I think Sun KC was playing not to lose instead of playing to win. It ain't gonna be good enough against Oak cause they're going to score. KC is going to have to make some plays and score TD's if we're going to win. |

With a solid D, I think we can play more conservative ... but if you do that, you cant turn the ball over in the RZ. ![]() Counter Trey - Gfycat I cant get the gif to show up but this is from Wash Po insider which used to do more film breakdown a few years ago. Bullock does a great job imo. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/...=.ba2dc19629bc

Seeing Scherff and Moses pulling around on that counter trey brings a tear to my eye. And watch the end of that run the way Scherff looks to just finish a dude. It's like he's driving a Ford Superduty and he sees a deer run in front of him, but instead of braking he accelerates to see how big a splatter he can make. Scherff and Trent are easily my two favorite Redskins.

Re: Raiders Vs Skins Pregame Thread
Oh great: Offensive Line of the Week: Raiders unit utterly dominates Jets - NFL.com
Of course, our line was pretty solid last week too, as acknowledged here. Man, the Raiders are playing well right now. But we're not the lowly Jets or the Titans (who they only beat by 10 in one of the most statistically even matches I can recall -- check it out: Watch Oakland Raiders vs. Tennessee Titans [09/10/2017] - NFL.com). This seems like it will be a tight game. I really hope that our air attack can get back on track. The Raiders can be had over the middle -- a friend of mine who is a huge Raiders fan is really worried about that given Reed and Crowder. I think we need to work the middle and pound the rock. Keep the ball away from the Raiders offense.

Re: Raiders Vs Skins Pregame Thread
We need to score early and get a lead so we can win the TOP battle and pound the rock.
I hope Kirk can carry his performance from the game winning drive last Sunday and keep playing that way. Given that the o-line did a good job against a strong D-line and we had a running game, I feel that Kirk has no excuses for a poor performance. Big test for all aspects of the team. While I would like for the team to go 2-0 in the next two, I don't think that is realistic. Winning at home against a playoff team would be huge, given that we go to Arrowhead the following week to play a Super Bowl contender the following week.

This one becomes a QB duel and I'm going out on the limb to say Cousins wins it. 300 yards and 3 TDs. It'd be ridiculous to say Trent Williams is a break out. But I say he shuts down Khalil Mack in prime time and everyone in America goes whoa, who's 71? No sacks for Mack.

Re: Raiders Vs Skins Pregame Thread
If you compare the first two opponents, I would say the Skins have had the tougher matchups across the board, so I'm not all that enamored with the "undefeated" Raiders. They are definitely a good team, but how good they are is yet to be determined. This game will provide us a better understanding of where both of these teams really are.
Being at home must count for something, but the whole primetime thing worries me. My gut tells me that the offense will pick up where they left off and the defense will be more than solid. Hope that's true and it's enough to get it done. |

Re: Raiders Vs Skins Pregame Thread
Feels like Pryor needs a confidence builder like taking a deep one to the house. He's due.

Re: Raiders Vs Skins Pregame Thread
That's be a huge confidence builder for Cousins too.
