Smoot Lays the Smack Down (Redskins vs. Cowboys)

[SBXVII]

The only thing I can attribute JC to is his being able to take a hit.

My negatives on him are;

He throws behind his receivers-maybe its lack of anticipation.
He doesn't read defenses well-can't shift his protection for some reason.
He either over throws or under throws his receivers.
He throws too hard all the time-sometimes you have to finess the ball within 10yrds..

So I wasn't the only one who thought a lot of his throws to Moss were behind him then

I'm shocked. unless your being sarcastic. I seem to get railed everytime I say these things, but if your not then yes I noticed it.

When I say he throws the ball too hard within 5-10 yrds I get yelled at.

No sarcasm. There were completed throws to Moss that I thought were pretty poor.

It seem from what I saw that JC almost never hits a receiver in stride with a pass longer than 5 yds. He's best suited in a dink & dunk O.

1. Sherm Lewis is calling the plays now just as he has for the past month and a half. And how is that working out...? Reality time: They could channel the ghost of Vince Lombardi to call the plays and it would not matter; this roster does not have enough good players on it to execute the most brilliantly conceived game plan in the history of football.

2. Jim Zorn is going to smile his way to the bank. The Skins tried to humiliate him and get him to act in defiance of their orders - - so they could fire him for cause and not pay him the rest of his contract. Zorn - - or his agent - - saw through that and he adapted his behavior such that when he gets fired he will have collected all of this year's salary plus whatever is due him for the duration.

3. How about that offensive line? Was there a Redskins' Offensive lineman on the field last night who "played well"? How about "played hard"? How about "was worth a bucket of wet goat s*it"? Dockery is a journeyman and nothing more; Jones is an emergency stopgap on a team that aspires to be a good team; Rabach's best days are well in his rear view mirror; no one - - as in not a single other person who played last night - - should be allowed on next year's roster. And those three need to be consigned to backup roles.

4. How many times does it take before Greg Blache figures out that neither Laron Landry nor Rocky McIntosh can cover a legitimate route runner in the NFL? Stop calling defensive alignments that demand those skills from those players.

5. Nice to see Albert Haynesworth on the field for 60% of the plays last night. That was damned nice of him. Now if somehow he could find it in his heart to give full effort on those plays when he deigns to be on the field...

6. I am surprised that Suisham did not - - after his successful field goal - - point to Danny Boy's box and then give the "thumbs down" signal. He would have been fined for a throat slash or for flipping the bird but a thumbs down might have been "acceptable". And it would have been so appropriate. Danny Boy just punched Suisham's ticket to the playoffs with his temper tantrum...

I also agree.

JC can't anticipate when a WR will be open, He has to wait for the WR to be open before throwing then it's too late.

It's annoying to see Collins come off the bench late in the game in near freezing weather and throw two perfect deep balls in his only two plays.

I don't think JC sees the whole field.
Imagine if he was our QB for the Mark Brunell to Moss 2 TD game against Dallas, I doubt JC would attempt to make that play. Forget about the actual throw, he won't even attempt it.

I'm not sure I can make it with him as our QB another year, He has become our Kordell Stewart.

For the past two years at least. He's thrown behind pretty much everyone in the intermediary routes.. even screens.

[redsk1]

JC doesn't seem to do a good job at reading defenses. I don't know whether it's coaching, lack of audibles, i don't know. Several scouts weren't that high on JC coming out of college. They though he was a major stretch in the 1st round. They listed him as a project. A big qb w/ a big arm but not greatly mobile and a delivery that was too long. JG's gambled on him and we all know about JG's talent evaluation (hit and miss).

He is what he is. A decent qb when he's got a good run game, good protection. Who isn't? Not going to win or lose the game for you most often. A tough QB. Doesn't have great "feel" for the game and not really good enough to be a vocal leader IMO. Put it all together you've got a backup.

I had my company Xmas party last night, and I only saw a total of maybe a quarter of the game. And you know what? I couldn't have cared less. It was kind of weird. Playing Dallas at home and I wasn't bothered one bit by the fact that I missed the game. Tells you where we're at as a team.

My smackdown goes to the 2009 Redskins' season. Thanks for nothing.

Playing in your last home game against your archrival who can clinch the playoffs with a win... and you fail to score a single effing point???

Joe Theisman said this morning on the radio that he could see nearly half of this team not returning for 2010. God I hope he's right.

You know man I've been a DIEHARD skins fan my whole life.. And I can relate to what you just said.. I did watch the game because my inlaws are cowboys fans and I always watch these teams play, but I really didn't care that we were so bad, hell we have been bad for 15 years or so! I really don't know what to think about this team anymore, will the skins ever be back into the SB? I'm sure they will eventually but my god we have to rebuild yet again. I mean what happens if Shanny and Allen don't turn this around asap? How much more can US skins fans take of losing football?

It was the first Skins game I haven't watched in a long, long time. I had to be at this Xmas party, so I didn't have much of a choice anyway, but it simply didn't bother me at all that I was missing the game.

Bruce Allen is no Vinny Cerrato, thank god. Yeah, we're gonna have to rebuild, but it's better than spending an entire decade hanging on the notion that we're a player or two away. We'll be alright. I actually have faith now that Vinny is gone.
