Sorry, not being negative just for the sake of it. I'm really looking forward to the season. Just want to be realistic.

Speaks volumes about how excited the fanbase is that Dan is gone.

My hope is we turn out well enough that we give a home field advantage to the team and they handle business against a clearly inferior Cards team.

Yup. Me too. Not sure why a wait and see, prove it on the field attitude is met with such ire from the kool aid drinkers? Lol. Especially with this team.
There are pros, what appear to be a better quarterback. Our fans coming back. Secondary should be better with Forbes. There are cons, our oline still stinks (idgaf if it is better than last year, 5 blocking dummies would be too). Chase Young still can’t get on the field. Our HC is dead man walking. LB corp is still shit. Schedule is tough.

Pointing the obvious positives and negatives out shouldn’t make me a homer mcfan boy or a doom and gloom. I have no idea if this team will win 12 games or 4. Nobody does.

My gut tells me we hover around.500 until we have one more offseason. However I do believe we are headed in the right direction for one obvious reason. The head of the snake was cut off. Doesn’t mean the body isn’t still wriggling around for one more season until a competent owner fixes it.

I agree. This is as close to a sure thing this team has had in a loooong time and Ron has to have them ready to go from the first whistle. This game will be closer than it should be but I think the Commanders get the win and Ron stay for another week.

Re: Washington vs Card Pre Game
 

I doubt new ownership is looking to can Ron right off the bat or even during the season. Definitely wouldn't be a good look for them.

Welcome back Jaminson Crowder to the practical squad

It would be Danny-esque to fire a coach midseason in your first year of ownership.

Harris isn't that dumb. Ron gets the whole year unless things go horribly off schedule and he has some sort of health issue that allows him to gracefully step down.

I still think he retires at the end of the year if no playoffs or quick playoff exit.

Re: Washington vs Card Pre Game
 

[quote=davy;1344476]Wasn't it you who thought we would be much better last year because Wentz was a massive upgrade at QB? How'd that work out?

Leno deteriorated badly last year and unless he is Lazarus chances are he will be worse this year. People think Wiley is an upgrade simply because he came from the Chiefs, truth is he is garbage. Our guards are failed tackles and our centre is coming off a bad injury who has looked really poor in limited action since.

Improved???[/quote]

I guess you know better than some of the people who cover the team and can give an objective opinion. You should email John Keim and tell him he doesn't know what he's talking about.

Probably not, but it could be viewed as cutting all ties with anything DS and getting your people in there. If they gave EB the interim position it would also be a positive spin.

I definitely do not think they will do it but I just don’t think it would be as bad a look because of the situation.

Re: Washington vs Card Pre Game
 

The OL has to be improved over last year, how much is the question. EB's schemes can certainly help as well.

Unless the team truly implodes, I doubt that happens. Mid-season firings are seldom seen as justifiable (except recently for Urban Myers) and more of a sign of a team management dysfunction.

Zero chance Harris fires Ron during the season.

Re: Washington vs Card Pre Game
 

Oh if i had to wager there is no way i say he gets fired. Just speaking hypothetically that if it did I don’t think it would be looked at as dysfunctional but as cleaning house. I agree with you though Ruh they would have to completely implode. “Hey we wanted to give Ron one more chance - we saw enough “.

But, again, I think Ron has a full season to show something because we aren’t going to implode.

Young. Lol. No way he plays. Over under is a return by Thanksgiving.

It would be nice if he could play in at least 10 games this season.

I suppose this explains why the coaches have been holding onto him ever since we drafted him. Unfortunately this will not mean anything if he cannot stay on the field. The coaches could at least refer him to a personal trainer who can teach him to take care of his body.

Terry McLaurin is in pads and catching passes before practice. Not doing any running yet.

Brandon Scherff is a failed tackle too I guess.

Many college Tackles transition to Guard at the NFL level, and some of them do quite well.

I've heard nothing but good things about Gates, the rookie Stromberg, and Charles.

Let's see what happens on Sunday. I think the unit will surprise some.

I am more worried about the actual tackles, the interior OL is better than some are giving credit for

Exactly, he can’t stay on the field. Even when he’s been on in regular season, he’s just avg.

Prove me wrong Charles

Re: Washington vs Card Pre Game
 

Health is obviously key for Charles, just like plenty of other guys. But he definitely seems to have stepped up his play.

Brandon Scherff was drafted to play guard. Some "experts" may have written otherwise but he came here to play guard.

This idea that Out of Date Ron has that NFL players should be able to play multiple positions is long gone in the NFL. Players are now drafted to play one position which is hard enough to learn in itself in today's cerebral NFL. By moving rookies around in practice Ron does more to confuse them and retard their development than anything else.

[quote=EdmundDorf;1344509]I am more worried about the actual tackles, the interior OL is better than some are giving credit for[/quote]

On the plus side, we have one of the better blocking TE's in the league and I've noticed that our RB's are pass protecting much better than last season, so EB should be able to figure out what needs to be done.

Lets hope so, I am ready for a professional NFL offense for a change, don't want to be averaging under 20pts per game ever again

Well they did try him at right tackle early on, but he struggled and Morgan Moses was coming into his own at that time so they quickly moved BS inside. If we didn’t have Moses who knows, maybe BS would have been a so so RT instead of a pro bowl guard.
