[B]Game Keys 9/18[/B]

1: We need to prevent long gains-Reed Doughty is starting…..again, he needs to learn from his mistakes last week. Any gain over 20 yards is unacceptable. The Cardinal offense is open and built for stretching the field and with L Fitz there’s a big threat of a huge gain or a long touchdown. Reed needs to make sure he is there to support Deangelo Hall or Josh Wilson when needed. Kevin Kolb is no Tom Brady (although he is paid like one) if we give tight coverage he will have a tough time getting passes on Target. The goal is tight coverage like always.

2: establishing the run: It was over a month ago that we traded an aging defensive lineman that would have been cut for a starting runningback that is primed for a breakout year. If we manage to establish the run we will pull a lot of pressure off of Rex Grossman. If we want to maintain a successful offense we will have to average a whole lot more than 2.9 yards per attempt. We need the runs that we saw in the preseason. In my opinion I also think it would be good to see Roy Helu gain a couple more carries or touches.

3: No turnovers: We cannot turnover the ball, that’s what made Grossman so impressive last week. He was going against his career stereotype, lacking the riskiness that we all hate, that has caused 40 interceptions in his career. If he can have another game without turnovers our offense shouldnt miss a beat.

4: Graham Gano: Can the dude make a field goal? I swear I cringe when he kicks an extra point. If the games on the line can we trust him to slam it through the up rights? Good question

5: Pass Protection: The Cardinals are a defense heavy with blitz packages. Our pass protection is key. Last week versus a crippled Giants defensive line we saw Grossman constantly on his ass. Our starting offensive line were constantly getting beat by backups. Trent Williams was a huge disappointment showing slow feet and he was clearly beat often. Trent and the overall offensive line needs to be prepared to face a solid defensive line. When Rex is under pressure he makes more mistakes, Key number 3. Come on Shanny prove to me having these light athletic lineman was worth it.

Something about Guiness Draught and Sunday Football: perfect match

Re: *Redskins vs Cardinals Gameday Thread*
 

I'm not too worried about our offense putting points on the board today because the Cards defense is in major transition (like ours was last year). I think we'll score at least 24 pts today.

On the other hand I hope our D steps up big!!! Kolb is dangerous!!!

Re: *Redskins vs Cardinals Gameday Thread*
 

I hope we score atleast 24. If not.. The pikes will come out lol

Re: *Redskins vs Cardinals Gameday Thread*
 

Redskins 27
Cards 23

Re: *Redskins vs Cardinals Gameday Thread*

lag on PS3 Sunday Ticket is a little anticlimactic, what with real time fantasy updates.
