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

Haslett you still have a knack for making me go nuts! Banks! What are you doing catching a punt in the endzone! Almost everyone else... Wow! Just wow!

[BRAVEONTHEWARPATH93]

I probably would have broken down into tears if we lost

[MrSilverMaC]

So this isn't really knee jerk, since this is a opinion I've formed throughout this season... But Banks needs to go. His decision making is costly and the reward vs risk with him isn't nearly high enough to allow him to return kick offs and punts.

Thrilled with the victory - in the 2nd half when Dallas was closing fast I kept thinking how it could become one of the worst losses in Skin's history but thanks to RG III disaster was averted.

The defense and Haslett are AWFUL. How can they go from great in 1 half to pathetic in the next? It's as if Haslett has no ability to make adjustments. The Skins were laying off and going zone for much of the 2nd half and STILL getting gashed for big plays.

Josh Wilson seems to complain to the official after EVERY play that he gets beat on. Instead of whining he needs to play better (yes he did force a fumble today but also gave up big plays)

Brandon Banks needs to go now! He kept bringing out kickoffs and not making it to the 20 which is bad enough. But fielding a punt in the end zone is something junior high players are taught not to do.
Getting more tired of him every week...

Banks never hits full speed. The guys that score off kicks normally take off right up the middle or go north south until they see a seam then take off. Banks runs at slightly above average speed and goes down. I guess it's better than gettin blown up and fumbling.

My kneejerk question is: Does anyone know if Robinson can salsa dance?? Maybe he turns out to be "our" V.Cruz??

[Skins4SB]

Haslett doesn't know how to play with a lead apparently. It was already obvious he didn't know how to scheme without one.

Banks does need to go.

Wholeheartedly agree, loved him a few years ago but with the new rules and his inability to make plays he is not worth a roster spot.

1. F Haslett - he's the sole reason this was close. Going into prevent with a quarter to go. Get this garbage of out DC ASAP after this season.

2. HTTMFR!!!! This caps a hell of a Thanksgiving.

3. RGIII is unbelievable.

4. Santana Moss still has it. Love this guy, Skins great through and through.

5. Kevin Durant..God I wish this guy was on the Wizards. Favorite player in the NBA.


Kevin Durant ‏@KDTrey5

Wellllllll, how about them damn skins!

[SAli457180]

Love the win, but this game should not have been as close as it was. That's probably because Dal@ss figured out how to scheme vs the Skins in the 2nd half which is on Haslett. However, the turnovers by the defense were great to see. Offense was clicking which was incredible. RG3 is just the truth. Hopefully, the ride this momentum into next Monday night's game.

For next year, if it doesn't cost us, we should take Denard Robinson. He's the only guy who can run as fast as RGIII in college (well one of the only ones) and he can actually break tackles occasionally and is far more agile than Brandon is. I think Denard (can't speak to how quickly he'd take to special teams) would open up that playbook in the way they THINK they can open it up with Brandon.

[8181]

We dialed up some blitzes today (that never got there but at least created some pressure) but we need to be able to create pressure from utilizing just 4 of our front 7.

We'll have Orakpo and Carriker, so barring any setbacks, that should help. Jenkins should be able to put on some good "adult" strength. But we NEED a NT.

Add a safety, and I think our defense should at least be average.

[TheItalianStallion]

The Redskins are the best team in the history of the UNIVERSE!!!!!!!!!!

(hey, who said the knee can't jerk in the positive direction as well?)

well we do have 10 days to prepare for it, so it's almost like a second bye week lol. Gotta rest up, get healthy and beat the G Men down next monday!

[Boss_Hogg]

My goat today is Banks. I have no idea what the hell that guy is doing on returns. Granted Danny Smith is the coach so...
