POSITIVES from the game...

[Defensewins]

The Good:

#1) Rod Gardner, RodGardner, Rod Gardner is our best WR so far this year. I think he silenced the angry mob for now. I am sure next time he makes the smallest mistake or doesn't tie his shoes correctly the calls to cut him will start again.

#2) Walt Harris, WOW! Welcome! I am glad he is healthy, he had a great game. That was a really bad pass interference call against him. We now have 3 great CB's. He is an excellent addition. I am glad the coaches had the patience to wait for him to get healthy.

#3) Ron Warner - this guy is playing great. He is partcularly strong at rushing the passer, something we desperatley needed. Another great addition.

#4) Cornelius Griffin & Joe Salavea - Two great additions. They played great last night. Why does Redskins web page (depth chart) still list Noble as the starter over Salavea? That is a slap in the face to Salavea who is playing great and deserves some props.

#5) Renaldo Wynn got yet another sack last night. He is doing alot better this year.

#6) James Thrash- great to have you back.

#7) The Old Man - Ray Brown is playing mistake free. Guy is a solid vet, unspectacular at his age, but still solid.

The Bad:

#1) Who the hell is #25 safety Ryan Clark? The guy got scored on more than a whore in a whore house. Why was Andre Lott not in there instead? Was Lott hurt? I am willing to give Mr Rayn Clark another chance, but he was really bad last night.

#2) We really missed#56 Lavar Arrington.

#3) #66 Derek Dockery had a bad game. Some key penalties that put us in a hole.

#4) Ade Jimoh - had a couple of penalties on special teams.

Uhh, the "old man" got smoked for a crucial sack late in the game against Greg Ellis. He was part of a line that got burned for five sacks, and couldn't get it done in short yardage situations. Not their best effort.

Ray Brown is the 3rd string RT and 40 something years old. Dallas had the #1 defense last year and got to one game from the super bowl largely on the strength of their defense. So he got beat for ONE sack in two starts. How many plays did he participate in and did not give up a sack? Nobody is perfect.

The short yardage issue is not soley the offensive lines fault.

positives-thought the offense and brunnell looked really good in the 2nd half,portis looked comfortable in the offense finally.gardner proved his worth,tupa has to be leading the league in punting.the defense only gave up 50 yds rushing to a pretty good o-line,not as many stupid penalties,gave up less than 300 yds passing.i would say the defense has to retain number-1- ranking.==negatives,inability to score on 1 yard line,where the hell is mike barrow?too many easy drops by coles,some of the subs in the secondary really showed how green they are.also can somebody tell me where TF darien mccants is?is he in gibbs doghouse?

the best positive of all,WE STILL ALL ROYALLY,TRULY,HATE THE DALLS COWBOYS DO'NT WE????????

Oh really? Then whose fault is it?

Don Warren seems to know a thing or two about these situations, he said on the Comcast Post game show that there's no one else to blame.

Hell yeah we missed him. Marshall only had one tackle!

Positives:

#1. This team will never give up. Never count them out of a game. They're playing with heart.

#2. Clinton Portis, Clinton Portis, Clinton Portis. Nuff said.

#3. Offense is starting to come around. Still a few things to iron out, but the passing game was whole lot better this game.

#4. Brunell is true leader and warrior. He played his ass off. Yes, he made mistakes, but he kept coming back

#5. Even though the defense gave up 3 tds. They still played well enough to keep us in the game. Mind you the first td was total BS.

#6. Glad to see that Thrash was used more this game. He needs more looks. Also, Cooley made a couple of good grabs......he needs more balls thrown at him also.

#6) James Thrash- great.

#7) The Old Man - Ray Brown is playing mistake free. I'm Positive that Ray Brown is really #3 on the Depth Chart, and should stay there, if not be replaced by one of the two Rookies, Molinaro & the other guy!

The Bad:

#1) Who is #25 safety Ryan Clark?
#2) We really missed#56 Lavar Arrington.

#3) #66 Derek Dockery had two key penalties that put us in a hole.

#4) Ade Jimoh - had at least one penalty on special teams and should be cut!

If there is ever a penalty on ST or in the Secondary, I have begun to especially look for Jimoh! I hope the coaching staff realizes he is more of a detriment!

Good point about Jimoh. IF he keeps committing penalties on special teams the coaching staff needs to revalute his paticipation. But I thnk they like his potential. They will keep giving him a chance.
Regarding Ray Brown, I am sure Joe Bugel would start Molinaro or Mark Wilson if they actually were ready or good enough. They are obviously still works in process.
