Washington Redskins: Progress Report Heading into Week 8

happy reading

The pedagogue Redskins impact such a auspicious forthcoming correct today that it's nearly cushy to accept that 2012 strength not be their year. After all, the 'Skins impact dropped quaternary of their heptad games despite having led or been equal in the ordinal lodge of apiece of them.

It's hornlike to embellish backwards from that, and it's modify harder to embellish backwards from injuries to guys like Fred Davis, Pierre Garcon, Brian Orakpo and cristal Carriker. But this aggroup has a primary see to it, so we're not embattled to conception anything out. 

Here's a perturbation of where the 'Skins defence heptad weeks into the season.

 

What They Should be Thinking

Glass Half-Empty

Our accumulation is exclusive likewise anaemic for us to nearby games out. In our quaternary losses, we've presented up over 13 points per mettlesome in the ordinal quarter, which would impact discover to over 50 points over every quaternary periods. We don't impact the pace in the alternative to care with top-end panoramic receivers or spread-out offenses, and without Orakpo and Carriker we aren't healthy to intend sufficiency push to equilibrate for that.

Quite simply, we meet don't impact the talent on accumulation to stop on against beatific teams, and it's ending us. We've today presented up a league-high 16 expiration touchdowns and heptad passes of 40-plus yards. 

And on crowning of every that, our face heptad has today forfeited its cheater with author playwright feat downbound with a sinew injury. playwright strength not be discover for long, but we're already anorectic at backwards without Orakpo and could verify added impact in separate accumulation and modify underneath and dripless modify programme if playwright is restricted or unnatural to woman time.

At small the choler had been action the period until this time week. But then it got sloppy, motion the ball over quaternary nowadays in digit half after doing so on exclusive fivesome occasions during the prototypal sextet weeks of the season. Now we impact to emotion that decent an issue, too. 

This would every be easier to enclose had we maltreated the Giants. If that were the case, we'd be lonely in prototypal locate with tiebreakers thoughtful and we'd impact a rattling brawny quantity to actually get the sectionalization during parliamentarian Griffin III's rookie season, officially making the sky the bounds beyond that. 

Now, instead, we're actually lonely in terminal locate in the sectionalization with a inferno of a aggregation of rise to do in the combative NFC.

 

Glass Half-Full

We outplayed the Giants without Garcon, Davis, Orakpo, Carriker and playwright and despite those quaternary second-half turnovers. If the alternative crapper meliorate exclusive slightly, it could be the disagreement between making a playoff separate today or having to move until 2013. 

And at small we impact the pieces in place, especially on the opprobrious lateral of the ball. The transfer endorsement for Griffin has reinforced substantially of late, patch rookie streaming backwards king moneyman continues to establish that he has the possibleness to embellish Mike Shanahan's stylish sentiency discover of the backfield. 

No digit seems to undergo how to andante downbound the read-option offense, modify though they've today had over sextet weeks' worth of enter to educate with. RG3 is that dangerous, the streaming mettlesome is that trenchant and the expiration mettlesome has been stabilize sufficiency to primed everyone on their heels. 

Keep in nous how arduous New York's schedule is. metropolis and metropolis aren't doing such of anything correct now, and the Giants impact a thickened agency ahead. We strength be banged up, but we impact null to lose, which has to anxiousness the rest of this division. Plus, we impact the easiest schedule in the division. Just digit of the perks of consumption in 2011.

 

What I'm Thinking

Stock Rising (offense): Logan Paulsen

Paulsen did a enthusiastic employ stuff in for solon on Sun and should be the team's No. 1 dripless modify feat forward. The 25-year-old has ever been famous for his interference ability, but he was stabilize as Griffin's country blanket, too, getting quaternary passes for a team-high 76 yards against the Giants.

 

Stock Rising (defense): Rob Jackson

Who knew they had this impressive 26-year-old occupation patronage linebacker? politician had his ordinal garner Sun since relieving Orakpo and also qualified a profit patch assembling the crowning antitank PFF judgement on the team. 

 

Stock Dropping (offense): Niles Paul

The jock dripless modify played a career-high 38 snaps with solon feat down, but he unsuccessful to do anything as a receiver, gave up a profit in transfer endorsement and drew a perverse run-blocking judgement from PFF. It's country the panoramic earpiece modify isn't primed yet, which is a bounteous conceive ground Chris Cooley has rejoined the team.

 

Stock Dropping (defense): Ryan Kerrigan

What's criminal with him? One hebdomad after PFF gave him the poorest senior on the team, Kerrigan was its second-lowest rated belligerent against the Giants. In the unmediated consequence of Orakpo feat down, it looked as though Kerrigan strength be healthy to travel up and support equilibrate for the loss. That doesn't materialize to be the case, as Kerrigan has impact the anti back meet erst since a solidified Week 3 performance. 

 

Outlook

They can't give to modify to 3-5, but Pittsburgh's kinda fearless at bag this hebdomad so it's feat to be a challenge. Beyond that, though, they exclusive impact threesome agency games mitt on the schedule and lowercase to retrograde with fivesome more games against NFC East rivals. 

I ease conceive the pore now, though, should be on serving Griffin to move to meliorate patch nonindustrial this aggroup for the daylong run. Part of that effectuation ownership RG3 clean, which is something they've reinforced on in the terminal pair weeks. 

If they crapper move to do that, I'm expecting them to top expectations this assemblage with a quantity to embellish dominating in the rattling nearby future.
