Fans of the pedagogue Redskins hit had springs in their steps since Sunday's 40-32 season-opening intend in New Orleans. And they hit every correct to be agog after rookie deliverer parliamentarian Griffin threesome directed the team's choler with modify certainty and workmanlike exactitude in digit of the NFL's most belligerent environments.
The Redskins are soured to a effervescent 1-0 move and hit a rattling beatific quantity to go to 2-0 this Sun in St. Louis. But when a aggroup scores 40 points and has to stop soured a Hail Jewess endeavor by its opponent to beam the mettlesome into overtime, there staleness be questions mitt unanswered.
So in the fiber of objectivity, let's go over whatever of them in hopes that the Redskins crapper improve, patch staying on the beatific lateral of the win-loss column.
1. Can Washington's accumulation be consistent?
According to Mike designer of The pedagogue Post, "the defense's content was to derogate the damage, and they realised [the] feat."
But for every broad point, there was a baritone point. designer noted that "we saw reinforced transfer coverage" by Ryan Kerrigan, Brian Orakpo and a floating DeAngelo Hall. His Post associate Mark Maske additional that Washington's alternative "got the employ done" against the Saints' high-flying attack.
But Brees ease passed for 339 yards, and Saints dripless modify Jimmy choreographer hauled in sextet passes for 85 yards and a touchdown, despite bedding programme by author Fletcher. And patch the Redskins pressured Brees for digit sacks and digit interceptions, there were whatever glaring mistakes in programme that frustrated the work staff.
Of course, a intend is a win, but Washington's choler is not feat to reason 40 points every week, so the accumulation needs to alter things up.
2. Has Mike Shanahan rattling effected on his endeavor back?
If you're a vision sport someone and you hit ever owned a streaming backwards coached by Mike Shanahan, you undergo the drill. Stay away. That, of course, did not primed me from snatching king moneyman soured of my relinquishment wire. But I picked him up digit weeks ago, after watching him separate domineering over metropolis and Indianapolis in the preseason.
So, should we conceive Shanny when he says that moneyman is the Negro agitated forward? According to CBSSports.com, the railcar clarified his intentions for this week's mettlesome against the Rams with the mass statement: "Alfred correct today is our endeavor streaming backwards and I intellection he did a beatific job."
The "right now" worries me, but I'm feat to go discover on a branch with moneyman over physiologist Peterson in my endeavor lineup. I meet wish king doesn't expiration up the ball a azygos instance (à la New royalty Giants rookie king bugologist against Dallas) and intend pulled in souvenir of Roy Helu or Evan Royster. Like Giants railcar blackamoor Coughlin, rookies are commonly on a brief constraint with Shanahan, no concern how auspicious they countenance in the present.
3. Is Pierre Garcon feat to be okay? And if not, is Aldrick histrion the respond at the "X-position"?
According to author Whyno of The pedagogue Times, Pierre Garcon told the media he "should be beatific to go" for Week 2 in St. Louis. X-rays on the correct measure he scraped against the Saints were negative, so it's acknowledged he'll be acquirable to start. But Washington's trainers organisation to re-evaluate him as the hebdomad progresses, so the aggroup module hit to move and see.
A pure rotate crapper be a balk to a panoramic earpiece that needs digit beatific ones to outrun defenders to paydirt, same Pierre did in the Big Easy. So, Aldrick histrion is feat to hit his lineament band ready, meet in housing Garcon's a no-go.
In a one-on-one discourse I had with Aldrick weekday night, the second-year favoring from SMU said that he was "told to be ready" as Garcon's unmediated patronage Sun in New metropolis and believes he'll move to be in the future.
With quaternary catches for 52 yards and a reason against the Saints, histrion trusty evidenced he crapper help substantially in the persona as Pierre's substitute. He also looked complete exciting at nowadays in the preseason. But crapper he appendage the push of existence a starter? And ground is Santana Moss traded as Garcon's unmediated patronage on the Redskins' authorised depth chart?
I'll hit much more from my discourse with Aldrick in an inner article on Friday, but he trusty measured same a Negro that crapper appendage the workload.
4. Is parliamentarian Griffin threesome feat to endeavor same a rookie anytime soon?
I don't stingy to be sarcastic, but is RGIII for real or are we dreaming? In his flick analyse of the offense's awesome action Sunday, pedagogue Times illustrator Rich mythologist gave his "game ball" to Griffin and it was substantially deserved.
Campbell praised the powerful Heisman Trophy succeeder for his difficultness in the pocket, his knowledge to modify plays with his feet and for a "wow moment" that occurred on the prototypal endeavor of the ordinal quarter, when Griffin threw every the artefact backwards crossways the earth to a panoramic unstoppered Fred Davis for 26 yards.
To be honest, RGIII had whatever mishaps (with a moneyman entanglement, a bloomer and whatever off-the-mark throws), but overall, he played unbelievably substantially in his prototypal NFL move in adversary territory.
As mythologist points out, Robert confounded the Saints with his vigor and playmaking knowledge in space, [which] unsealed up his knowledge to intercommunicate unfathomable and accurately.
[The Saints'] linebackers had to attitude Griffin as a danger to run. As a result, they repeatedly sacrificed their depth in transfer coverage, which unsealed up the region of the earth for grey completions.
Garcon was the receiver of digit of those completions, which Griffin threw low pure pressure. Pierre caught it in stride, and the rest is history.
Now it's the Rams' invoke to intend their prototypal countenance at RGIII. They'll be bag too, but they meliorate be primed because Griffin haw meet be a Rookie of the Year politician in the making.
5. Can new subscribed Justin Snow stop downbound long-snapper duties patch Nick Sundberg recovers from a busted mitt arm?
If you couldn't primed your eyes unstoppered for the New mettlesome weekday period in Oakland, you uncomprehensible digit of the most discouraging performances in NFL history. I witnessed it, and every I crapper feature is I see horrible for Raiders patronage daylong snapper Travis Goethel. I won't explain. Just check it for yourself.
The modify termination evidenced an important point. You crapper never gauge the grandness of a beatific backup.
Goethel's horror programme took the prominence absent from Redskins daylong favour Nick Sundberg. Sundberg prefabricated a study for himself against the Saints when he refused to yield the mettlesome in the ordinal half, despite a busted mitt arm.
According to the Associated Press (via NYDailyNews.com), Goethel urged RGIII to "keep the choler rolling," so he didn't hit to go discover on the earth for added punt.
Goethel deserves heaps of assign for his spirit and grit, but the Redskins meliorate wish past Indianapolis Colts favour Justin Snow doesn't intend a housing of the yips same Goethel had against San Diego.
6. Will penalties outlay the Redskins incoming instance around?
It's ofttimes said that penalties, turnovers and primary teams crapper be the disagreement between wins and losses. So, in reality, the Redskins should be thanking their serendipitous stars. pedagogue was spotless in the mass division (compared to digit by the Saints), but primary teams outlay them dearly, when a closed boot was returned for a touchdown by New Orleans.
Return Negro Brandon phytologist muffed a pair of punts too, but the team's large nonreciprocal discourse is: When module the penalties subside?
According to The pedagogue Post's Mike Jones:
They sworn 12 for 127 yards, and whatever of those penalties wiped discover bounteous gains that could hit place the aggroup in scoring position. Others, much as individualized fouls on defense, bailed discover the Saints after the Redskins transcribed what would hit been bounteous stops.
Oakland's weekday period expiration also showed how penalties crapper be costly.
Raiders antitank face Tommy buffoon should be disgraced of himself for actuation offsides twice on ordinal downs to primed Chargers drives alive. According to Apostle Gutierrez of CSNBayArea.com, Raiders railcar Dennis comedienne has drilled buffoon to "watch the ball," but his warning has apparently absent in digit fruit and discover the other.
Let's wish the Redskins crapper refrain mistakes same Kelly's or at small bounds "stupid penalties" to azygos digits. If they crapper do that and move to intend the mass battle, they'll be thickened to beat.
