Needs for improvement

[redskins1164]

After watching this game I believe we really have to improve on a couple things. First of all, I will say the offense did impress me except for their red zone offense, where was Chris Cooley all game? Plus we didn't throw it deep once, you need to do that to stretch out the defense. But here are things we really need to improve on.

1. Punt and Kick Return coverage
This was absolutely horrible last night. Frost would kick it to their goal line on kickoffs but then the returner would usually make it all the way to the 30 or 40, same with punts. Coverage must be improved if we want any shot to win a game, asking too much for your defense.

2. Pressure on the qb
This has been the redskins achilles heel for like the past 6 years and we still don't got it. we were killed on third downs by Brad Johnson and he even scrambled away from some of our linebackers and defensive linemen, BRAD Johnson! I think overall we stopped the run alright even though taylor had 86 and a td he got that on like 41 carries so that don't bother me.

3. Field Goal Kicking- I just hate John Hall.

4. And last but not least- Pass Protection
I saw way too many times on third down Brunell just having to throw it away since he was under so much pressure. That cannot happen if we want to win the game. Brunell is suspect as it is, thank god he has the smarts to just throw it away.

Overall I believe this was a close game but if we had done some of the above things better then we definitely would of won this game. I still have high hopes for this team to improve and do better then they did last year. Next up- DALLAS
