Re: Redskins vs Giants GameDay Thread
On the other side of the football, I didn't see the game, but I see that we only had 1 sack (Kerrigan). That's awful. Eli is not mobile, and his line isn't very good. On teh replays of the Beckham TDs, it seems that ELi had all day. I know Hatcher was out (knee I think), and it seems that without him, no one else can provide any pressure. While I applaud the effort limiting the Giants ground game, the reality is that the Giants don't really have much of a ground game. You have to get to Eli, and when you do, he becomes a turnover machine. We didn't do that.
Anyone know anything about Hatcher's returns for the Saturday Eagles game? I hope that we can dial up some pressure somehow. I am very worried that our D was playing much better when we last played Philly, and we still gave up 37 points. Of course, their QB situation has deteriorated a bit since then (as has ours), but still -- Chip Kelly might put up 50 points on us the way we're playing.
I hope that we decide to just pound the ball -- heavy dose of the run game, and maybe mixing it up a bit and letting Redd and Thompson get some carries (what do we have to lose at this point).
