I am impressed with the Skins
 

So it is the start of the 4th and Skins are down by 9 but I am truly impressive by Zorn and what we brought to the table.

Yes we should win, we could not covert on 3rd downs, in the redzone, and Brooks looks like my asshole. But look at our TOP, our offense, JC, Cooley, our D, especially Landry. Guys after our terrible outing last week and in the preseason we actually showed up!

And more importantly our offense looks ok and seems like Zorn has control of the team. Regardless of what happens all you naysayers have to give the Skins some love. GO SKINS!

Re: I am impressed with the Skins
 

The team has turned a corner much quicker than I thought they would. Should be a good confidence builder.

Re: I am impressed with the Skins
 

Impressed with them since we've been down 9.

Re: I am impressed with the Skins
 

Now I'm impressed with our poise and strength to come back.

Bravo Skins.

Bravo

Re: I am impressed with the Skins
 

Campbell really needed this one to get some of the pressure off his back. He played a great game.

Re: I am impressed with the Skins
 

Talk smack about JC now!!!!

Re: I am impressed with the Skins
 

Good game, what more can i say

Re: I am impressed with the Skins
 

I am impressed by:

Jason Campbell looked good throughout, the deep ball to Moss was great but the slant to win the game was excellent.

Zorn staying the course. Way to get the team together. They looked prepared and the passing game looked professional grade.

Chris Horton, but he's got his own thread.

HTTR!!!

Absolutely...I wonder what Hess will say about this?

Re: I am impressed with the Skins
 

I'm really proud of the Skins today, great win. The season is not lost after all.

Re: I am impressed with the Skins
 

We really grew over a 10 day period, and the D stepped it up big time. I'm really really impressed, because I expect that we won't regress

"The Saints were decimated with injuries."

"Campbell just got lucky"

"Brunell knocked out JC during halftime, put on his jersey and decided to all the work himself."

Re: I am impressed with the Skins
 

Even if we lost I am very impressed. Give it up to Zorn.

Re: I am impressed with the Skins
 

What A Rally! There U Go Skins!

Re: I am impressed with the Skins
 

I think this was JC's first 4 qtr comeback win, right?

Great game. I think the o-line did a great job of protecting Campbell and opening up some running lanes for CP.

Re: I am impressed with the Skins
 

What really impressed me, was the fact that Zorn used all our big play makers on offense very well. Portis, Moss, Cooley all had big games.

Re: I am impressed with the Skins
 

First and foremost, I was extremely impressed with the defense. Drew Brees is a great quarterback and we never allowed him to get comfortable. The defense was also flying around and making big plays like they did in 2005. I was very nervous about the defense, they proved me wrong and I couldn't be happier.

I was also very impressed with Campbell. His completed most of his short-to-intermediate throws and his deep passes are things to beauty. I hope Zorn incorporates more go routes into his offense. Anytime you don't turn the ball over, throw for over 300 yards, and complete more than 60% of your passes, you've had a very, very good day.

I must say that I feel like I live and die with each play. I feel like Joe Gibbs Jr. I'd love it if we just blew teams out so I didn't have heart trouble, but I'll take a game like today any week.

HTTR!!!!

Re: I am impressed with the Skins
 

well bravo to the whole redskins. Zorn did an execllent job in this game, he called better plays. Ones that actually ran routes to get first downs!!! lol but what im impressed with the most is, how much zorn let campbell have control at the line. That adubile campbell made for the 65 yard td catch to moss was just amazing. i litterly fell out of my chair screaming with excitment. Campbell really took a step further today and has won my support back for him, he really grew up today.

Re: I am impressed with the Skins
 

Campbell has never led a 4th quarter comeback-check
Jason Taylor's done as a playmaker-check
Our rookie class is a complete bust-check
Zorn is way out of his league calling plays-check
BTW-I love the ballsy call on 4th and 2 going for it and passing as well! Great call..

It was far from a perfect game, but if this is one to build on, I love the building blocks we laid down today.

it's not a career, but's it's Gigantic!
very happy for JC!!!!!!!!

Re: I am impressed with the Skins
 

Very impressed and very proud.

Ditto!!

Re: I am impressed with the Skins
 

The team now needs to address their red zone offense issues. We played against a depleted N.O. defense, and that allowed us to come back in this game. We need to score TDs when we're in the red zone, and I hope the team works that out.

I think the defense played GREAT, held a potent offense in check, and held Reggie Bush in check. Jason Taylor is working out great, and he's just going to get better.

Re: I am impressed with the Skins
 

It was great to see them dig in and get it done in the second half.

The only thing I wasn't impressed with was ARE's punt returns. I love him, but it's just painful watching him juke around back there.

Re: I am impressed with the Skins
 

Did anyone see Malcolm Kelly in the second half? I just want to know that he was on the field and not hurt again.

Re: I am impressed with the Skins
 

Where are all the people who said Campbell was done now?

Re: I am impressed with the Skins
 

[quote=steveo395;476568]Where are all the people who said Campbell was done now?[/quote]

Exactly. Completed nearly 70% of his passes and showed poise and leadership with a 4th quarter deficit facing 0-2. He even audibled into that Moss 70yd TD. I was very pleased with Jason's progress from last week.

I think they're eating crow with the people that said Ramsey was never given a chance. :silly:

Quiet around here is'nt it? If only they were as eager to give praise as criticism.

Re: I am impressed with the Skins
 

I criticized Campbell last week and I am very happy to say he played great today. Lots of positives to build on.

The audible is what made me smile from ear to ear

Re: I am impressed with the Skins
 

And Campbell will get better as our 3 2nd rounders get more involved in the games. We've hardly utilized Kelly, Thomas and Davis. Those are 3 additional weapons that he will have to utilize.

Re: I am impressed with the Skins
 

Just imagine if we actually coverted some redzone opportunities(which will come as we go along) we couldve been in the upper 40s. Things look good.

Re: I am impressed with the Skins
 

hey, our offense looks great against a terrible defense...

seriously though, jason campbell was only holding on to balls a little too long in the first half (versus WAY too long all last game) and fixed it at halftime apparently.

defense looked like it should, horton should start.

ARE should be benched on punt returns. brooks looked bad too, but the preseason showed that he can do much better, so i'd just call it a bad game at this point. coverage teams as a whole weren't great either.

DL made a lot more plays today than i remember them making per game last year, which is encouraging. thinking jason taylor's going to work out just fine (when he went out i was a bit afraid his entire year was going to be playing 10 snaps and missing the next 4 weeks, but once he came back and made more plays, well, i'm not nearly as worried about it).

red zone offense needs some work, but it looks like they got it fixed mid game... hopefully we don't do 0-5 on TD opportunities going forward.

Re: I am impressed with the Skins
 

I impressed with how much we seem to have grown as a team in the last 10 days. JC played great...down by 9 and to comeback...and i will say this much...the individual play he made with his legs to step up and hit moss for the go ahead touchdown....was great and i truly enjoyed seeing Portis run the way he did and not to mention the two tds....great performance on offense....and not to poke a jab at saint fans but shockey was responsible for two turnovers....i loved seeing that.

Re: I am impressed with the Skins
 

I think it's excellent that we "fought our guts out" LOL, and fought our way back in the game to take it in the end. Yes, we should've had a commanding lead though. All day long, the offense was able to move up and down the field at will, but we need to start punching in as much as possible when we're in the red zone. Still, that audible and the pass to Moss from Campbell was just beautiful! Certainly makes me a little more optimistic about our chances this year. Still though, we have a tough schedule. Next week will be tough!

Re: I am impressed with the Skins
 

Arizona better be "a piece of cake", cuz after that comes Dallas and Philadelphia both away. Really need next week to be a follow up to the 2nd half of this game.

Re: I am impressed with the Skins
 

JC grew a little, we need to get DT, MK and FD more involved in the red zone we drafted height and talent and they sit on the bench in those situations. I know our defense can hold their own, it was nice to see the offense contribute, we need to have Devin Thomas return punts and kick offs.

Re: I am impressed with the Skins
 

So we can play. I wasn't sure we could after the last few weeks but today had to be a shot in the arm for the entire team and especially JC. He had some accuracy problems but he played with a confidence we haven't seen and lead this team. He made the protection audbile on the bomb to Moss and generally stood tall all day. Regardless of the win we actually showed that we can play good football. I don't think we're aywhere near where we can be but we're a hell of a lot farther than we were after last week's disappointment.

Re: I am impressed with the Skins
 

This was a good win. It was an impressive comeback. The offense came through with big plays in the fourth quarter to pull off the victory and the defense played well all day. Special teams play almost cost the Skins a victory. The fumble by Randle El was bad, but the punt return touchdown by Reggie Bush was worse.
