has been efficient.

A. Smith isn't going to throw those risky balls that Doctson is known to bring down unless he actually has to, as in, we're down 17 points and need some quick scores so we start airing it out.

When you play with the lead and the run game can grind away the clock why would you throw risky, jump balls that can stop the clock?


I believe this week against the Saints will be different. Brees will definitely get his yards/scores so we're going to need to score a good amount of points as well. If the run game doesn't utterly dominate we'll need to throw some passes. I'd expect Doc to get some looks unless Reed/Thompson take over, which they very well could.

JD needs more looks, but at the same time you earn more looks by making plays when you do get the looks which he hasn't done yet. It's a catch 22.

On tape he's just not getting open enough for the looks Alex likes, yes he could get some 50/50 balls but Smith isn't that kind of passer.

This offense is set up to run through Reed, Thompson, Crowder, Richardson, and Davis. Anything JD gives us is gravy.

Talk about an optimistic power ranking note:

15. Washington Redskins (2-1, LW: 18)

Washington is in first place and here’s its (fairly easy) schedule the next few games: at Saints, vs. Panthers, vs. Cowboys, at Giants, vs. Falcons, at Buccaneers, vs. Texans, at Cowboys. If Washington can split the next two, the six games that follow aren’t too daunting. Keep that in mind and don’t be too shocked if we see an 8-3 Redskins team traveling to the Eagles for a big Dec. 3 showdown.

I don't see 8-3 but 7-4 is possible especially if we beat NO

Well, the games this year say our success on offense is more directly tied to a strong running game...so Peterson and Thompson is engine which drives it.

The passing game is Thompson, Reed and Crowder with Richardson as an big play accent.

What's lacking is a dependable route runner on the outside...Doctson. This offense could be next freaking level if we had a contributor there. A Kenny Stills, John Brown...we could be top 5.

Yeah I meant the passing game goes through them

Those players play Richardson's role, we need a player like Garcon..
