Re: Skins-Vikings post game
I know the Red Zone scoring is an issue and coming away with four FG's is never a good plan. BUT ...
This was (and still is) the number one scoring defense in the league. The 26 points we scored against them was the most scored against them all year. (In their first five games no team broke 20 pts.; in their three prior losses Philly got 21; Bears got 20; Detroit got 22). Also, we only started with a "short field" once the entire game - after P. Smith's Int. Even then, we took over at our own 42. We did not start a drive in their territory all game. Here are our possessions: Starting Field Position: Wash. 32 -- TD SFP: W8 (TD) SFP - W21 (Punt); Three Plays; 0 yards. SFP - W22 (Punt); 4 / 12 SFP - W25 (Fumble); 1 / 7 HALF SFP - W33 (FG); 12 / 55 SFP - W32 (FG); 11 / 49 SFP - W8 (FG); 7 / 60 SFP - W42 (FG); 8 / 32 Last Possession - Kneel down. Sure - we need to punch in TD's. BUT ... getting four solid, point-producing, second half drives against this D is nothing to entirely disparage.

Re: Skins-Vikings post game
Minnesota's leading rusher (McKinnon) had 16 yards on six carries. As a team, they had 47 rushing yards. Eleven of those yards were by a WR on an end around - so 36 yards from your RB's.
I know their running game sucked going in to the game, but those are ridiculously bad numbers.

Re: Skins-Vikings post game
Su'a Cravens' increased reps help D; second-half success - Washington Redskins Blog- ESPN
Redskins defensive coordinator Joe Barry said they were going to increase Su’a Cravens’ reps and that’s what happened Sunday. Cravens played a season-high 35 snaps – and even saw time at outside linebacker. That’s where he was aligned when he shot through and recorded a tackle for a loss in the first half. The Redskins had three down linemen, but one of them was Trent Murphy on the right side (with Ryan Kerrigan behind him). Another time when Cravens was aligned here, he shot up and took on the pulling guard three yards deep, helping hold a run to one yard. You can’t use this alignment vs. every team, but Cravens’ quickness provides a different look from this spot. Give the coaches credit for tapping into Cravens’ versatility (though this is why he was drafted in the first place). They’ve expanded his role and he keeps playing well. By the way, Mason Foster has been rather steady of late, and that's been a positive development.

Re: Skins-Vikings post game
We all want td's. But also the Vikings do have one of the top defenses in the NFL. To get 26 against them when no one else has done that this year is pretty damn good.
