I think there is a contingent of serious fans but that was the worst showing I've ever seen at FedEx Field. I saw a lot of Rams fans there when we beat them by 9-7 a few years back and I expect to see a bunch of them there this weekend. I live 5 hours away and I get there for 3-4 games a year. The fans that live in the area have little to no excuse. Believe me, it sucks watching them lose. They've lost every game I've been to except that 9-7 Rams game and the Eagles game last year. But I still go whenever I can because I love the Burgundy and Gold. I bleed Burgundy and Gold. and it pisses me off that these same sorry ass fans will start showing up when they are winning again and driving up the prices for those of us who really should be there.

Heard this stat coming into work...Since Special Teams Coach Danny Smith was fired we have had 9 Kickoff/Punt Returns for TDs in 33 games. The next closest team has 5 in that time span.


Terrible folks

Talk about the frying pan to the fire

Danny was never really the ST issue. It says something when a team like the Steelers jumps at hiring at guy when you fire him.

On a separate note, sounds like the depth chart was re-done. A little surprising (to me, at least) to see Robinson filling in for Ihenacho instead of Johnson (is that guy in the witness protection program?). Crowder has now displaced Roberts as the PR -- good news as far as I am concerned.

Danny is a quality ST coach, he definitely wasn't the issue here.

god you remember Shanny replaced him with Keith Burns who was a flippin nightmare. from wiki: "In his first coaching position Keith Burns' Special Teams unit struggled during 2013 season. According to Football Outsiders, under Burns' leadership, the Washington Redskins' Special Teams unit finished the 2013 regular season ranked last in points compared to league average"

Trent Murphy needs to take a backseat to Preston Smith

Trenton Robinson has been a better player than Jeron. Thats just a fact...

[skinsfaninok]

Yeah trent has no pass rush at all

-Some of the penalities were because players (TEs) were put in positions where the coaches should have realized there was potential for them to stuggle. Gotta have a better solution for blocking the POA. Neither Reed nor Carier are known for their blocking, putting them out there and expecting better results was a coaching mistake.

[over the mountain]

good - the first half up to the 2 min mark, solid D scheme and concept

bad - penalties killed us, another special teams TD, play calling didnt adapt for losing d jax. gruden sd we had 6 or 7 plays drawn up for d jax on PA ..... so d jax goes down and we dont stretch the field at all? you might as well have colt in there then.

ugly - D jax going down. idk if he would have still pulled his hammy or the stats but i would venture that guys who dont take any live snaps in PS are more injury prone in week 1 for things like hammys.

I was trying to get a little work done so I decided to only watch when the Redskins were on offense and everything else I listened on the radio in my workshop. What is wrong with the kick coverage? Is it mental mistakes, like players not staying in their lanes and taking bad pursuit angles or are they getting blocked, outrun, and run over? Hopefully it is the former as that is coachable the later needs new players.

[TheMalcolmConnection]

Getting BLOCKED. Our gunners were totally stuffed almost every time. I think Paul AND Hayward were the previous gunners.

Considering they are the only TE's we have, I'd say they didn't have much choice. McCoy can block but he isn't fully up to speed yet.

He's got the deep speed and I think he's ready to get his shot. Not sure if he has Jackson's skill set, we'll see. But Jackson is just too much of a pain in the ass at this point. And we may need to draft a guy next year, but I'd like to see them move forward with the younger group and not Jackson and Roberts.
