Time to pre-game this sucker!

Re: Skins vs Cardinals pre-game thread
 

Ohhhhh yeah!!! I hear our D reallly likes corn on the Kolb!!!! Kolb and Grossmans numbers very similar last week. WHo covers Fitzgerald & Doucet?? Beenie Wells had 90 tough yds also. Lets breakem down!!

Re: Skins vs Cardinals pre-game thread
 

its gonna be a dog fight... hoping Landry can get back on the field .. hoping the o-line can perform better in pass pro and getting the edges set on runs... we need consistent pressure on slob without selling out too much and leaving the secondary vulnerable ... its gonna be a tough coaching and playing game...vwe need to come out firing on all cylinders instead of a slow start and hopefully keep ut up for 60 minutes...

Re: Skins vs Cardinals pre-game thread
 

Arizona's offense will be a tougher test than the Giants. Kolb threw the ball great against Carolina with a 11.4 yards per attempt. I really hope LL is back this week and we should be able to get pressure on him with our DLine. They ran the ball ok last week, but so did the Giants.

Arizona did a really, really good job against the run last week, holding Stewart and Williams to a 2.7 yard average on like 25 attempts. Their secondary is very, very poor. We should have opportunities in the passing game, but Im more interested in how we game plan our running attack. We struggled the second half and with very perdictable play calling from a run perspective. Id like to see try Torrain in between the tackles this week and like to see Helu get the ball in space on screens or maybe a pitch out the backfield. Our Oline [B]should[/B] be able to handle their front better in protection.

This will not be an easy win, but I think we pull away in the 4th.

Skins 26 Cards 16

Re: Skins vs Cardinals pre-game thread
 

Another score by the D would nice!

Re: Skins vs Cardinals pre-game thread
 

Pass protection has to show up and defense has to be consistent from week to week -- Grossman showed what he can do when given enough time and he was still peeling himself off the field most pass plays.

I'd also like to see Hightower step it up -- the defensive front of the Cards is just a little bit less than the Giants. Most importantly, lets see if big TW bounces back.

Re: Skins vs Cardinals pre-game thread
 

27-20 Skins. Hopefully Rex torches their secondary.

Re: Skins vs Cardinals pre-game thread
 

I think this game will come down to the wire, I see Fitz having around 9 catches but I feel like the skins will pull this one out.. 26-21 Look for Moss to continue his roll and Gaffney with another TD catch. Orakpo will have 2 sacks

Re: Skins vs Cardinals pre-game thread
 

I will be very curious to see which Rex shows up. During his Super Bowl year of 2006, he had several games with passer ratings in the 100's, just as he did against the Giants. But he also had several games where his passer rating did not break 20.

Rex had a good game against the Giants. Let's hope he brings that every week including this one.

I find it very entertaining to check out the other teams forums before a game.....

I think Rex has spoken to that as more of a system issue with Chicago. This system has more structure and discipline, therefore more accountability from the coaching staff. Keeping that discipline is what Rex needs to do. But what Ive seen last year and so far this year, he's been able to do that.

Re: Skins vs Cardinals pre-game thread
 

Time to be consistent. I'm looking forward to seeing if we can get our run game going this week. I noticed last week we ran to the outside a lot of the time. Now I understand and love that aspect of the game, but we need to mix it up from time to time, because it felt like every time we ran, it was towards the corners. Spread 'em wide and run a couple draws up the middle just to balance it out a little bit. But other than that I'm looking for improve o-line play and I'm curious to see how our secondary plays against AZ's wideouts.

I think Grossman will have a good game. I'm excited to see the gameplan because I know our coaches are dedicated enough to find all the Cards' weaknesses and set us up so we can exploit them. This team will be hard to beat, but they are beatable.

Honestly I'm salivating at the thought of what we can do to them on offense. But make no mistake if our offense plays bad, we won't have a shot at winning this game. I know Hightower will be extremely excited to show his former team what he can do. Last week was Barry Cofield's Giant Reunion, this week will be Tim Hightower's Family Reunion. Lets get it men!

I hope so. I wasn't trying to be doom-and-gloom. Obviously I hope he smokes them.

Re: Skins vs Cardinals pre-game thread
 

I agree w Lotus, I have to see it to believe it when it comes to Rex.. Had a great game last week but lets see another solid outing this week..

It's a valid point. I will be a HAPPY man if Rex can string several positive performances together. THEN my stomach will not be so Knotted up when I watch him drop back.
HTTR!

Re: Skins vs Cardinals pre-game thread
 

Probably more worried about this game than last week's (and I was worried about last week's even though I expected a win). The Cardinals will attack our secondary consistently, and unless we get to Kolb they will hit several of those. I expect we will need a good offensive outing because I expect a last man standing type day.

Skins 35 Cards 31

(and I honestly think we can reach 35, that's a great sign from a few years ago)

Re: Skins vs Cardinals pre-game thread
 

i cant wait to see a repeat perfomance by kerrigan and our defense this week

Re: Skins vs Cardinals pre-game thread
 

Cards secondary is bad no doubt but lets just wait and see on Rex

One of those fans made an astute observation: the Cards usually play poorly when they travel east.

On that basis I will say:
Skins 27
Cards 17

Re: Skins vs Cardinals pre-game thread
 

As you read throough the thread, several more have made that statement. I never thought of it but it works for me!

Re: Skins vs Cardinals pre-game thread
 

Skins 30
Cards 27

I do hope the Cards secondary really is that bad and we kick their ass, but this one feels like it will be tight for some reason.

Re: Skins vs Cardinals pre-game thread
 

I had this game pegged as a win before the season started so I am certainly going to stick by that based on what I saw last Sunday.
Zona's secondary was a sieve vs the Panthers.
I think we win this by 14+ or so.

Re: Skins vs Cardinals pre-game thread
 

I think this is a fairly big game as far as early tests go. Even if we go into Dallas 2-0 and lose there, we know we get another shot later on.

Hopefully Hightower finds his groove and can rip off a couple of long ones. I expect to see a little more of Helu Sunday. Maybe 5-10 touches?

Skins 30
Card 13

Re: Skins vs Cardinals pre-game thread
 

Hey was anybody here at the game against the Giants?? And if so was it as loud there as it looked on tv???? Especialy when RK made his play, it looked like the place was rockin!! Hope it is the same way Sunday!!!

Re: Skins vs Cardinals pre-game thread
 

i wonder how much hightower will have told the skins???

Re: Skins vs Cardinals pre-game thread
 

[quote=doughtydoubter;835686]i wonder how much hightower will have told the skins???[/quote]

probably the same amount as V Holliday told the Cards. If anything, I imagine Holliday has more inside scoop on our Dline then Hightower has on Kolb.

Also can't see either one doing too much damage.

Re: Skins vs Cardinals pre-game thread
 

Skins 41

The Panther's offense rolled all over their D. The PANTHERS!

Also, their only real weapon is Fitz. He may get behind our secondary for a score if Landry is missing, but I expect our D to shut them down even more than we did the Giants. Kolb has never impressed me. Beanie Wells is mediocre, will probably get injured this game.

Re: Skins vs Cardinals pre-game thread
 

Hightower Time... and of course D. Hall comes up with the big pick!

Looks about dead even as far as their predictions.

Re: Skins vs Cardinals pre-game thread
 

I stopped after the first post:

[QUOTE]Washington is beating their chest after beating a banged up Giants team.[/QUOTE]

And the Cards barely slipped by a Panthers team that won 2 games last year, and got lit up by a rookie QB.

:doh:

Cool sig, I didnt know D Hall had a website...just added to favorites.

and then he has merchandise? D Hall t shirts look pretty cool. I know a few here probably have a stash of them.

Re: Skins vs Cardinals pre-game thread
 

redskins impress with a solid run game and our seondary comes to life with a couple to's

Re: Skins vs Cardinals pre-game thread
 

skins win big

30 - 7

Re: Skins vs Cardinals pre-game thread
 

Would like to see the run game continue to progress and the passing game should be expected to pick up any slack against the Cards lackluster secondary. I think Arizona will be able to challenge the Skins D a little more in the passing game then the Giants did. Fitz is a tough matchup and will probably be able to get his. This should be a good opportunity for Rak and Kerrigan to show what kind of pressure they can apply as a tandem. I see a competitive game that the Skins are able to finish in the 4th quarter.

Redskins 27
Cardinals 14

Re: Skins vs Cardinals pre-game thread
 

Wow.. Reading the Cardinals forums makes me think we have like 20 undercover Redskin fans out there. Or they are just bigger realists then we are lol..

2/3 of their predictions have the Redskins winning by a touchdown+

Re: Skins vs Cardinals pre-game thread
 

Glad this is a 1 o'clock kickoff. I hate waiting around for the 4 oclock kickoff. usually gotta good meal to eat with a nice cold one.
