The Knee Jerk (and just PO'd) Thread (MET)

[DogofWar1]

A few things offensively:

- Morris is a beast, but we knew that. More interesting is that since the Saints game, he's averaging 18 carries a game but getting 5.1 yards per carry. I feel like between 20-23 carries a game is the right number of carries for him, it's not too many to wear him down (30 a game is too much), but it's enough for him to have a solid shot at 100 yards a game.
- Davis is finally getting used as a safety valve more often, and in situations where he has a chance to do something with the ball. 90 yards and 70 yards in the last two weeks is solid, and I think he'll average around 65-70 yards a week from here on out. I still think he's got a decent shot at 1K yards, unless we move away from him again.
- RGIII is ridiculously efficient. Nothing flashy, but he's keeping mistakes to an absolute minimum. I feel like his current game, statwise (not playing wise) is similar to Alex Smith, being highly efficient, not making a lot of mistakes, and just generally playing well. Unlike Smith though, I think he has a much higher chance of breaking big plays, either with his feet or with his arm.
- In terms of rushing yardage, we have the 5th best (Morris) and 16th best (RGIII) players, AND we have two players tied with Foster for most rushing TDs in the league. Our rushing offense as a whole is currently the best in the league. Most yards overall, 3rd highest average, most TDs, and most yards per game. I like that.

Well....the jerk store called and they're running out of you!

I really don't understand why Banks still occupies a roster spot. He bobbles a punt almost every game, he calls for fair catches at the ten, and worst of all, he continues to get tripped up by finger tackles and likes to RUN BACKWARDS.

As this as our O-line is, I'd have one more lineman active for gameday, waive Banks, and have other capable guys return punts. The writing is already on the wall with the kickoffs.

Okay, fire Cundiff. Fire Haslett for never having a plan B. As soon as the offense adapts to what we're doing we become a sieve. Also, why in the hell is it legal to put our pass rushers in a headlock? Do we ever get a damn holding call? I saw some really bad ones.

Finally, though I don't think it should have been called, Moss was hit by a defender 15 yards downfield, but no illegal contact. That was the play in which the final pick happened.

Irritated at us shooting ourselves in the foot and losing this game.

We lost when RGIII got hurt. Nothing more to say. Except cut Cundiff.

Though he rookied it, Cousins actually played pretty well. Final pick wasn't really his fault. Kid probably does have a future. Very unhappy at the moment though which is funny because I thought we'd probably get trounced.

Rg3 with a mild concussion....damn

[Destino]

Fire Cundiff. Ask whoever made the decision to hire Cundiff to write a formal apology to the team, post it in the locker room.

Rg3 with a mild concussion....damn

He didn't know the score of the game or the quarter.

Shanny press conference on TV/radio

RG3 has a mild concussion

Defense played well, Atlanta just a good team.

Need to convert 3rd downs.

"Extremely disappointed" that Cundiff missed that fg from the 13. (Shanny stuck up for Cundiff last week, not this week)

[MrBig101]

To avoid RG3 taking more damage the Redskins should rehire Jim Zorn as the Redskins slip & slide specialist:

When Zorn did that Drill with Jason Campbell, he kept on destroying the tarp with his cleats, and never figured it out.

He's become pretty useless. Looks like Randle El 2.0

When it comes to our Washington Redskins there is no such thing as a "knee-jerk" reaction. Most of those "knee-jerk" reactions come to fruition.

sad bump....
