What grinds your gears: Redskins edition

Third down defense is truly what makes them frustrating as fuck to watch. You can hold a team to no gain two other downs, but can't stop someone on the third?! Also, how many third down touchdowns have they given up? It's insanitttttttttty.

I believe its something like 68%...this has been a constant problem. Manusky should be mixing in blitz packages, especially when 3rd and long. Rushing 4 when the will Oline auto-anchor on long passing down 3rd down is not working.

Zero. ZERO creativity. I bet you could fire him, let the players call their own plays and we'd already be better for it.

Holy snickies .. I looked up our 3rd down D and it is so bad, so ugly, so atrocious it is not even believable even though I am staring at the stat with my own eyes

3rd Down Conv % (lower = better)

1. Cleveland 16.67%
2. NE 18.52
3. Chicago 19.23
4. Dallas 20
5. Balt 23.8

30. Denver 52%
31. Miami 59.09
32. REDSKINS 64.29%

sixty-four point two-nine percent ...

My brother and I were just shaking our heads as the Eagles continued to pick up enough yardage on 3rd down to continue their drive. Particularly, the drive where they scored their 29th and 32nd points. Not to mention, both of DeSean Jackson's long TD's were on 3rd and 10.

The Cowboys game was just a continuance of Week 1. It's despicable.
