Smoot Lays the Smack Down (Redskins vs. Dolphins)
 

Well, let's get right to it

[B]Our QB Situation[/B] I mean this goes without saying, yet at the same time it bears repeating. With apologies to Slingin Sammy, Rex Grossman is 10,000 times better than Beck. Beck would not have given us the opportunities Rex did today. That said, Rex is so infuriating. Makes that great throw to Hankerson and then tries to replicate it again on the next play when we have 1st and goal inside the 10. Neither QB is the future. And, unlike, other positions, we have no one on our roster who would be. We need a QB

[B]Defense[/B] Defense can't keep making the excuse that the offense didn't score a TD. Yes, they had a couple of key turnovers but they also let the Dolphins march easily down the field twice and gave up big 3rd down plays. It's inexcusable.

You know what, I think I'll just the rest of you handle it this week. Lay the smack down

Re: Smoot Lays the Smack Down (Redskins vs. Dolphins)
 

Torain is frustrating. He missed a big cutback early in the game and he just seemed ineffective overall. Helu just seems to have better vision.

Re: Smoot Lays the Smack Down (Redskins vs. Dolphins)
 

Continues to be a tough season.

Re: Smoot Lays the Smack Down (Redskins vs. Dolphins)
 

Torain is junk. Helu equaled his rushing total in half the carries.

Re: Smoot Lays the Smack Down (Redskins vs. Dolphins)
 

Gano.

But just for this week. I don't think he should be cut by any means. I'm on his side and of all the problems this game, kicker is the least of our worries.

But Gano missed a couple of key kicks this week. You make an almost 60 yard FG last week then pull 2 shorter kicks off to the left the next week? Consistency, buddy. Better luck next week.

Re: Smoot Lays the Smack Down (Redskins vs. Dolphins)
 

[B]The Use of Ryan Torain[/B] Roy Helu - 6 carries, 41 yards
Ryan Torain - 10 carries, 20 yards

This is beyond stupid. We can't get a promising rookie carries because we're a franchise that lacks both foresight and evaluation ability.

[B]Maurice Hurt[/B] wasn't very good. Not terribly shocking.

[B]Holding Penalties[/B] Can't call what you don't see.

Re: Smoot Lays the Smack Down (Redskins vs. Dolphins)
 

[B]Terrence Austin[/B] A polished route runner, but he's just not very good. I don't see a future for him on this team, or this league. He can play against second teamers, but we should be building towards a team that can compete in this division.

Re: Smoot Lays the Smack Down (Redskins vs. Dolphins)
 

Our playcalling is once again mind-numbing. Particularly when we had 3rd and 2 in the red zone, and not only didn't we run, we called a play with a 5 step drop and take a sack for a 10 yard loss. Leaves us with a 50yd FG attempt, which was missed.

So Shanny had never been shutout in his career, nor had he ever lost 5 in a row... Just come to Redskins, Mike! We set records for futility like no one else!

Re: Smoot Lays the Smack Down (Redskins vs. Dolphins)
 

I'm working on Scud's Studs right now. It's really freaking difficult....

Re: Smoot Lays the Smack Down (Redskins vs. Dolphins)
 

Secondary--we really are not good at covering folks. Why isn't Gomes out there? Can it really be worse than Doughty?

O-line: Jeeze--some of those sacks were just awful. Obviously, we have just no depth and not all that much talent starting. Who'd a thunk that we'd be lamenting the loss of Kory Lich.? Oy.

I wanted to go with Beck to see if anything was there, better to know than not. We now know Beck isn't an option.

Re: Smoot Lays the Smack Down (Redskins vs. Dolphins)
 

i honestly didnt see any one player or unit have a really bad game . . . outside of the run game. my god our run game has to be they worst run game in the league the last 3 to 4 games or so.

so while they only gave up 2 sacks, the O line and the total disappearance of the stretch run play is my big smack upside the head. homie dont play that.

GM - for studs, you got kerrigan and i think the safeties. i know it was matt moore but they didnt let a brandon marshall led receiving corps get behind them for a big play. i cant really think of many big passing plays on us all year wit or without atogwe. maybe even rex? compared to last couple weeks he did wonders

Re: Smoot Lays the Smack Down (Redskins vs. Dolphins)
 

I just watch skins games now for the humor part and the 'ooh called it' parts of the game. Example redskins in Miami's territory 10 yards away from scoring.
Me: watch, rex is going to throw a pick here.

(Rex drops back with lots of time and throws a pick to Karlos Dansby)

Me: HAHAHa ha...ooh god we suck, and are so predictable.

Re: Smoot Lays the Smack Down (Redskins vs. Dolphins)
 

Mike Shanahan - yes because he wanted these 2 QBs and didn't draft a rookie after having a chance at Dalton in the 2nd.. What a sad joke

Rex Grossman- Dude you make some good throws until it's time to actually score then u **** it all up over and over.

Defense - played ok but too many holes in the secondary and I thought that would b a strong point.

Kyle again- 3rd and 2 and u don't run ? Speechless

Re: Smoot Lays the Smack Down (Redskins vs. Dolphins)
 

Sean Locklear and Mo Hurt are just terrible.

Torain is done

Re: Smoot Lays the Smack Down (Redskins vs. Dolphins)
 

Oh and I'm laying the smackdown on us fans for clowning Carlos Rogers because he's playing like a pro bowler in SF... Of course he would isn't that the skins luck?

Re: Smoot Lays the Smack Down (Redskins vs. Dolphins)
 

I didn't watch the game due to work, but since some asshat was kind enough to spot my Redskins jacket and ask me if I was bitter since they lost, I figure there's not much point in me reliving the misery now. Judging from the board and the stat line, sounds like Grossman wasn't very effective.

My only smackdown will come from the obvious: Looking at the scoreboard, it's apparent we only scored 9 points. So my smackdown is on the offense for again failing to score touchdowns. I'd say fix it but injuries and a lack of good depth/starters probably means our offense is going to look this way for the rest of the season.

We came thiiiiiis close to Locker, which would have made me happy, but then no Kerrigan and company. Could have gotten someone like Stanzi though I suppose

The whole Beck thing confuses me

Little harsh on Hurt I'd say. Second career start for a 7th round pick facing a HOF in Jason Taylor.

Locklear has been a disappointment.

Torain is way too inconsistent

Re: Smoot Lays the Smack Down (Redskins vs. Dolphins)
 

I was at the game and the stadium was about 35-40% Skins fans. The sad thing after the game was most of the fans weren't mad we lost, it was almost expected and accepted.

Also, you could really see the talent gap between us and the Dolphins. Think about that for a minute, the talent gap between us and a 1-7 team. I'm firmly of the belief we have one of the 3 worst rosters in the NFL if not the worst. Maybe Indy and Cleveland are in the conversation also but we've got a long, long way to go.

Re: Smoot Lays the Smack Down (Redskins vs. Dolphins)
 

Hankerson.... :cheeky-sm

The problem is we don't..

Matt Moore would have allowed us to win today, Rex Grossman and Beck simply aren't sufficient enough to win.

No, we really, really do. The only starters we had, on either side of the ball who would started over their Miami counterpart may be Orakpo, Kerrigan, Fletcher, Landry and maybe Darrell Young. THAT'S IT! Our roster is pathetic.

Ok but Miami is also suffering from a crappy quarterback for the most part. Their team is definitely "the best of the worst".

Hank is good pain

Re: Smoot Lays the Smack Down (Redskins vs. Dolphins)
 

[quote=skinsfaninok;858973]Hank is good pain[/quote]

Yes, he is. But he wouldn't have started over Marshall or Bess on the Dolphins.

Let me restate my point, I'm not saying that all we have is bad players, just that even most of our good ones wouldn't start on the 1 win team we faced today.
