I am predicting 21-17 Skins.

Defense is improved and holds them to 17 or less. Kirk manages the game and does a nice job getting the ball out quick and spreading it around. Djax will get a quick 6, Matt Jones will get a goal line carry and get his first TD. Jordan Reed catches a pass over the middle for 6 before pulling a hammy.

A lot of question marks going into this game on defense for me.

I have to assume the defense will better if only because they were so bad last year.

w/ Hatcher+Knighton+Paea+Ryan we have a strong front on paper. But how will Barry use them? Can another pass rusher emerge from Trent Murphy, Preston Smith and my fav of the trio Jeffcoat?

Will we get the Dash from Tampa or the Dash from the 49ers?

Will Hall look better then he's looked during preseason?

Will Amerson get his play to match with his talent?
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Miami only had average run defense last year. I'm sure Suh makes them better in this regard but on the ground is their most vulnerable area. I guess we'll see if all the talk about a strong running game and sticking to run holds true.

Kirk has to protect the ball. The coaches have to call a gameplan to protect him, they can't put this game all on his shoulders. When we throw Kirk's ability to get the ball out quick is gonna be paramount because the Maimi pass rush is formidable. Game plan should account for this accordingly with RB screen, WR screens and RB draws and movement passes. No turnovers!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Crowder and the return team needs to give us better starting field position. Starting field position can really help scoring. Starting a drive from the 20+ instead of -20 is often the difference between a punt and a field goal.

Game changers--Score on special teams or defense. Defense creating a turnover. Big explosive 30-40+ yard TD on offense.

13-9 Dolphins. We can only manage 3 field goals when Capt. Kirk isn't turning the ball over or having 3 and outs. Somehow we hold a late lead 9-6 until Tannehill drives down the field at the end to score the game winning td. Suh and co. wreak havoc on our offensive line, to start off what turns into being the best free agent acquisition in history not named Manning or Brees.

@Chris_Worthy_: Several INTs from the 1st and 2nd string QBs today. Should be a topic to bring up at 1:30 with Jay

RedskinJake · 09-09-2015, 01:30 PM

Dolphins 24, Redskins 21.

KC goes 19 of 29 for 210 yards, 2 TDs and 2 INTs

Running game is mostly ineffective averaging 3.5 yards a carry.

Secondary plays well but gives up a few key plays.

O-line looks rough but serviceable, gives up 3 sacks.

Redskins hold 21-14 lead in mid 3rd quarter but Dolphins score 10 unanswered.

I wasn't far off... Running game was excellent which I never saw coming.

Ah what the heck? Let's be optimistic before the reality sets in:

Redskins 31, Dolphins 23

Cousins looks better than expected -- 23 for 33 for 285 yards and 2 TDs, 1 INT
Morris and Jones shred the Miami D for 175 yards on the ground (Morris 100 yards and 1 TD and Jones for 75 and 1 TD).

Cobra Kai nails a 49 yarder.

Suh gets into our backfield and comes away with 3 sacks in the first half, but then Jay wakes up and does bubble screens and a few shovel passes to neutralize it thereafter, leading to some good YAC for Jones and Morris.

All the pundits chalk up the Redskins win to the Dolphins laying an egg rather than good play on our part, and the Redskins move up from a power ranking of 32 to 30.

What's even worse is that I just got a look at our schedule and couldn't figure who we can beat. Not one game where I could comfortably say: "OK, pretty sure we can win this one."

Probably the most negative I've been in my 50 (!) years of being a Redskins fan. Man, I hope I'm wrong about this...

I don't disagree but I looked at the schedule today and I feel like there are only 4 or 5 games that we couldn't win if the line plays up, Cousins plays reasonably well and the secondary doesn't play like 4 college buddies who blackedout in the stadium and woke up in uniform on gameday. On the plus side that sounds like a decent movie plot anyway.. Hangover 4?

Gruden stating Jamison Crowder will return punts and Chris Thompson will return kickoffs per Kiem this weekend.

I'm surprised he wasn't cut during the offseason. He didn't do much last year either.
