Time for the Jets

[irish]

I would be shocked if the Skins lost this game. It may not be an easy win but it will be a win.

I can promise you it's not going to be easy.

It will be interesting to see if Kellen Clemens provides a boost for the Jets. The Redskins need to win this game and I expect they will.

A lot of it depends on who they start at QB. -EDIT- Now Clemens has been named the starter. -EDIT-

Clearly, Pennington is not to blame for their 32nd ranked defense, one that is almost as bad as ours was last year.

However, the fans and media are taking their frusteration out on Pennington, who is not doing spectacular, but is playing pretty alright all things considered. He's got no help from his running game, but the Jets passing game is still about average.

So in an attempt to correct the only part of their team that is right, the Jets have just announced that Kellen Clemens, their young gun will start against the Redskins this week. Clemens was underwhelming at the end of the Buffalo game last week.

Also mentioned in the decision to replace Chad were words such as "spark" and "grit".

Does any of this sound familiar? If so, you might be a Redskins fan.

I am really wary about this game. Clemens comes in, and we don't have substancial film on him. Our offense has been struggling like mad and our defense has no scouting report on Clemens, and additionally we just got gashed bad in the run game.

I'd love to be proven wrong, but I'm taking the Jets in this one.

So basically, what you're saying is, Clemens will provide the spark the Jets need to win...

The Jets needed to try something. Their season is sunk, time to toss the kid in and see what he can do. I'd much rather face a green Kellen Clemens vs. Chad Pennington.

Agree or disagree, does anyone think this might be the week that we decide to open up the offense = throw on a down other than 3rd?????

I think we could really build campbell's confidence with some successful downfield throws against one of the the worst defenses in the NFL. Squeaking another one out is not gonna help us find ourselves.

I guess the main question is.....did this beating wake up the staff?

Some of you guys must not watch the games... Washington came out slinging on the first several drives yesterday. There were very few, if any, run, run, pass drives. Not calling pass plays, and being unable to execute the pass plays that are called are two completely different things.

Let's see

All the turnovers by Campbell were on third and longs. and yes. i watched us throw maybe one pass beyond the line of scrimmage to a receiver all game....and it was to James Thrash

You're still incorrect, but you just made a completely different statement that your last post. You made it sound like Washington didn't pass at all on first and second down.

I'm saying we have run defending issues, and that if Clemens has to throw against us off playaction, we very easily could be caught out of position.

I'm also saying that they won't need a lot of points to have a late lead.

It's probably a better situation than having to play Pennington, who would still have been playing for his job, but this is a very bad matchup for us against a not so great team.

C'mon at least have some respect. I don't care who it is, it's not cool to disrespect the guy's name. Thrash has always been a guy known for busting his tail.

Your defending a bad offense that is one-dimensional. I wanted them to let JC throw downfield on first and second down against the Jets. And you argued and said I didnt watch the game???? We have no WR TD's, I'm sorry you love Al saunders....but he's 9-14

Yes randy moss is lazy, lloyd is lazy, thrash fights his guts out. But you cannot ignore talent and playmaking ability. Lloyd should be in on third down passing situations to offer a threat. Thrash is a special teamer and decent blocker.

Sorry for trashing his name. I got heated on the play when we tried to go deep to him.
