turtle28 Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 (edited) 3000 yards for a QB is below average. Keenum has never throw even 25 TDs in a season. What makes anyone think he’ll do it with a less talented WR core then he had in Minny or Denver? And, his best weapon - Jordan Reed - is already dealing with an injury that should be a career-ending injury but he'll probably come back and play. I just hope Reed can walk away from football someday and have a life, I'm seriously worried about his quality if life in 20 to 30 years. Come on man!

On defense, 24 teams in the NFL allowed more than 21 points scored (the Redskins allowed 22.4). I would say its more likely the Redskins have to average 24 points per game to get to 8 wins. That was inflated after Alex got hurt for the last 6 games of the season. Before that the defense of gave up 19.8 ppg.

No. For 10 games our defense held opponents to under 19.8 ppg. Then, Alex got hurt and our offense didn’t sustain drives as well and turned the ball over more and for the last 6 games our defense gave up 26.8 ppg. That’s a 7 point swing in how many ppg our defense gave up a game after Alex Smith broke his leg. Those are very, very telling numbers and a main reason why we didn’t make the playoffs. We may not have made the playoffs if Alex had stayed healthy, but we would have definitely had a better chance with him or even Colt healthy all year.

But I think the D just began to ALSO show the "they are who we thought they were" too. I wouldn't expect that D to have held those numbers with or without Alex.

Those things keep your defense more fresh and make it harder for the opposing team to score. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swearinger got released during the season. Ha ha was brought in a couple weeks before that. Tweets from the LB corps. Something happened in that locker room we don’t know about and it killed the chemistry of that team. I’m sure watching Colt and Sanchez and Josh Johnson do nothing with the ball for 7 weeks didn’t help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, it wasn’t a tweet that happened with Mason Foster. It was a DM that a fan took pictures of and then posted on twitter or Instagram like a lil snitch.

Danger Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 I've always believed in trial by fire. Assuming he can stay healthy that is. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this was the beginning of Snyder's ownership tenure, he's have melted vanilla ice cream showing up at his office after every game.
