He got a....HARD lesson and not so friendly welcome to the Big Show, not to mention being scandalized in the media for the poster child of Poor Tackling.....
He will not likely want that repeated..

I'm.just not a fan of Rambo, I think people wanted him here because of his cool name or something, he was good at GA but there's a reason he wasn't drafted high. For instance honey badger had a great game Sunday and was all over the field. Rambo is slow and gets juked by everyone.

Re: Washington Redskins vs Green Bay Packers Pre-Game Thread
 

It doesn't help Rambo that he plays 4 of the 5 best backs in the league this year (Chris Johnson, LeSean McCoy, Adrian Peterson, Jamal Charles) He also plays McFadden, Reggie Bush, Forte... you know what we play a lot of great backs and we're probably going to have a lot of growing pains and missed tackles from him for a good portion of the season. Hopefully we see improvements from him, because it's only going to get harder for Rambo.

Yeah a lot of people did not want to draft honey badger cause of the weed....but that kid is a football player who has football instincts.

He lasted till the 6th round for a reason, Matthieu was supposed to have been top 10 if he wasn't a druggie. Rambo has potential and will eventually be solid. Matthieu was a risky pick, just look at Tanard Jackson.

Re: Washington Redskins vs Green Bay Packers Pre-Game Thread
 

We need to establish the run game right away on Sunday. Morris will likely redeem himself and if he's still struggling Helu needs to get work right away. The passing game has to work off the running game at this point because the oline is so weak, so lots of play action and maybe some read option but I don't think defenses see RG as a big threat right now. Mix in reverses and screens too. Bottom line is Mike and Kyle need to get creative in ways that minimize risk to RG instead of expand risk.

Defensively, I have a feeling we'll be better this game. London needs to step it up and will. Communication is key and will improve.

[quote=Ruhskins;1024579]Hey Giantone, what are your thoughts on D. Scott? Other than the problem with the catch, I thought he played okay given the circumstances.[/quote]


I think he did ok , not great the last play wasn't his fault .Coughlin will get the running backs straight . Wilson will be very good .

Re: Washington Redskins vs Green Bay Packers Pre-Game Thread
 

Rambo was never good in college at open field tackling, or tackling in general. If you watched the SEC championship game he looked almost afraid to tackle Eddie Lacy. We should not expect that to change throughout his NFL career.

What he is good at is not getting beat deep and he has shown the ability to break up long passes in college against good quarterbacks. The Redskins last night put him in positions that did not show off his strengths. Let him stay at FS and play deep and as long as he doesn't forget his assignments (Jackson TD) he will be fine. He can play.

Griffin should go ahead and run some this game. We all know Clay Matthews is going to hit him anyway, so he might as well get some yards while he is getting hit.

Yep, ask Joe Flacco how that award works.


Jacoby Jones got robbed.

Re: Washington Redskins vs Green Bay Packers Pre-Game Thread
 

The Packers Redskins game may simply come down to who has the ball last. Turnovers are killers and the Skins simply have to win the turnover battle to win this game. They can't give Rodgers extra possesion. I was honestly surprised at how they could stay in the Eagle game after so many miscues.

Re: Washington Redskins vs Green Bay Packers Pre-Game Thread
 

One more possession and we would have won that game too. Griffin was on fire by the end.

Re: Washington Redskins vs Green Bay Packers Pre-Game Thread
 

Well on our our way to 0-2...

Packers 38
Skins 17

The San Diego Chargers play the eagles at Philly next week... San Diego will be super bowl champions.

Re: Washington Redskins vs Green Bay Packers Pre-Game Thread
 

^Well that's interesting!

Re: Washington Redskins vs Green Bay Packers Pre-Game Thread
 

I think our secondary is in for a real long day Sunday. A real long day. We're going to need some turnovers to win this game. If there was anytime for Orakpo to dominate it's this week.

Re: Washington Redskins vs Green Bay Packers Pre-Game Thread
 

The Philly game really didn't help me figure out what we're made of this year. The Eagles offense is so unique that it's difficult to predict how our D will handle a more traditional offense, such as the Packers. Our offense during the first half was an aberration (at least I hope so). Our offense in the second half was better, but that doesn't mean a whole lot to me because of the circumstances (down by 4 scores and the Eagles defense backing off).

I believe that the 'Skins of the the second half of last season are the real 'Skins. We won't have another case of the"can't-go-rights."

Skins 30
Packers 24

Re: Washington Redskins vs Green Bay Packers Pre-Game Thread
 

Like Ryan Kerrigan said: if you want to be the best you have to beat the best. Skins get their act together and kick ass in GB.

Yup exactly. Want respect in this league you walk into GB and take a W for them.

Yup, Rak is going up against a rookie left tackle, Bakhtiari. Rak needs to own him.

Re: Washington Redskins vs Green Bay Packers Pre-Game Thread
 

If Rak cant get to AR this week then it's time to just call it like it is.

Re: Washington Redskins vs Green Bay Packers Pre-Game Thread
 

[quote=SFREDSKIN;1024577][B]GB is missing their starting LT (Bulaga)[/B] and if I'm not mistaken another starting OL. Our DL will do well against them as will RGIII, he seems to have shed most of the rust in the 2nd half. The skins will be more prepared than week 1.[/quote]If Orakpo doesn't make a significant impact against a backup LT, I would be concerned. I've contended that while Rak is a superior athlete, Kerrigan is the superior playmaker, and more worthy of a big contract when the time comes.

They both tend to disappear for entire stretches of games and seasons. Neither have proven to be great pass rushers yet either.

Re: Washington Redskins vs Green Bay Packers Pre-Game Thread
 

People forget we also have Tapp and Jenkins in addition to Rak and Kerrigan.

Re: Washington Redskins vs Green Bay Packers Pre-Game Thread
 

^ doesn't do us any good if they dont play much though

Re: Washington Redskins vs Green Bay Packers Pre-Game Thread
 

They will both play more next week with normal Offense especially Jenkins on most 3rd downs and tapp will get his burn as well

Re: Washington Redskins vs Green Bay Packers Pre-Game Thread
 

Obviously I want to beat the Pack, but even if we lose, I'm not gonna get worked up over it. We can beat the Lions at home, and beat the Raiders anywhere, 2-2 at the bye with 5 divisional games remaining will put us in plenty good position.

(Note - I'm not saying those are guaranteed wins - but I'll still be confident going into week 3 win or lose in week 2.)

I don't understand why Rob Jackson doesn't get any love, after showing tons of potential last season?

B/c he's suspended right now. When he DOES come back, I imagine we'll discuss his role in the upcoming game.

Totally spaced that :doh:

Re: Washington Redskins vs Green Bay Packers Pre-Game Thread
 

If Orakpo can stay healthy he's the unquestioned starter, but like lots have said it would be nice to see him make a bigger impact. Every game.

Re: Washington Redskins vs Green Bay Packers Pre-Game Thread
 

Game will be a close one, I don't see either team getting too far ahead. We win the TO battle.

24 Skins
17 Packers
