Well, I think we're a better club than you overall, but you'll win this one from here in my opinion.

Defensively, you are probably right. We have no physical presence in the secondary, and that has really hurt us.

HUGE win tonight, break the eight game losing streak at home and a great performance from RGIII.

 

[ThomasTomasz]

Sorry I am a day late, headed out on a mini vacation for the first part of the week and I was watching Bound for Glory last night.

Pros

-A win at home. Redskins had the longest active streak for consecutive losses at home with eight, and that was the third most in our history. Very disappointing, considering the Redskins have one of the biggest crowd advantages, but at least the win was made, despite the Vikings doing their best attempt to take the crowd out of it in the first.

-RGIII continues a strong showing this season. The run that he broke in the end was huge, and that put him over 100 yards for the game. He has a legitimate shot at 1,000 yards rushing, but most important yesterday, he kept aware and got himself down and out of bounds on his run. He was also extremely efficient in the air, going 17 of 22 with a TD and an interception. He made timely throws when needed to move the ball, but the defense also got the Redskins good field position of three turnovers.

-Lorenzo Alexander kept making plays. From a fumble recovery, to 1.5 sacks (one which helped seal the game) and four QB hits, he did his job and did it well. It was about time for Jim Haslett to start using Zo more on defense, and it paid off in a big way.

-Josh Morgan got redemption of sorts for the Rams game. He had a great block to spring RGIII at the end of the game, and that was a big reason that the Redskins brought him in- for his blocking ability.

-Three turnovers on defense. Haslett told the defense that he wanted three turnovers today, and he got them- the fumble recovery by Alexander, Madieu Williams intercepted a pass for a touchdown and DeAngelo Hall ended up with one at the end of the game. I am very impressed with the turnover numbers, and hope that it continues.

-It's a small sample, but Kai Forbath his a 50 yard field goal, delivered on all five extra points and did well on kickoffs. Already an improvement over Cundiff, which isn't saying much, but I'm cautiously optimistic that we finally have a kicker with a big leg.

Cons

-The run didn't get going that much yesterday. While the 2.9 YPC that Alfred Morris finished with isn't indicative of his overall performance, the Vikings kept swarming to the ball and didn't let the Redskins get going. While the line did a better job in pass-blocking, they lost what they gained as far as the run-blocking goes.

-DeAngelo Hall had a pass completed on him when he was matched against Harvin early in the game where he wasn't even looking at Harvin. As a defensive back, that is completely unacceptable to get burned that badly, and I really hope Cedric Griffin can come back healthy so we can stick him in the slot, where he seemed to perform better.

-For the good job that the defense did creating turnovers, and their performance in the second and third quarters, they did not perform that great in the first and fourth. In the first, the Vikings could have had 21 points had they converted deep in Redskin territory, but I'll give the defense some credit there. However, they let the Vikings drive up the field and coverage just looked lost late in the fourth and almost let the Vikings back in the game. This is the same story for quite some time.

-Why is Ryan Grant active if he isn't getting any action. No carries, not even targeted, and Evan Royster isn't doing much. I would like to see them get Grant involved more.

Sav Rocca unavailable due to a leg injury this week. Redskins worked out another former Eagle, Chas Henry, and gave him a physical. Pierre Garcon is still suffering from his foot injury, and is unlikely to play as well.

 

[ThomasTomasz]

$20,000 fine for the RGIII report two weeks ago where he was described as "shaken up" and not with a possible concussions.

 

[ThomasTomasz]

Just tuned in after the Davis injury. Looks like we will see Cooley sign a contract Monday or Tuesday.

 

[ThomasTomasz]

Limiting Moss's snaps looks like a good idea so far this season.

 

[SuperKevin]

Alfred Morris reminds me so much of Stephen Davis it's scary. He's not a big play guy but you'll be lucky to bring him down before he gains 3 or 4 yards after contact

 

[Slateman]

Alfred Morris is beasting. Paulson needs to be bumped up on the depth chart

 

[ThomasTomasz]

DeAngelo needs to shut up. He already has a late hit penalty, and the last thing he needs is another unsportsmanlike conduct penalty.

 

[SuperKevin]

Kai Forbath is the Redskins MVP because he's able to actually make FGs
