Smoot Lays the Smack Down (Redskins at Cowboys)

The thing I hate about the media is they are talking like Romo is that Sully the airplane pilot that landed the plane in the hudson. He played with a broken rib. So have other QBs, better and as good as him. And I'm sure those QB's didn't mention it to the whole public like his dumbass

A buddy and I were watching the game and he said Romo looks like LeBron out there, whining after every play, yelling at his teammates, throwing up his hands, making this exasperated face like he deserves better.

Then you hear Jaworski praising the guy for "educating the youngsters on the field" and it's impossible not to laugh.

If I'm being honest, it's a great story for an undrafted QB to come in and put up the numbers he has, and if he played for any team or owner other than Dallas, I'd probably think, "hey, that's great." But he plays for Jerry, on the most pretentious team in football.

Hell, I can't believe I'm admitting this but I was rooting for Wade Phillips watching the Texans this week. They're my 2nd favorite team (how can you not like Schaub to Andre Johnson?) and it's amazing how much less of a douchebag Wade seems now that he's several hundred miles away from the Jerrydome...

Anyone else think that Cooley looked slow, and not the usual slow where he breaks 100 tackles. I'm talking about slow slow after the catch he just looked like he didn't have any gas in the tank?

I finally watched the game on NFL rewind...which sucks...I had to take a nap so I could watch the game midnight Wed morning which was the soonest they play it...
Not suprised at all.
Our redzone continues to suck, although our kicker is improved.
The Redskins continue to invent new ways to lose games that they should win.
As I predicted earlier..this is a 7-9 team better than last year and competitive...but clearly not a winner yet....give us another decade or two (or a change in ownership) and we may eventually see a 17th game.

All I can say is Gibbs was a lot better than most of you give him credit for in Gibbs 2.0....possibly better than the Superbowl teams with really solid talent.

Yeah, his avg YAC is terrible right now (1.8). This is a guy who was averaging over 7.0 YAC under Gibbs 2.0, and even managed 6-ish under Zorn. Last year he fell to barely over 5.

Lest anybody think that was a fluke of the new offense, Sellers had a 7.6 YAC average last year on 20 receptions. I think Cooley is just wearing down.

Man, I wish Kerrigan wouldn't of got caught in empty space on that big 3rd and 21. After re-watching the play a few times.. If Kerrigan actually keeps coming up field, then he hurries Romo into a quicker throw, or even gets a sack.

Instead he starts to back off and play coverage and it gives Romo more time to make the play down field.. I guess he finally showed his "rookie-ness"

GTripp0012 · 09-28-2011, 04:23 AM

Well, Kerrigan was one of the few guys on that play actually executing his assignment. Is it a better outcome if he just goes straight to Romo and leaves the back? Sure, but then he's not executing his assignment, and the back is uncovered.

Can we smackdown posts like this?

How could the third game of the season confirm your prediction that this is a 7-9 team?

How would you know what his assignment was? Looked to me like a 0 Blitz, and Kerrigan started to follow the back.. Didn't seem to be in man coverage with the RB..

But I guess we wont ever know.

Because the sky is falling.
But that's another thread.

Yeah, I think Kerrigan needed to do a better job of keeping contain. It looks to me like that was his job, not covering the back. I think that play is an unfortunate example of Kerrigan's learning curve.

Wayyyy back when, we got called for it once. It was when Antonio Pierce was still with the team. It was near the goal line and you could see AP's head moving as he barked out signals. Refs called him on it. It gave the other team a first and goal and they promptly scored.

I remember watching it and thinking "Damn, that was dumb!"

I guess the NYJ did it too:

for comparison, and cause it's one of the things I can remember happily about the game, here is one of the ones from MNF. (i can't believe we didn't recover any of these
