I agree.

I think the defense has been playing so tight since the Detroit game. That last drive seemed to shake their confidence a lot. I'm hoping after the eagles game and the big stop maybe they gain a little bit of that confidence back

My boy Arie just might keep this job for good:

Redskins have another roster decision to make

Speight and Compton are basically the same. Losing cravens would suck

I can envision a win, but expecting a blowout is comical. These guys destroyed us last time. Our
D has to play lights out for 3 games for us to make the big dance. If they don't the guys will be playing golf in January.

This is going to be the toughest of the Skins remaining games since the D struggles with running QBs. That said I think the O steps up and scores the required 30 point minimum needed to win any game.

Skins 33
Cats 30

Carolina is going to be pissed, super pissed, hope we can match their level of pissiness. It's a code red super pissed off baller Cam and Olsen trap game no doubt.

So it was Preston Smith on that play? No surprise. WTF is he even on the field at this point? Trent Murphy should be getting all his playing time.

For the sake of argument only, let's assume that Smith had tried to pick up the man he was assigned on that play. Well, he's too slow and not quick enough to cover anybody anyway.

I said it in another thread and I'll say it again here: the only hope we have of getting any value out of Smith is to have him gain weight and play DE. He's just too slow to play OLB.

That was a terrible 2nd Round pick. On Smith's college tape, it was crystal clear that he lacked quickness and now we know he's just plain slow. That wasted pick is on Scot M. Scot needs to start appreciating speed and quickness a lot more than he seems to now.

Also, I can't think of an NFL team that doesn't have ILB's and saftey's who are faster and quicker than the ones we have. Our ILB's can't cover TE's because they're too slow. Our saftey's can't help the CB's because they're too slow.

It really doesn't matter whether or not a player knows the playbook or is a good citizen or is nice to his mother if he can't get to where he needs to be to make a play.

I'm as sick and tired of our slow-ass ILB's and saftey's, as I am with Smith. We desperately need more speed on defense. Scot needs to find us some people at those positions who can run.

To me that's a coaching failure. Smith has to know his assignment, but the coach's job is to drill it into their head and instill discipline not to miss it. It's not happening.

I fucking hate Joe Barry.

Thought in Breland situation above, if two guys are uncovered, you are
supposed to cover the deep man (Sproles in this case)

Would have been a TD either way, if he took Sproles away Wentz would have had the shallow guy open.

Can't make up for a brain fart.

I think we win the turnover battle in this one. We force a key turnover in the 4th quarter.

Skins 27
Carolina 23

Our defense is bad, real bad, but here' something I found interesting...

Q: How do KC (10-3),Oakland (10-3) and Atlanta (8-5) defenses compare?
A: 1) Their Defenses are all rated lower than the 'Skins.
2) They all have fewer sacks than the 'Skins: KC-27, Oak-22, Atl-28
Wash has 34 sacks, 4th in the NFL
3) All have more Interceptions than the 'Skins: KC-14, Oak-12, Atl-9
Wash has 8
4) They all have more Passes Defended than the 'Skins
KC-85, Oak-64, Atl-61....Wash has just 54

We get enough sacks & we all know we've missed many other opportunities.

But, we don't Intercept the ball enough & we definitely don't defend the pass strongly enough. So where's the real issue lie?

Is it with our poor Defensive calls (Joe Barry), poor secondary coaching/techniques (Perry Fewell) or is it really just a lack of talent on the Def side (Scott McL)?

I think the real answer is some portion of All of the Above.
