[QUOTE=Chico23231;1204896]I have called for running the ball for a long time because it’s the primary reason why teams win and go far in the playoffs...I love it. It’s redskins football.

The issue is Alex Smith the last several years has been a very good qb...and Jay Gruden offense in the last couple year is known for have a good passing scheme. So to watch the qb play this year has been disappointing. Especially when I heard Alex is the best deep ball passer and was great in the red zone. He has time to throw the ball, protection isn’t an issue. It would be nice to have a middle and deep range passing attack...we have opportunities bc defense are creeping and going single high safety against us.

I want to see steps...I think Jay needs to look at the play action game...execution and scheme. RPO execution, can we get better opportunities? Maybe add a burner WR to help open up the down field opportunities.

I’m offering solutions...to say, “this is the Alex we envisioned” is simply dishonest.[/QUOTE]I agree this is not the Alex we envisioned, but to hope that he was going to reproduce last year's deep ball productivity is delusional IMO.
Give me the efficient short passing game version of Alex Smith right now and this team is virtually unstoppable, don't try to turn him into something he's not.

Sometimes it seems he just lacks that killer instinct, but you need that kind of players on your football team, not making mistakes and doing their job ultra consistently.

[quote=Chico23231;1204762]Thank god for ap and a legit Oline

Our defense played their ass off...game ball to them. And it was a complete defensive effort.


Alex smith is garbage...the excuses are gone folks. Giants defense is not good...he had more than enough time to throw. He gotten much more protection and has had more weapons THIS year than Cousins ever had last year...Cousins is head and fuckin shoulders better than Alex.

Anyone who said Alex was a comp and better...get the fuck out[/quote]

Hearing a lot of comparisons to this team right now and the Ravens when they had Trent Dilfer. I'll take it, because we're winning, and that cures everything. But at the end of the day we have a pedestrian QB. Smith is going to have to put up some numbers soon. If we make the playoffs, we won't be able to run AP 200 yards every game from now until then. Smith needs to produce more. But i agree with you. Kind of crazy all the people on here who said Smith was comparable / improvement over Cousins.

Edit: I want to point out that i think we can win football games with Alex Smith, because he is a game manager and doesn't turn over the football. He's a smart guy, and he just plays his guts out. I am holding out hope for year 2 to see if he improves with us.

Giants Postgame
 

I know I’m beating a dead horse, but it’s concerning that Alex Smith can’t or won’t throw anything but check downs, screens, and dump offs.

I know it’s been stated that Cousins did more with less talent, no running game, a horrible defense, a porous line, and an missing Jordan Reed, Josh Doctson, and Chris Thompson. Alex Smith has been handed the opposite and can’t perform. Smith is what’s holding back Gruden’s high powered passing attack; no one else.

Just throwing my vote into the hat that I also think Smith is trash.

Some interesting offensive stats. They only have through week 7. With the first chart Washington is above average to average in all categories. The second chart is a mixed bag but some positive areas. Pts/trip to red zone and avg. Lead when starting a drive are good.

For those interested in the AS vs KC debate Int/Dr are about the same. Minn has 27 more drives than Washington does though.

Nice stats, though I feel like the TOs/Dr is more relevant since KC fumbles as well as throws ints, and in that there is a significant difference.

More telling for the Skins though is the TOP, we are 2nd, and that goes to the Skins playing good consistent short offense, we are 15th for drive success rate, which is the definition of an average offense.

He does fumble more but since it was for the entire offense and not exclusively the QB I didn't want to reference that. I do feel that the offense is not as bad as it seems based on the stats.

Re: Giants Postgame
 

As far as Alex Smith I think the most important stat is the fact the Redskins have had more points than the other team 5 times and less points than the other team only two times so far this year. I will take 200 yards passing and a win over 350 yards passing and a loss any time.

The intangibles cant be understated...I've heard this multiple times about Alex...Cousins seemed to be more erratic and excitable, Smith calming confidence that seems to mesh better with the group.

Also on the other side of the ball, I've heard Mason Foster has the same type of effect....where Norman and Swearinger get every pumped on the D, in the front seven Foster is a calming, cerebral affect especially on long drives, pivotal situations.

That’s because of our defense and running game. Alex Smith has little to do with our record. If we want to be a contender our QB is gonna have to play at a high level at some point and air it out to win gun fights. We saw what happened the last two times we got into a shoot out (Saints and Colts). Smith couldn’t keep up. Our offense is one dimensional, and eventually it will be a problem.

Smith not turning it over is definitely a big factor in winning, let’s not overlook that. With little margin for error it’s huge.

Not turning the ball over actually impacts our record. I think some the of the recent game planning has been to limit passing attack based on opponent. While the tape clearly says Alex has missed some easy and clutch throw as well as downfield opportunities...I still think there is room for improvement with Alex and Jay.

But like you said, one dimensional offense absolutely will not cut it, we need balance to win. Now that the team has confidence and is coming together with an identity....ill keep an open mind that this will get better.

BUT, keep AP fresh is crucial to this second half planning, Id like to see Alex shoulder the load just from that perspective...Maybe get Bibbs more work as well.

We have the 2nd best time of possesion, because our offense, AP and AS mainly, don't turn the ball over. That has a LOT to do with our record.

I think we all agree that the offense needs a bit more oomph to it, but it's also fair to say that we haven't had our full/best offensive unit out there yet. Maybe we won't this year. And it's silly to knock the quarterback of a 5-2 team, especially when - it's his first year in the offense, he has a history of winning, he has had limited practice with the best offensive weapons due to their injuries, and he has held every lead the offense has had.

He also does not take any points for granted. He flat out hustled to prevent a TD on the Peterson fumble. Not many QBs would do that. It is quite possible the Skins loses that game if he doesn't.

5-2

Are we reliant on the running game and defense? Yup. 5-2
Will the passing game be a problem if we start getting into shoot-outs? Yup. 5-2
Could the passing game improve over the next nine games? Yup. 5-2

Right now, we are on a three game win streak based off of a freakishly good D-Line that has a solid rotation and depth w/ two terrific run-stoppers behind them. We are running the ball well behind a line of two potential all-pros and solid work from the rest of the line. We are winning the turnover battle with a QB who, as a rule throughout his career, seems to avoid stupid interceptions and protects the ball. We a RB with old legs but generational talent. 5-2

There is nothing gimmicky about this approach. It is not a "Once other teams figure us out, this formula will no longer work." Rather, it is an age old formula, win the trenches, run the ball, stop the run, and protect the ball. It will never be pretty. In the new NFFL (National Flag Football League), it won't make the highlight reels. It will just win games. 5-2

In the latest ESPN power rankings, we are 13th. The Carolina Panthers (who we beat) are 6th. The Green Bay Packers (who we beat) are 11th. Philadelphia (at 4-4 and whom we lead by two games in the division) are 9th. Apparently, LOTS of people do not think this formula works in the current NFL. 5-2

Atlanta is a huge game. Win at home against a potent offense. If we do win, it will likely come down to the last 2:00 with our D trying to hold off one more score. Even if we do win, however, it will likely be written off as a fluke unless we put up gaudy statistics.

6-2.

I strongly disagree... Smith is a game manager...and he is contributing to the team's wins this season...he's not passing for a lot of yards a game but he doesn't have to....that's the beauty of ball control rushing and having a very good defense....this was the same formula for winning ball games in the early mid 1980s with Joe Theismann and that superb defense we had back then when Riggins was bull dozing over defenses....in those two games the Redskins were bested by the Colts and Saints it was the defense who had no answers in both of those games...and that wasn't on Alex Smith.

I will disagree with this. The defense let up the first drive TD but settled down. Indy stopped the run and forced AS to beat them and it worked.

In the NO game no doubt about it the pass defense was exposed by what some would say is very good first ballot HOF QB. Despite that the Skins offense would drive down the field but have to settle for field goals. In the first quarter they were swapping TDs for FGs and you cannot win that way.

There is nothing gimmicky about this approach. It is not a "Once other teams figure us out, this formula will no longer work." Rather, it is an age old formula, win the trenches, run the ball, stop the run, and protect the ball. It will never be pretty. In the new NFFL (National Flag Football League), it won't make the highlight reels. It will just win games. 5-2



In the latest ESPN power rankings, we are 13th. The Carolina Panthers (who we beat) are 6th. The Green Bay Packers (who we beat) are 11th. Philadelphia (at 4-4 and whom we lead by two games in the division) are 9th. Apparently, LOTS of people do not think this formula works in the current NFL. 5-2



Atlanta is a huge game. Win at home against a potent offense. If we do win, it will likely come down to the last 2:00 with our D trying to hold off one more score. Even if we do win, however, it will likely be written off as a fluke unless we put up gaudy statistics.

And just because we’re 5-2 doesn’t mean we don’t have a problem at QB. Eventually we’re going to need to air it out to win a shoot out, and Smith will wilt as seen in the Colts game, the Saints game, and almost happened in other games. This weekend will be a test not only of our defense, but Smith if we get into a shootout with Matt Ryan, and you can BET Smith won’t be able to keep up.

Sometimes you need to strike quickly to take the momentum from the other team, sometimes the ground game is down and you need to shoulder the load, sometimes you need to send the ball more than 5 yards. SMITH CANT DO IT. He puts people to sleep and scares no one. If we didn’t have AP we’d be FUCKED
