The Gud, the bad and the Great. Rams Post game reactions

[WRSK1NS]

Good- Finally Getting a W (can't remember the last time that happened)

Bad- Penalties Much better than last week but we still can and need to do better

Great- Nice to see our Defense dominating for a change and people flying to the ball, Our New Kicker making us say Kai who?
Kirk, managed the game nicely and made the plays when he had too.
Alfmo and Jones Combo, a lethal combonation and fun to watch
Monday morninig feels so much better after a win

Curious as I didn't get to watch the game... Did Preston Smith get more playing time? How did he fare? Also I heard Jarret was playing a lot of nickel corner. How did he manage?

Preston Smith and Trent still splitting time. I thought both played decent.

And yes on Kyshoen Jarrett was getting playing time, I didnt know what capacity it was...he held up. I didnt know if he was just a package guy or in as the nickle all the time. I like it

McC so far, high marks on this draft class

We played two good teams. Good teams are going to make a run at you at some point. Their coaches are going to throw the kitchen sink at you coming out of halftime. The key for the Redskins was to absorb their best shot and then regain control of the game. The Skins did exactly that and put away the Rams in the 4th quarter. That's how it's done.



2. Kirk Cousins is not going to be able to carry the team without a running game to help him.



No shit, Sherlock! Nobody is comparing Kirk Cousins to Tom Brady. The Redskins formula is to have a strong running game and a QB who can complement it with short to medium passes. Kirk is supposed to read the defense and make accurate throws to the correct receivers. If you would like to call Kirk a "game manager", go ahead. He isn't going to be an All-Pro but if he can be efficient we can win with him. Let's be happy to have Kirk the Truck Driver to keep this runaway truck of an offense on the road.



We won! Life is good. HTTR!

Agreed. The Rams were never really in the game and I never felt like the Skins lost control even after the Britt TD.

Our formula is clearly based on the running game and defense. Nothing wrong with that, a lot of teams have won a lot of games with that approach.

Saying that KC is not going to carry this team is neither a blasphemous statement nor is it an anti-KC statement, its simply the truth. He is the best guy we have to run Grudens system. And as you agree, that doesnt mean he is Tom Brady.

I do agree with you on this point. I confess that I did perceive your comments as a knock on KC. Sorry about that. If he has to carry us, then we're in trouble. We'll probably win many of the games when we can run the ball and play tough D. Conversely, we'll probably lose nearly all of the games when we're unable to do those things.

Nevertheless, I'm happy where we are right now in what I consider to be Year 1 of our team building and that includes being happy with the play of our current starting QB.

Cousins has a 91.1 rating after week two. He is missing - by far - his best wr, and we have played two good defenses. I think he is going to absolutely torch the Giants secondary. Yea we are a run first team, but KC is not just "along for the ride". Not so far anyway.

[skinsfan69]

How about the shitty punt at the end of the half? Rams had the ball in our territory with plenty of time to at least get 3. Big defensive stand there and the Rams got nothing. Just don't even know what to say about those guys. Just outstanding team defense the last two weeks.

I like how they're calling the games. KC and the entire offense just isn't ready for a 45+ pass attempt type of game. That formula as we saw last year may put up big pass stats, but it also equals a lot of turnovers and losses. They need to keep his attempts right around 30 and give him a running game.

I think at some point we can be that offense if need be. But let all those guys grow into that, instead of forcing it like last year.

Look at the Peyton Manning teams and the Drew Brees Saints teams.. throw 45 passes and it gets ugly especially late in the season. No team should be doing that. Throw 25 passes, let the running game wear the D out and let the D beat the hell out of our opponent and we'll be fine.

Oh i agree 1000%. We arent built to be a passing team. We are built to be a running team. However once d-jax comes back i think we might be more of a dual threat offense that atleast has the ability to open it up thru the air. Not to showcase that but to use it if necessary. If our run game is clicking now wait until d-jax comes back and draws some of the heat downfield with him. I still think KC will light up the Giants. Man their pass d has been atrocious. Yes i know it was Romo n Ryan but they are not good in pass d.

Absolutely!

Redskins: Defense dominates Rams

Great win! Love beating the dirty douchy Rams and their pornstar coach.

We couldn't be more boring and I love it. First game in 20 years I can remember winning both lines of scrimmage.

It's early but I like the vibe of this team.

[Hog1]

I hope we have Callahan signed to a 20 year deal.....

[sdskinsfan2001]

Good - everything that happened before and after the 1st 10 minutes of 3rd quarter.

Bad - the opposite of above
