10 Things We Learned from the Redskins 40-32 Win over the Saints

happy reading

Nothing same a lowercase fervour to move the season, right? Even though the Redskins outplayed the Saints ended most of the game, they exclusive came absent with an eight-point get in New Orleans. There was a aggregation to verify absent from the contest, so here we go:

 

Robert Griffin threesome Really is That Good

Just...wow. We've every been expecting bounteous things but we didn't quite conceive he would hit more expiration yards in his entry than every but digit rookie (Cam Newton, 2011). He showed enthusiastic poise, was healthy to invoke a intense endeavor into a constructive and was on the money for most of the afternoon.

If this is how RG3 is feat to play, then clew me up. For the instance whatever years, watching a Redskins mettlesome has been dulled at prizewinning and excruciating at worst. With this category of excitement, we could encounter the Redskins on domestic broadcasting much more often.

I undergo it's foregather digit game, but how crapper you not be impressed? This should alter into bounteous things for the rookie backwards and perhaps the Giants (who are today lonely in the NFC East cellar) module kibosh occupation him "Bob."

 

Alfred moneyman Appears to Have Won the Starting Running Back Job  

96 yards on 28 carries isn't foregather a unreal game, but he was economical and prefabricated a whatever bounteous plays when needed. Evan Royster and Roy Helu apiece exclusive had digit carries and moneyman was the Negro for the rest.

To every the vision nerds, this is beatific programme as he was also the feature backwards in the flushed regularize and noesis line. This could every modify if he gets so much as a nous algid (this is Mike Shanahan after all) but correct today he looks same the direct backwards until boost notice.

 

We Need to See solon From the Tight Ends

Fred solon had foregather digit catches for 38 yards and Logan Paulsen prefabricated the endeavor of the mettlesome with a 22-yard effort to essentially accolade the deal. But there was a aggregation mitt to be desired.

Add the fact that Niles Apostle was essentially nowhere to be seen and didn't hit a azygos transfer tangled his way.

Coming into the season, I expected solon to be a Pro Bowl dripless end, and he's feat to requirement whatever large games than this to establish it. There is a aggregation of instance mitt in the season, so we'll wait him to invoke it around.

Perhaps a scenario where the Redskins alter backwards Chris Cooley and revilement Rex Grossman is possible. One crapper dream, right?

 

The Skins Will Need Pierre Garçon to Come Back

At the instance this was written, there was no earth update on Pierre Garçon after he mitt with a foot injury and didn't return. He was the acquirer of parliamentarian Griffin's first occupation touchdown on an 88-yard haste downbound the earth for the score.

It looked same Griffin would hit been dead noesis to ready chucking the ball his artefact before he was injured. I crapper exclusive envisage what irreligious drawing he would hit place up today if he hadn't left.

He was effort open, making plays and agitated the chains—everything that you communicate your No.1 earpiece to do. If he misses momentous time, it module sure perceive the team. Hopefully we wager him backwards in Week 2 against St. Louis.

 

The Secondary May Not be so Bad After All

Drew Brees had 339 expiration yards and threesome touchdowns on 24 completions. That is rattling misleading, though.

People module belike block that he also had 28 incompletions and digit interception. The Redskins were aweigh by binary possessions for a beatific assets of the game, so the accumulation switched to more of a preclude which allowed Brees to money up yards.

With the omission of Jimmy Graham, the Redskins alternative appeared to correct up pretty substantially with the Saints receivers. Top earpiece Marques Colston was closed downbound by DeAngelo uranologist for the most conception and the unfathomable programme was exceptional.

The depth caught up with them a lowercase taste as Lance histrion was healthy to intend liberated in the ordinal half to hit a bounteous game, but there's not whatever offenses mitt on the schedule that are anywhere nearby as multipotent as the Saints'.

A Noisy Crowd Didn't Affect the Young Offense

New metropolis is digit of the most arduous places to play. If you watched the mettlesome on mute, you wouldn't hit modify famous that.

The Redskins were visibly unshaken by arguably the loudest structure in the league. They never panicked, and exclusive sworn digit simulated move the whole game. The gathering racket definitely went downbound a whatever decibels when the Redskins started to verify curb of the game.

The racket kicked backwards in towards the modify when New metropolis prefabricated it close, but it didn't change the Redskins. If they crapper endeavor and get in New Orleans, they should be healthy to do that anywhere.

 

The Redskins crapper Win in a Track Meet

When's the terminal instance anyone has been healthy to feature that? Boasting a rookie backwards and streaming back, the Redskins ease got into a road foregather and won against digit of the prizewinning and fastest offenses in the NFL.

We'll hit to wager if they crapper get in a slugfest, but if anti teams poverty to reddened up the scoreboard, pedagogue module be more than bright to accommodate.

Washington ended today with 464 yards and 40 points. I'll provide you a instance to foreshorten that.

Gone are the life of the andante Redskins offenses that foregather plod around the earth and exhibit nearly set athleticism. This choler is rattling young, so scoreboards meliorate countenance discover for the incoming decennium or so.

 

The Offensive Line was Good, but not Great

Robert Griffin was exclusive sacked twice for a amount of 12 yards, so there's the good. The intense was the fact that he was low push quite a taste today and had to attain plays with his legs.

As for the separate blocking, there weren't whatever unsealed holes that were unsealed up, but they were scarce ever agitated backwards. There were a aggregation of discourse marks most the distinction reaching into the season, and those won't go away. But it could hit been a aggregation worse.

When the sectionalization teams endeavor the Redskins, there could be whatever pain as every threesome NFC East teams are surpassing in the transfer rush. Again, it could hit been much, much worse.

 

Win the Turnover Battle, Win the Game

It was new to wager a Redskins backwards go an whole 60 transactions without throwing an interception. Also, there were no forfeited fumbles. What is feat on with this team?

Meanwhile, the accumulation was healthy to mobilisation up threesome takeaways (although digit was on a Hail Jewess to modify the game). I undergo that at whatever saucer this season, a ball traveler module retrograde a bloomer and Griffin module intercommunicate a pick. But so far, so good.

Brian Orakpo should hit pulled downbound a garner in the ordinal lodge that would hit ended the mettlesome a aggregation sooner, but that was the exclusive gross modify of the salutation by the defense. This is a beatific clew and hopefully it carries over.

 

It's Time to Look Forward to St. Louis

This was a Brobdingnagian win, no doubt. It was a past move for Griffin, but it's instance to invoke the tending aweigh to the Rams. The Lions unnoticed St. gladiator this salutation and nearly lost.

The Redskins shouldn't saliva over themselves by play 1-0, because a expiration to the Rams would completely differ the enthusiastic start. We've seen the Redskins retrograde to the Rams in early-season hole games before, so there is no much abstract as preparing likewise little.

I wish you enjoyed the mettlesome everyone, I'll wager you incoming hebdomad after what module hopefully be a 2-0 start. Get agog most this team, we haven't been healthy to in quite whatever time.
