[quote=BaltimoreSkins;1322859]Hot take: RR keeps JDR for most of the season. He needs a scapegoat in case defense doesn't improve after JDR shit canning[/quote]

I absolutely believe this, I do not think there will be any coaches fired during the season

[quote=Redskins247;1322852]Please highlight the personnel moves they've made have been good moves...they're not many.[/quote]

There's been plenty of good, impactful players brought in/drafted. Not every move pans out the way you hope, and that goes for every team.

Easy to "highlight" the bad ones isn't it...?

Take a look around, there's plenty of good talent on this team. They didn't fall from the sky.

True, but it is also the moves they haven't made or positions they didn't draft well. Most here have been screaming for a bona fide MLB and additional depth at LB, it is easy to see the value of that when you look at the failures of our D. We all love Holcombs infectious personality I am sure, but I don't think anyone here thinks he is more than a decent starting LB, and certainly not a MLB

Last year the CB room looked OK but this year, even discounting the WJ3 issue, the depth here is non existant.

I am sure someone would mention letting Settle leave for peanuts then using a valuable 2nd pick on his replacement, especially as we wont have one in next years draft

Having 6 great young tight ends is not going to prevent the other team from scoring

[quote=punch it in;1322846]Someone definitely asked what Jackson did to deserve the ire. I don’t remember who. But they need to read this. Dude has been a straight embarrassment.[/quote]

Im a WJ3 ..... defender? enabler?

He hasnt played well. (he admits that)
He said hes a pro and this isnt his first year in the scheme so he has to play better, no excuses

He is a good press man corner ... and we've used him for 2 years now as a soft cover corner.

Should WJ3 be better by now, regardless of what coaches ask of him? Yes

Should JDR have figured this out by now - either through coaching him better at soft man or putting him in better spots? yes

^^ 12 min highlights of the Lions game

First 3 defensive snaps shown:

0:05 - WJ3 (bottom of screen, #3) playing off LOS
0:23 - soft off LOS
0:59 - lined up on LOS!! but then backpedals 8 yards off the LOS prior to snap

Watch the games, pause rewind and see where we have him playing pre snap. 80% of the time hes 10 yards off the LOS and has to wait for a receiver to run their route in front of him or run by him.

-------------

Hes needs to play better ... but JDR needs to play to his strengths at this point.

JDR needs to scheme and coach

fucking frustrating to watch no adjustments or wrinkles. Only adjustments we made last year re the 3rd long and long LB coverage problem .. was Bostic getting injured and forcing JDR to make a change

Couldn't agree more, especially regarding Bostic injury radically changing the defence in terms of results

Dang do you write for Hogs Haven? Article: Who is bigger liability to defense Davis or JDR? Read at your own peril.

Re: Pregame Thread - Commanders v Eagles
 

@JohnKeim:

Looking at last year's second game vs. the Eagles: Washington rushed with four on 15 of 27 pass attempts. Hurts was 11-15, 125 yards on those plays. Considered pressured on 4 rushes.

When Washington rushed 5+, Hurts was 5-10, 77 yards, 1 sack. Considered pressured on 7 rushes.

I say it is official. We are rushing 4 all game.

Do you think JDR cares for stats like this? Or does he just watch the film and give it the ol' eyeball test?

Tea leaves say it all…bad offseason story + poor start to season + and now the biggest issue, the locker room

All signs flashing

Chase returning and lifting the defense is his only hope

Re: Pregame Thread - Commanders v Eagles
 

Hopefully Sweat and the other edge guy can stay outside the T, stay responsible for the edge and not get carried away with trying inside moves.

Hopefully Allen/Payne can create pressure up the middle and speed jalen's clock up and make him uncomfortable

---

Watched the 1st haf highlights linked above .. every single D formation shown has WJ3 off the LOS by a lot (excluding goalline). 2 times he lines up on LOS he backpedals pre snap.

Offensive coord knowing exactly what you are going to do with your outside corner .. a big problem.

Same exact fucking set up for WJ3 every fucking snap.

JDR needs to change it up on looks.

I simply said someone was wondering why WJ was catching so much grief in here. Never said that person (apparently you) was defending or enabling him. Lol.

If someone (apparently you) was wondering why he was catching so much shit that post tells you all you need to know.

Think you took my comment the wrong way. Didn’t mean you were defending him. Just that you appeared to be confused as to why he was catching shit.

Rivera and Del Rio have lost the locker room IMO

I hear you. IMO anything short of a top 10 defense is probably not going to end well for him

Always fun to make a game prediction. Do it 30 times youre bound to nail one .. then you really got a conversation starter, get to pull out your phone and show everyone

(this guy did this at a function last week ... it was funny bc no one cared but id do the same thing)

Skins 31, eagles 26 ... WJ3 with the game sealing int
