I'd say he's doing pretty good, especially when you consider he converted from WR just last season, but I wouldn't say he's THAT good, I remember him getting burned on a few plays.

Bree and Phillips should sit. Dunber and fuller have been great.

Yep in fact Dunbar should keep starting. Breeland move to the nickle or something

Breeland gets beat a couple of times in Game 1 by one of the top NFL receivers and all of the sudden he's not good enough to be our #2 CB? Don't be ridiculous. Norman should have been on Brown, anyway.

I also think that due to the injury. I like bree but dunbar has been balling lately.

We will need Cravens to help cover sproles on 3rd down because he will smoke Will Compton.

If Reed can't go. I'll be really worried.

I think the Eagles got this though in my gut.

Breeland was playing like shit and everyone knew it. Not sure Phillips should even be on an NFL field.

I hope Reed can go!

I'm just going to be completely honest with you guys. I would love to be excited about our 3-2 start. But let's look at the facts. We haven't had a very good offensive performance thus far this season. Kirk Cousins continues to leave big plays on the field. The running game has been below average with the exception of the Browns game. The defense has sucked all year with the exception of the Ravens below average offense. This game against the Eagles is winnable. However, I'm not very confident.

The Eagles can run and pass the ball. We haven't been able to stop anyone from running the ball and we are the worse in the league on third down. Our running game is joke and Kirk can't hit the deep ball to save his life. The Eagles defense has been decent over the first five weeks. There is a lot to be worried about.

I wish I shared your optimism. Unfortunately for me im living in the real world. This team can not stop the run. That means our opponents can move the ball on the ground and controll the clock. Until this team proves they can stop the run I'm confident they can beat any team and neither should ant Redskin fan. Our offense has been able to move the ball but Kirk has consistently missed big plays down the field. If he would have hit a wide open desean Jackson last Sunday he could have iced that game. But once again he managed to miss him and put our defense in a tough position. I have no confidence in Kirk, Jay, Sean, or Joe.

There are also some encouraging signs my friend.

While Kirk has missed some big play throws we expect him to make, he is still 6th overall in passing yards through the air and 6th in total passing yards. I tend to believe Kirk will start connecting on more long balls .. but he has hit some. He will get better.

Also, did you know our defense has not given up a 2nd half touchdown for 3 games now? I didnt know that. Thats pretty good second half adjustment by our pinata boy Barry and Fewell and co. Of course that stat coincides with our 3 game win streak coming against 2 winning teams. Which is nice. A lil win streak in the first half of a season is always a welcome guest.

Our 3rd down defense has to improve and I think they kept the Ravens to a conversion rate of 3/15 or something like that. Thats a start. Id like more of that please.

Great point.

I also think Joe Barry is a "young" coach, he just had two seasons as D coord, back in 07-08, and we're seeing him progress already. Against the ravens I'd say he adapted way better than the first 4 weeks, well, better gameplan for sure!
With time he might become a very good coach, I already feel like this D is looking happy to play for him, more hungry than previous years!
