RGIII straight up :troll: on this drive.

 

[ThomasTomasz]

Where is Big Bucs? I remember him saying something in another thread (or maybe this one) about the Bucs stopping Alfred Morris this week :yao:

Sorry Skins fans, but this is the Cundiff we Ravens know.

GET RID OF CUNDIFF.........bring back Gano OR Rackers.
MFer missed 3 FGs; well 2 that he should have made. including this 31 yarder.....Bucs keep hanging around

Yep, I'll give him a break on the 57 harder but the other two need to be made. Now the Bucs are getting the momentum finally.

 

[Slateman]

Kerrigan is playing great this week

 

[ThomasTomasz]

There was literally no more room for that field goal.......great drive from RGIII yet again at the end.

when RG III did that fist pump after Cundiff made the field goal...that was a TV feel good moment for me

Pros

-A win. Redskins could have won both of their past two games, but hey, things happen. A loss here would have hurt, due to the dominance on display in the first half. Any way it happens, I'll take it. Bucs played a great second half and Freeman was a completely different player and that made the difference. One he and VJax are on the same page, it will be a deadly combination.

-RGIII finally leads a fourth quarter drive that results in a win. He once again showed poise under pressure and great decision making on that drive. However, there were some errant throws in the fourth quarter and he did fumble the ball that Pierre Garcon picked up just before a defender. Confidence wasn't an issue for RGIII, but this was definitely a huge game for him to win. RGIII also continued to run an effective option game, and worked the hard count very effectively

-If people weren't believing before, Alfred Morris is legit. Playing against one of the best rushing defenses, Morris ran for 113 yards on 21 carries (including a 39 yard run for a TD) and continued his strong play as a pass-blocker as well. Because of his draft round, many people are comparing him to Terrell Davis, and while I wouldn't go that far, Morris is a legit back and a huge surprise out of the sixth round.

-Ryan Kerrigan is a monster. Made a couple important stops, had a sack and was very important in pressuring Freeman throughout the game.

-Besides two false start penalties by Kory Lichensteiger (one near the end which could have directly affected the kick) the offensive line played extremely well. RGIII was only sacked twice, and they opened up the rushing lanes for Morris.

-Pierre Garcon was limited in his return from injury, only targeted once for a 20 yard catch, but Leonard Hankerson, who has earned the other starting spot, stepped up, catching seven passes for 57 yards and helping move the chains. Fred Davis also did well, catching four balls for 70 yards, and seems to be earning more of RGIII's trust, including a big reception on the final drive.

Cons

-Billy Cundiff saved his job with the game-winning kick, which was a hair away from hitting the post. I'll give him the 57 yarder, but he missed two very makable field goals, and it wouldn't surprise me if the Redskins bring in a veteran just to work out as insurance in case Cundiff struggles next week.

-The Bucs were penalized more than the Redskins, but eight penalties for 73 yards is still too much to have. The Redskins are a younger team, but they've got to have better discipline, and with the veteran coaches on this team, that shouldn't be an issue.

-Playcalling seemed to get conservative in the second half. I'm sure some of you knew this was coming as well, but the Redskins have got to keep the heat on the opponent and not let up. I realize Shanahan may not want to rub it in, but you've got to keep it up and not let the other team back in the game and that happens far too often with this team.

-There isn't much the Redskins can do about it now, but against two taller receivers like VJax and Mike Williams, the Redskins secondary does not match up against those guys at all. Freeman targeted them consistently to move the chains in the second half.

we wont see BB around......he is hatin' on RGIII for about week or so
:jonesy:

Sorry Skins fans, but this is the Cundiff we Ravens know.

and even tho he made the one that counted......Redskin fans CANT count on him.

 

[Slateman]

It's not like we could count on Gano

 

[x0xHumblex0x]

It's not like we could count on Gano

get Rackers then.........

 

[ThomasTomasz]

It's not like we could count on Gano

The guy improved quite a bit last year. He has the strong leg that Cundiff doesn't, and half of his misses were blocked. I can understand wanting to upgrade, but the Redskins invested time into Gano, and he gets dropped immediately for damaged goods. I wouldn't have touched Cundiff until he proved himself with another team.

 

[ThomasTomasz]

Even better sign for RGIII, his radio went out during the final drive, and at times he couldn't get over to Kyle Shanahan and had to call his own plays. Pretty impressive for a rookie. I won't echo what Santana Moss said, as he believes it could have been on purpose, but I'm happy with the win and happy that our QB is improving at an exponential rate.

 

[ThomasTomasz]

Cedric Griffen and Meriweather sat out of practice yesterday, and for the Redskins to hope to slow down the Falcons passing attack, they need one of these guys healthy so the secondary can play bump and run on Jones and White. Robinson, Banks and Royster were all limited in practice, but Williams practiced fully.

This game should be a good test to see how far the offense has come, looking forward to it.

Also, RGIII was named the offensive rookie of the month, congrats to him.
