Five Things I Want to See the Redskins Do

[over the mountain]

good thread idea smoot smack and nice ideas from everyone . . .

1. G Williams NEEDS TO BLITZ/BRING MORE PRESSURE

in the preseason our 1st string D unit looked canibalistic with the way they attacked the line of scrimmage and really got after the ball. Last year the consensus was that GW couldnt blitz like he wanted to b/c our secondary wasnt were we wanted it to be to feel comfortable bringing the extra guys in the box. well begining of the season when our secondary was healthy he didnt blitz like he did in preseason and save for the lions game where our front 4 dominated we havent got much consistent pressure on the QB. this is been one of my biggest disappointments for years now. With smoot hampered and rogers out now our secondary is again thin.

2. MORE INTERMEDIATE TO LONG PASS PLAYS DOWN THE MIDDLE

watching our O do all these conservative sideline routes (either short or long) really diasppoints when you watch teams like Green Bay killing defense with slant routes and over the middles taking advantage of all the grass between the numbers/hash marks

3. PLAY AND TREAT SHAWN SPRINGS LIKE THE #1 CB HE IS

i really think that it was a mistake to treat springs like he wasnt needed and ink him in as our nickel back for the season opener. it could only add to his dis-interest with our team which was already a brewing point over the offseason. Now with injuries he will be our #1 corner, albeit less enthused and team oriented.

gotta go so i cant finish but i could go well past 5

go skins!!!
