I'll give us a win vs Rams & AZ. While both teams improved, my opinion is we have improved more and are in 2nd year under these offensive/defensive schemes.

A typical Redskins homer would think that.

I'll go a bit more in depth. Bradford is in a new system. AZ has a new QB who only has 7 games under his belt. Their running game is suspect and their defense was terrible last year. Same goes for STL.

Last year we had no identity. We were trying to figure out who we were and we had a QB who based off of rumors, DMac didn't know the plays. Now we have two QB's who know the playbook inside out.

How games does John Beck have under his belt in our system lol?

frankcal20 · Post by **frankcal20** » Tue Aug 30, 2011 3:17 pm

0 but he was involved in the playbook all last year and has looked pretty good in my opinion this offseason. That's more than I can say for either QB mentioned above.

I will say that I'm a HUGE Bradford fan though.

That's because a typical Redskins homer is a rational person who doesn't deride, belittle, and disrespect the progress and improvement that clearly has taken place. Only typical _________ (pick one; Puke, Iggl, Gimp) homers casually respond "sucks" after any Redskins you name. Seriously, suck-boy, if we are that bad , how can 'Super-Andy' save us?

Will add that we're playing AZ wk 2 and STL wk 4. If it was the end of year, I would be worried.

Bradford started all 16 games for the Rams last year and was a beast. Last time I checked 16 was more than 0 which Beck has.

Yep. But now he's learning a totally new offense.

FYI.. the "CAL" portion of his name means he's a Cali guy.. so the whole homer thing doesn't apply here.

Bradford could torch the redskins d blindfolded regardless of which offensive scheme he is asked to run.

At least you ended the pretense you're a redskin fan

facts are facts kazoo. I feel bad for those Redskins fans that are unable to accept the reality that we have a terrible defense and team. You're only setting yourself up for more anger, disappointment and hurt after we suck again this year.

Actually you'll be angry, disappointed and hurt whether we're good or bad and I won't be angry whether we are good or bad. It's who we are, not how the team plays

And we feel sorry for you Cowpie fans. Well... not really. :lol:

Will give you that he's a good qB but you have to remember that there are 11 guys who play on offense, defense & special teams. He's only there in one facet. He can't catch passes and he can't open holes.

As long as Otagwe & Landry start at the safety positions in 75% of the games, I will make you a bet that we are a top 10 defense this season.

RedskinsRule56 · Post by **RedskinsRule56** » Tue Aug 30, 2011 3:43 pm

Stephen Jackson, Danny Amendola, Mike Sims Walker, Harvey Dahl.. to name a few, they have a lot more talent then the Redskins on both sides of the ball.

PAPDOG67 · Post by **PAPDOG67** » Tue Aug 30, 2011 3:50 pm

Redskins have a HOF MLB and one of the best OLB in the business. We also will be very much improved against the run with the addition of Coffield, and Otagwe is a HUGE improvement over the other guys we had as FS last season.

Jackson used to be a great rb now he is just meh. Danny Amendola wouldn't start for the skins and might not get any significant playing time. MSW, are you serious? He is a good playe, like Danny A, but nothing special.

Bradford is a straight up baller though! And so is Dalh.

RedskinsRule56 · Post by **RedskinsRule56** » Tue Aug 30, 2011 3:57 pm

Danny Amendola caught 85 balls last year..

frankcal20 · Post by **frankcal20** » Tue Aug 30, 2011 3:58 pm

Let's look at the statistics:

Yds per game:
Skins 336 - STL 303

Passing Yds
Skins 266 - STL 219

Rushing Yds
Skins 92 - STL 98

Receiving:
Skins
Moss - 93 rec/1115 yds/6 TDs
Gaffney - 65rec/875 yds/2TDs
AA - 44 rec/871/3 TDs

STL
Amendola - 85 rec/689/3Tds
Sims - Walker - 43 rec/562/7 Tds

Rushing
Skins
Torrain: 742 yds
Hightower: 763

STL
Jackson 1241

I'm just looking at the stat's and the only area they beat us at is RB. I'm sorry but the names you mention just to scare me one bit.

When you get Franko to pull stats, your in trouble. :lol:

RedskinsRule56 · Post by **RedskinsRule56** » Tue Aug 30, 2011 4:01 pm

So are you also telling me Bradford isn't better than Beck or Grossman? Now that is hilarious.. Yet the Rams smoked us last year with Stephen Jackson getting hurt in the first quarter.
