not so, the O-line blocks well in the run game, & that Norwood kid is awesome. He'll probably start ahead of Dunn next year. There's a reason they were willing to trade TJ.

Like I said.... I am going to be there and am 1-0 for the Skins. This is a winnable game.

You have all hit it on the head though.... If we stay in our lanes and make Vick through the ball we can win this game. His recievers have shown they are not that good all year, with dropped balls etc. He is going to get his yards on the ground, you just have to limit the big plays (which has been our achilles heel this year) But I hope Gregg Williams has schemed a good game plan. Did anyone hear if they used Randel El to simulate vick in practice?

Apparently the skins aren't the only ones having troubles in the secondary. Expect the skins to go deep on Sunday.

I say have three safeties on the feild, keep Fox back like he was last week, and have AA and Taylor closer to keep some speed up close to keep Vick from running for first downs and to gaurd Algea Crumpler. Everyone agrees our cb's can handle their wrs, and maybe we could finally see what Archuletta can do when he doesn't have to drop back in coverage, and the two of them would beat up on Crumpler and Vick all day. Vick would start thinking twice about taking off, he might just step out of bounds short of a first on third down if ST was up in his face.
Obviously this wont happen...but it would be fun to watch.

Also, according to DVOA, the only team we've played this year worse than Atlanta is Tampa Bay...and that one was on the road.

As a runner, Vick is more dangerous when he drops back than he is on designed runs. So with a pass D as poor as ours, I don't think it's as simple as shutting Dunn down.

I would expect a steady diet of Falcon28 though. He hasn't been much of a factor during their losing streak, so I would expect him to get a lot more involved as they try to snap out of it.

We will win this game, and I'll tell you how.

Ready?

I have a secret weapon. I've used it the past two home games, and we've won games we definitely shouldn't have won.

While at the game - before, during, and after - I'm not going to drink anything alcoholic.

It's drastic, I know. Before the Dallas miracle, I had come off two hard nights of drinking, and just didn't feel like beating my own ass. Miracle win. Last week, I actually forgot my wallet, so no cocktails. Upset victory.

What I'd like for you all to do is consider that if you keep doing what you're doing, you're going to keep getting what you get. I got schnockered at tailgates, and we were losing. I stopped, and things changed.

PS - if we lose, they're going to have to pour me out of that stadium.

Ya know...I don't think that a Skins win is worth not drinking during a football game...

Redskins8588 · 11-30-2006, 12:00 AM

I think that the Redskins have a very good shot at winning this game on sunday. Not only do we have to worry about Vick's running, but I think that the D also has to take Vick's only target out of the game and of course I am talking about Crumpler. Vick almost always looks for him when he is in trouble, and right before he takes off. If we can cover Crumpler and I am pretty confident that our CB's are better then their WR's. So as long as we let Vick do the running between the 20's only then it should be a good day for us....

djnemo65 · 11-30-2006, 01:35 AM

I haven't been able to watch the Falcons much this year, especially during this slide. Someone who has seen the games, what have been some of the succesful defensive strategies employed by opposing teams, from your observation?

dmek25 · 11-30-2006, 06:28 AM

gtripp quoting gtripp? even the games when Vick runs, its almost like if he runs too much, its not good for their offense. last week he had over 150 yards rushing, and they still lost. i say dline stay in your lanes and make Vick( the inaccurate one) beat us throwing. if that happens, oh well

redsk1 · 11-30-2006, 12:21 PM

IMO we've got to score 24pts+ to win this game. I don't think just 14-17pts are going to do it.

Very winnable game though.

hesscl34 · 11-30-2006, 08:23 PM

They are hungry for a win, but if our D shows up like it did last week, they might as well stay home!!
