Dutch DC Football Fan Posted Tuesday at 09:42 AM Share Posted Tuesday at 09:42 AM What a game!!! Offense did a great job and it’s been a while since I’ve becoming excited again. Scary Terry is the man!!! Daniels keeps on giving! The run game was great. I do hope Ekeler is ok. Special teams is great with great return and we have a kicker! D on the other hand- that’s another story. Quite scaring. Let’s hope there are some quick fixes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because I don't think we have the personnel to do that. Maybe run 3-3-5 instead. Yes we are running a 4-2-5. If we run a 3-3-5 what’s different? I mean I know schematically it would put an extra LB on the field like for ex. Jamin or Chin play LB while Forrest or a 3rd CB are the 5th DB or, Flower could be considered the 3rd LB but I don't think it really changes that much. You'd just he calling Fowler or Jamin a LB vs a DE. They're still mostly going to be rushing the passer. I also don't see any way they change the scheme of their defense mid-season, that would only make things worse. These defenders have been learning this scheme for 5 to 6 months. Most of these defenders are still learning and gelling in this defense. We do have 6 new starters on defense and many times 7 new guys out there at any given time. That's a lot of change from one year to the next. I don't think we are talented enough on that side of the ball to sniff being a top 10 D but I do hope they play better as a unit as the months go on this season. I mean it’s as clear as day to me that Forrest needs to be starting at SS but I doubt they make the move to bench Chinn unless he's truly awful in the coming months and as inconsistent as he is, he still has a few good to great plays a game, of course, Forrest would make those plays plus the routine ones more often IMO. A couple of things are obvious to me: 1. Not paying Curl was a mistake. There's no way we should've paid Curl to be around one of the top paid safeties in the NFL but something around $10 million would’ve made sense. Our back 7 misses his ability to cover TEs & just his leadership and communication skills on the back end. He was the QB of the secondary since his rookie season. 2. Not truly upgrading one of the outside CB positions after losing Fuller was a major mistake by Peters/Quinn. I just don't know what they were thinking? They couldn't have looked at last year's corners and thought yeah if we just draft or sign a few slot CBs we're good there. 🤷🏼♂️ My only thought on that is they see this year as a prove-it year for most of these guys on both sides of the ball, including Forbes & St. Juste so they just wanted to see them start and play and then evaluate them totally before making a decision on what to do moving forward at CB next offseason. 2. Not retaining Tez or Chase is hurting this defense. Say what you want about Chase being inconsistent and taking some plays off, but the guy at least made blocking schemes account for him and put pressure on opposing QBs even if he didn't always get home and he usually played solid run D. Yes too. We don't have a DE near their talent level as pass rusher even though Dante Fowler isn't really that far off but he's more a situational pass rusher rather than an every down DE. The good news in all of this is just as Grant & Danny said yesterday afternoon, if Jayden Daniels can prove he could be the guy at QB then they're not concerned about upgrading the other positions over the next few years. Having Jayden solves the biggest issue that this franchise has had the most trouble with since LT broke Theismann’s leg. Essentially what Grant & Danny were saying was after getting a franchise-type QB, all you have to do is then buy in FA or draft well high in the draft tk upgrade your defense and that is a much easier fix than trying to find a franchise QB which we know as Skins fans over the last what… 38 or 39 years?

When you talk about wanting to win and the culture not being good to the media, and coming off like you don’t care, and then in a big moment when you look like you don’t care…….not a good look. With what he’s said, he should be leading by example and not loafing around out there in a critical situation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

naptownskinsfan Posted Tuesday at 11:07 AM Share Posted Tuesday at 11:07 AM 7 hours ago, e16bball said: One of the things that probably has to be addressed is that if the intention is to actually win/compete, they probably need to put the LT rotation on the shelf for now. Lucas has been his usual solid self from what I’ve seen, but Coleman is struggling to hold up in pass pro. Hendrickson beat him bad on the one sack they gave up. He’s had some tough matchups, but that’s just part of the deal at LT. With Coleman missing much of camp, I think you shelve it for now, and re-evaluate later in the season. But I think you should, for the sake of protecting your asset, go with the veteran there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it’s also Jayden getting more comfortable in the offense. I’ve been saying it, he would go downfield but they were working on his confidence.

lavar703 Posted Tuesday at 01:00 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 01:00 PM Jeremy Chinn needs to come off the field and Forrest needs to replace him. There is no reason to continue the Chinn experiment. Its not working. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's out of position quite a bit leading to a lot of wide open receivers. It was a major issue for him in Carolina as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
