Maybe they cut a G or IR jones and promote a DL from the PS?

FFS, are you fuckin telling me people we are signing off the street to replace other injuried starters we are now losing to injuries? Arthur Jones was just signed 10 days ago.

We could Ricky jean Francis...I’d give him a call.

Lanier and zingy hood are really the only fat guys on the dline available then. We should probably go with more “nascar”packages with galette, Preston, Anderson and Kerrigan on the field together more often.

Or we could have Kerrigan or Preston smith with their hand on the ground, kicked inside with some looks

Cooley advocated Kerrigan should switched to interior DL last year.
Don't know where he stands on that now, but it does seem like a good way to have your best 11 on the field.
And RK was effective when he did line up inside. (Can't remember what game but he had a sack from inside this season).

Harris is back!!!

The Redskins will promote receiver Maurice Harris and defensive lineman Brandon Banks to the 53-man roster per sources. Both had been on the practice squad since the start of the season. Defensive lineman Arthur Jones will be placed on injured reserve per source.

Glad to see Harris back. I really liked him last year.

Skol and hail to you Redskins fans---Vikes fan here.

This is a big game, and you all seem like respectable NFL fans, so I thought I'd hop on and give you one Vikings fan's opinion on our match-up. I went and watched all 8 of the Redskins games to see exactly what we are dealing with and here is what I saw from an outsider's perspective, and obviously you know more about this than me, but....

-Your defense seems solid and a bit under-rated to me. Capable of bringing lots of pressure, and your DB's play the ball well and make some real nice pass deflections. Swearinger is high risk/reward in coverage.
-Kirk Cousins looks to be hot and cold, but able to turn it up in the clutch moments. His cold moments look to be due to an injured O-line.
-You don't need reminding, but the O-line is hurt. Still, get rid of T.J Clemmings. He'll probably end up getting KC hurt. If Ty Nhseke comes back that will be a big boost. He really held his own against Griff last year.
-The running game is...not there. Except for a dynamic Chris Thompson, who has done damage in the screen game. The WR's appear good, but nothing amazing.

Some Vikings insight.

-The Vikings have killed opponents run games (except oddly enough, the lions game) and have done awesome against the screen. This is not good for Thompson on paper. The Vikes feast when the enemy is one-dimensional.
-Our D is lights out so far and is great on 3rd down. That being said, I feel we must create turnovers and maybe even get our first defensive TD of the season to win this game. We lost against the Lions and while our D played great, they also dropped 4 interceptions. Even if we hold you to a low point total, if we don't capitalize on those moments, I like your chances, because our O will probably need some help from them on Sunday.
-Do not sleep on Adam Thielen and Stefon Diggs, but the rest of the corp is nothing to be afraid of. These guys are very good route runners and have good chemistry with CK. Diggs runs 60% of his routes from the right side, and I believe that is where Norman plays, correct? Norman can stick him, so Thielen will probably be the go-to guy. So far nobody has really been able to shut him down completely. He's a chain-mover.
-Our O-line is much, MUCH improved over last years atrocity, but will be tested against you guys. Our RT is out and the original starting LG is coming back from injury, but this hurts us imo cuz I would actually rather stick with the backup LG. Case surprisingly has been pretty savvy in the pocket, but does not see the field well. Missed some TD opportunities.

Bottom Line: Despite the records, I see this as an even match-up and honestly think the Skins are a team that really can play a tight game with just about anyone in the NFL. They scare me more than the Lions who beat us. Punters pinning the opposition in the their own 10 will be HUGE for both sides. A punt coverage mishap might give either O enough life to take control. I would not be surprised if either team wins, but do think this game will be close all the way through.

My Prediction: Vikings 20 (1 offensive TD, 1 defensive) Redskins 16. Redskins look dead, stuck on their own 4 yard line to start the drive with 1:01 left in the game and 1 TO. But some KC magic later and the Redskins are inside the redzone looking to score. Then Everson Griffin gets his first sack of the game pushing the Skins back to the 17 yard line. With no TO they hustle to the line to spike the ball with 1 second on the clock, but the snap is accidentally fumbled on the exchange! KC picks it up and has to improvise on the fly, throwing it to Josh Doctson covered by Xavier Rhodes in the left corner of the endzone......where it floats just a little high and harmlessly out of bounds.

Respect and stay healthy. Skol

PS I'm glad we don't have Blair Walsh missing kicks for us anymore, thanks for Forbath

Good post. You really did your homework on the Skins !

We all agree it's going to be a tough, defense wins, tight game. Both OL will likely struggle. I do think KC can give us the edge over Keenum.

You nailed it, being able to get TJ Clemmings (and Catalina) off the field is key for us.
Getting Nsekhe and/or Long and/or Scherff back could be the difference maker!

Chris Cooley thinks very highly of Adam Thielen's route running, catching and run blocking abilities. Hope Dunbar is in a good day!

Enjoy the game!

Welcome to the warpath. Good analysis. Sounds pretty spot on to me. It should be another hard fought relatively low scoring game. Looking for a fun watchable game.

I agree. Quality post from the Norseman. And should be a good game.

I think he retired when nobody would give him a job.

It was kind of a jab. At whom, I can't really remember, but I'm sure if they read it they will get it.
