How do we play Seattle on D?

when we had ST, i would have worried less about the pass, now i dont know.

Thing is Seattle hasn't faced a physical team quite like the Skins this year. Understand, we play in the NFC EAST and that can't be taken for granted. No offense but they've played the Rams twice and 49ers twice this year.

Samuels and company have faced the best defensive end duo twice this year (Giants) and pretty much shut them down and did the same with Trent Cole from the Eagles. Also I'll take DaMarcus Ware over Patrick Kearney any day of the week, and Samuels had a pretty solid game vs. Ware in the final game.

I think top to bottom we've faced more than Seattle just from a competitive standpoint this year. I really think this game is going to boild down to a test of the wills as much as physical talent.

Seattle is already one dimensional by choice. If we can contain their passing game we'll have an excellent shote at winning this game. Our defense is playing lights out right now so I like our chances.

Absolutely, Shaun Alexander is washed up. You guys are the 2nd coming of the 1991 Redskins. Matt Hasselback? He's a CFL QB. I've never heard of the guys the Hawks have on defense. Trufant, Tatupu, Kerney....OVERATED! The Hogs should plow through them. You guys better get your tickets ready for Lambeau...they sell out quick!

Why do you feel the need to be a wise ass to everyone?

Andre Carter on Walter Jones seems like a great battle. AC slipping by him without going too far up the field will be huge for us. Or do you let bigger Daniels play that side and let AC run wild on the other side?

If you move Carter over to the LDE, he would face someone named Sean Locklear and would be rushing from Hasselback's blind side. Daniels on the right would be better against Jones in the running game (I think) and since Jones is unlikely to give up sacks anyways, you don't lose anything in the pass rush. On 3rd down you continue to move Daniels inside and bring in Chris Wilson to rush against Jones. I think it's a good idea.

I think tough should work.

Do we play them conservatively rushing primarily four guys and play coverage? This has worked earlier against teams that are more pass oriented like the Seahawks have been lately.

Do we play aggressive and blitz early and often from disguised formations? We haven't done much of this so far this year, but GW can bring it like the best of them.

Do we key on stopping on the run? Alexander has played better as of late.

What does everyone think GW will dial up this weekend?

You guys don't have to do nothing. Just show up. This will be an easy game for you guys. Hail to the Redskins!
