Re: What do you expect in our Week 5, Skins vs. Panthers matchup
Alright, its my turn:
During halftime there were no speeches, but the coaches were helping out their players. According to CC, he gathered Moss,JC, and Portis to just say lets make some plays.
Well it worked!
This week vs. the panthers the skins will need to do the following:
1. Run Defense- The Panther are capable to kick our tails on the ground (Preseason 08), but if the D can build what they did to the bucs' RBs, we will be straight in this category.
2. Pass Defense- I hope Blache can keep up with the blitzing from last game. JD is the opposite of Josh Johnson. What i mean is he is not a mobile QB. So if they can stop the run, than JD will be forced to make plays by his arm. This can go two ways:
DHall can shutdown SSmith(*fingercross*), than im sure that with the blitz we can produce turnovers.
Or we could get eaten up in the secondary like MStafford did(somehow).
I hope that CRogers catches 2INTs(i know, i know).
3. Run Offense- To be honest, against the Panthers 32nd ranked rush D... Portis+Mason= The first OFFENSIVE(Not STeams) rush TD!
4. Pass Offense- JC needs more than just Cooley and Moss. He needs some targets, or else itll be another defensive game.(the boring ones)
5. FGs- hopefully they are all offensive nonblocked extra points!
Punts- I dont if Hunt the Punt. will be healthy enough, but if " that other guy" has to play i hope he puts us in a good defensive position. I hope we keep punts to a minimum.
6. The First Drive/ 3rd Quarter/Second Half- These are all pivotal moments that will need to be executed pefectly in order to take this game.
First Drive- Momentum is the ____ to the ____( * add quote there*)
3rd Quarter- For the second straight game we have benn clicking in this quarter. Its also the panthers worst quarter stat-wise.
Second Half- If the redskins are winning (hopefully by a touchdown or two) we would have to close the game. Simple!
7. Jim Zorn/ Sherman Lewis- Im intersted to see if he really can help this potential-filled-struggling-offense.
8. Faith, Motivation and Support- Us Fans!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
