What are the TWO most important changes needed for us to beat the Bucs?

[joejccva71]

Let's discuss the Bucs game fellas.

Give me TWO changes that MUST happen in order for us to win and beat the Bucs.

[STBonecrusher21]

Score in the redzone...

Defense get off the field on third downs...

[THUNDERDOME]

Convert third downs and get off the field on third downs.

[knowledge316]

Score in the redzone...

Defense get off the field on third downs...

No other response needed. CLOSE THREAD

[DCranon21]

Score TD's in the redzone at least 3 times if we make it 5 times down in the redzone.

Defense forcing 3 and outs instead of extending plays for long drives and keeping teams in it.

[GibbsFactor]

Intensity.
Intensity.
Intensity.

[joejccva71]

1. Playcall better and mix it up. Don't be predictable.
2. Get new players involved in the offense.

[Buck812]

Defense needs to be more creative with blitz packages.

Campbell needs to call his own plays occasionally.

[Outlaw Torn]

1. Offenive Play Calling.
2. Defensive Play Calling.

[gortiz]

Intensity.
Intensity.
Intensity.

win or lose, we need

1. intensity
2. consistency

anyone notice the urgency that portis was running with coming out of half ... the play calling was dialed up, and JC got some time to throw.

[Fight for ole DC]

1. Identify and exploit TBs weaknesses on offense and defense (coaches).

2. Play like a Champion (players).

[joejccva71]

defense needs to be more creative with blitz packages.

campbell needs to call his own plays occasionally.

this

[Boss_Hogg]

1. red zone
2. wildcard offense

[SoCalSkins]

Fire Zorn.
Bench or cut JC.

We can win without either step but it will be far more difficult.

[ciresolstice]

lmao @ wildcard offense, you guys are cruel.

But yeah it was said, score TD's in the redzone/, defense get more 3 and outs/get off the field on 3rd down.

Of course that over simplifies to a degree because there are changes that need to be made for those two things to even happen. ie. playcalling, intensity, aggressive play, possible personnel changes, who knows.

[Jacoby6644]

I'll go with some basic stuff.
1. Guys on Defense, please wrap up when making tackles. Also keeping you head up to see what you're hitting might be good as well.
2. Run the ball more than 14 times in a game.

^^^ Hard to get the caries in when you play from behind. But i agree the running game needs to get going.

[Lombardi's_kid_brother]

Score a TD prior to halftime.

Score a second TD prior to the last five minutes of the game.

[Disegn]

What he said.

[skinznsoxrox]

1. get the running game 100+ yards
2. Heart and pride

[TheItalianStallion]

Red zone O
3rd down D

It wasn't funny the first time you posted it...

[jivelikenice]

1. Have to be more aggressive defensively- We're very vanilla and don't disguise anything well at att defensively. Its a joke how much more a Rex Ryan is getting out of a defense that has a similar talent lever to our own. Imagine what he can do with this group.

2. Diversify the offense. Mix in an Alridge/ Mitchell/ Thomas....Go away from the tendencies to run left....

[Pwyl]

1. Take the points
2. Take some risks on defense (knock the rookie QB down a few times)

[ChampSkinsFanatic]

1. We Suck
2. We can't beat anybody

[Drockvb]

Score in the redzone...

Defense get off the field on third downs...

Agree to the max ;)

[Outlaw Torn]

1. We Suck
2. We can't beat anybody
Very Constructive:applause::applause::applause:

[pjfootballer]

Score more points than the Bucs.

[aussieskin]

PRIDE in themselves, in each other, in the club, in the colours, in the history, in the fans
and acceptance of their responsibilities to each other the fans and the colours and the club
thats all they need to do

[darrelgreenie]

Let's discuss the Bucs game fellas.

Give me TWO changes that MUST happen in order for us to win and beat the Bucs.

Redzone/playcalling inside the 10 must improve

Defense has got to be better

[Monkfan63]

Elimination of the game and play clock.

Allow the Redskins a Do Over on bad red zone plays.

['Skins_&_'Stons]

Fire Zorn.
Bench or cut JC.




Maybe we should make SoCalSkins the NFL's first Head Coach/QB. I mean he is a self-proclaimed genius.

[Squidley]

1.grow a pair
2.fire blecchh

[SKINSFAN87]

heart and soul

[SKINSFAN87]

Elimination of the game and play clock.

Allow the Redskins a Do Over on bad red zone plays.

Funny, but true!:laugh::gaintsuck

[skinsbosoxheels]

1.grow a pair
2.fire blecchh

Wear All Burgundy Uni's or throwbacks.
Paint the Endzones All Yellow or Burgundy.

They need to change things up...new karma...new look...plays will come at some point. It's always 2-3 plays per game that costs them.

[BadKarma]

If the offense sustains an early drive and put points on the board in the 1st quarter we will blow the Bucs out. If we come out flat and ask the defense to do all the work as usual this one is going to be another painful one to watch cause Zorn will cave under pressure. The guy needs a big win to loosen up the noose around his neck and allow him and the team some time to get their swagger back.

1st: We need a scripted opening drive where we do some things early to keep the Bucs guessing, throwing on every play in the 1st quarter against the Lions was a good start but we stalled out again in the red zone when Zorn's sphincter clenched up and he went back to his predictable self.

2nd: If it comes down to a 4th and Goal please please please do not run CP into a goal line defense behind Dockery or else the entire stadium will boo mercilessly. Play action, QB bootleg, QB sneak or just kick the damn FG. Anything that keeps teams who have no right being on the same field as us from feeling like they do.

[McD5]

The Bucs didn't even have a single first down until 5 minutes left in the third quarter last game.

That means we will need to play the game of our lives to win.

[panel]

Defense to Generate Turnovers (Matt Stafford threw 5 pick before the skins game)

Better more aggressive play calling in the redzone.

[Sekhmet728]

Score in the redzone...

Defense get off the field on third downs...

This AND win the turnover battle.

[lucky*13]

Simple,score more points...Defense get of the ****in field..

[rjp25]

1. Putting constant pressure on the quarterback

2. Success in 10 -15 yard pass completions. Right now defenses are just stacking the box because we never throw the ball downfield. Some decent completions will make the defensive backs back up and play the receivers instead of the run.

[THE HAMMER'IN HOG]

Trade Campbell to the Bucs.

[hfmonk]

Fire Vinny
Get an OL.

For all of you that have not thought the JZ situation out....Consider this:

When JZ was hired as HC was not allowed to put in a whole new system...the WCO.
JZ had to keep most of JG's staff.
Cowher, Fassel, Grimm or any other coach would not have done that, but that is a rookie mistake that JZ wont make again.
His complaining about the defense might get most of the Gibbs-ians fired in the offseason...especially since they are blocking the completion of his HC philosophy.
Give the guy a chance to show ownership how wrong they were to follow Gibbs' advice.
If his play-calling seems very conservative and Gibbs-esque then there is only one person to blame for that....Danny Boy!...
Danny made it clear that he loved Gibbs and that JG could do no wrong....even when he failed to win a playoff game or get into the playoffs half the time.
JG won 75% of his games in his first try at coaching and less than 50% his second time.
JZ is doing better than JG in his second stint.
Give him the same respect you gave JG.
Give him this year to iron out the wrinkles in the WCO and to get an OL.
Next year will be our year to shine.

[str8jacket]

hire a experienced proven gm, and allow them to run the team that way a couple years from now we will be able to decimate teams like the bucs and can no longer have these kind of discussions.

[jkypoo]

1. Let Hunter run the wildcat.

2. Switch Zorn over to Defensive Coordinator. He certainly knows how to dial up the plays to stop an offense.

[Thiebear]

Get Moss in like the last game.
Run to the Right occasionally.
Cooooooooooooley across the middle.


Treat 3rd down as you do 1st down...
Watch the film from last week.
Act like you should win.

[Probos]

Scoring more points.

Better pass rush, more pressure, sacks.

[Wildbunny]

- Redskins starts the game with an advance of 14 pts (should help our low scoring offense).
- Opponents are limited to 2 downs to make 10 yards (thus our defense won't have to be afraid of failing on 3rd...)

[LaxBuddy21]

1. Offenive Play Calling.
2. Defensive Play Calling.

Exactly which ultimately leads to not being predictable on both sides of the ball. When need to keep the other teams guessing what we will do next instead of basically telling them and hoping they wont stop it.

[jbowman]

1. FB Lead through the middle added to the playbook for short yardage situations
2. Receivers spending the whole week doing nothing but catching balls thrown to them.

[shuler74]

stop the run
run the ball

[JustAfan47]

Score in the redzone...

Defense get off the field on third downs...

I 2nd that....plus it would be nice if our running game showed up too...

[JdoubleU]

O: Avoid 3 and outs & control the clock
D: Pressure this raw QB (not like you did last week)

[GaryGreenMonk]

run the ball better..

and stop the run.

[KirkNC]

QB and a pulse

[Veretax]

Here's a thought. Let JC call more plays and audible! Give him the freedom to win or choke it for us, but let him leave it on the field.

Secondly. Start Orakpo at DE!!

[skins island connection]

1. Pull JC out of the starting QB role
2. Pull Zorn's head outta JC's arse
or the alternative, pick which ones you wish
1. More QB bootleg in passing attack
2. When was the last time we saw a flea-flicker?
3. Tampa Bay players mysteriously comes down with Swine Flu
4. Deduct $5000.00 from each players salary that makes a bone-head play or blown coverage
5. Start TC AND Marko Mitchell ! {my favorite}
6. Have the Redskin cheerleaders give the TB QB flashes when he's about to take the snap {good secondary choice} + a fan favorite

[Bryan81]

The two biggest changes needed not only for the Bucs, but for any success in the future is a new GM, which we have needed for years, and a new Head Coach. I wanted to give Zorn a chance, and I think I have, but he just proves week in and week out he cannot get the team ready to play.

[SonnyJ]

1) Score points
2) Score more points

Seriously, nothing else matters until that happens. I couldn't care less about any other deficiency. It's like being concerned about an ankle sprain when you are dying of cancer - yeah, the ankle hurts and it is affecting you getting around. BUT YOU HAVE CANCER THAT IS KILLING YOU.

[LeftCoast Skinz FAN]

REDZONE TouchDowns!!!!!!!!!!!


Three and outs for the defense. I think this one will be solved for this game. The Bucs are starting Josh Johnson, WTF (Who The ****).

[LeftCoast Skinz FAN]

Nothing, nada, zippo. The Skins easily will beat the Bucs "as is."

GP's inverse Power ratings for the top 5 spots in the next Draft:
1. Bucs
2. Rams
3. Skins
4. Chiefs
5. Raiders

WOW, Skins worse than the Raiders and the Chiefs!!!!!!!

[Campbell's_da_man]

Let's discuss the Bucs game fellas.

Give me TWO changes that MUST happen in order for us to win and beat the Bucs.

Start patching the holes in our defense. We should start this by using our depth chart, and when we find one of our starters underachieving on a consistant basis, bench his sorry ass for someone whose just been dying to get his chance. There's nothing worse than watching someone with a ton of talent play with no heart, bench him. There's someone right behind him that may not be quite as talented, but will bust his tail and give 110%.

Why not pull the plug on LaRon Landry, and bring in Kareem Moore? All Moore did in the preseason was come up and make a ton of tackles. Landry should be learning his technique, and this would also be good medicine for Landry's swelled ego too. We also don't need Coach Blache saying that Landry's ready to make a run at the pro bowl. He's not even close.

And what about pulling Fred "Smack" Smoot? He's toast, so let's take a better look at Justin Tryon, or even Westbrook. Either one would provide better coverage, while Smoot could still talk his smack from the bench. I still don't know how Smoot made the 53 man roster. Maybe the coaches thought his smack would be a good motivator for our younger players, if so, it's just not working out? Try something else.

And Deangelo Hall, I'm watching you too, son. We're in trouble when it's time for you to tackle also. You'd rather stand around and watch the other guy get 'em down. Oh, and one other thing, you're still way over paid.

And why not move Orakpo back to DE, and put a real linebacker in his spot?

[Johns Bass]

1. Defense off the field
2. Offense in the end zone

[MattFancy]

1. Score more than 2 TDs

2. Make stops on 3rd down

[kingdaddy]

Bench Zorn and JC and let TC call his own plays as the starting QB.
I'm serious.

[Scalla]

1. Offense: I'll have to say more effort/execution and sense of urgency from the offensive side of the ball.

2. Defense: As far as defense is concerned, i'll say we need a whole new scheme/strategy more specifically are more aggressive one, but i doubt that will happen as long as Greg (idiot) Blache is the defensive coordinator here.

[thesubmittedone]

We stick together as a team.

We play as a team.
