I just noticed he doesn't ever seem to extend for the ball, he's content to wait for it. That's all. He's done a better job than most have at making the transition. I know you aren't a Redskins fan. Didn't guess at all. Coleman is 6'6 but plays much smaller. Just using an example of the tallest receiver I can think of. High pointing the ball isn't something you can do simply because you're tall. It's a skill plenty of smaller receivers have had. It's a skill the same way route running is a skill. You either have it or you don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While he has possession there, when he comes down, he loses the football. That does not continue through the catch. It was reviewed and they got it right. I don't like that because there should have been no doubt if he freakin holds onto the ball. No flag for facemask, though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turtle28 Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 Great Abe by the young Skins last night. Yes, they lost in the end but they’d but rhey battled and their young guys played well and battled through injuries to stay on the field. It sucks to lose but to go into arrowhead stadium and go toe to toe with arguably the best team in the nfl was impressive. Cousins was a leader all night! He showed thoughness and smarts throughout the game. I wish Doctson had come down with that ball, but even though he didn’t, I’m not goinf to be down on him. He made a heck of a catch last week vs the Raiders be ealier in the game on a diving grab where I ruining Jen first hurt his shoulder. It was a great effort, and showed his potential. Our future is bright fellas. oh, and I’ll leave you with this TWill mauling block: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big mistake pRine needs to go to practice squad for a year. Come on Mack Brown lol Thompson had 26 snaps, the Chiefs did a good job of checking him and taking him out of the game. The whole offense only had 50 plays total. I think they only had 3 offensive plays in the 3rd quarter. Thompson did need more touches but the entire offense also needed more chances but the defense couldn’t get off the field, mostly because of stupid penalties. I believe we had 5 defensive penalties that gave them first downs. It’s hard to win that way, in fact it’s amazing we were in the game. It points to how well we played most of the game that we were able to overcome such mistakes and nearly win. I don’t think Perine is going anywhere. It’s a damn shame he fumbled the pitch, you could see him take his eyes off the ball once it hit his hands and he was looking for a hole to hit. I wish one of two things had happened instead of that play: 1. Don’t throw a pitch to Perine or Kelley, they don’t have great hands. They shouldn’t only take handoffs. 2. Gruden should have called that pitch play to Thompson. Breeland had 91 snaps, including defense and special teams! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dashing202 Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 Tough loss but our O looked good. Going forward the skins weakness on defense are TEs and mobile qbs . either way I don't see us losing 7 games . We can win three straight if the D keeps playing solid .

I'm pretty sure Brandon Coleman sucks at it and he's like 6'6. Hopefully for Pryor it will come with more experience but Doctson sure as hell can do it. I mean, I'm not trying to pick a fight with you and I'm sorry if it came off that way. I'm just seeing a lot of Redskins fans (not saying you)being disappointed with Pryor but you had to expect this to a degree. While I think he should be Doctson's back up, I do think he's done remarkably well for a guy making a difficult position change this late in his career. So at some point I have to understand that he is developing with the coaches who want to make him better. He needs to have that drive to want to be better. Right now, I would not pay him th extra incentives in his contract and frankly, he talked about coming in and showing that he deserves a bigger contract. I have not seen that at this moment. I see a guy who is too afraid to go after a ball or make a play on it, doesn't use his height to his advantage, and has marginal hands. I expect Doctson to make some mistakes, but that catch in the endzone was a gimme and he just had to land with the ball and for an athletic WR like him, that should be a no brainer. That would have put us up by 4 with 47 seconds. The Chiefs needed a TD, not a FG to win the game. If Cousins goes to the flat for the 2 yards to get the first, then you wind the clock down a bit and run a play. You have other shots to take. Frankly, if he caught the pass, we go up by 4. That leaves 47 seconds to score a TD and TD prevention is better than FG prevention. I would have taken it and 47 seconds is not a lot of time for Alex Smith. Tom Brady, might as well be a full quarter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lavar703 Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 Normally after a loss I start looking at mock drafts, hoping time slows down before our next beatdown televised for the whole world to see but man this feels different. I can't wait until we play the 49ers. I'm genuinely excited about this team and think every Sunday they can win. This is an awesome feeling that I've rarely, if ever, had watching this team for what feels like forever now. Another solid draft and free agency and this team is going to roll. I've always been scared of paying Kirk but I say go for it. Pay the guy and lets move on to building the depth of this squad. Get another nasty DL to go with Allen and Ioannidis. Watching this defense fly all around the field knocking heads off gives me goosebumps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
