OT: 2015 Redskins Part VIII: Skins Offseason: Hello, Norman

[MoJoSauce]

D needs to make a play and get some momentum going

 

[Capsman]

To me Barry's incompetence is is shining through. We should be playing press coverage. Does he not recognize the receivers he's playing against?

 

[Ovechkin]

Part of rebuilding the defense is bringing in a real coach who knows what he's doing.

 

[g00n]

defense is just flat

Well the one CB, who is a converted WR, is not playing press coverage for a reason.

 

[Langway]

Still not enough in the trenches.

 

[AlexBrovechkin8]

Defense is reacting to everything. They're not making plays or forcing the Packers into any uncomfortable situations.

Those 5 points loom large right now.

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

Feels like this one is over, we just don't know it yet. Defense not making any big plays.

 

[Jacoby4HOF66]

Yes, sadly, it does.

 

[g00n]

terrible gap control up front. GB run game is the difference now

 

[Ovechkin]

It's another classic Washington sports playoff performance. No clue as to what it takes to win in a tough spot.

 

[Capsman]

defense is just flat

The huge cushion given (and confusion) on that 3rd and 3 is vintage Skins D this season Barry has called a decent game or two this season, so did Hassett. No excuse to not be playing man to man and bumping receivers on the line. We've made his receivers look like all-pros. The d-line has regressed from last season run defending. Only area you could argue he's done well is secondary play.

 

[troyerlaw]

Those 5 points loom large right now.

Not really. If we're gonna keep letting them score every time they touch the ball, final margin is gonna be 20-ish points

 

[Jacoby4HOF66]

Thats it.

 

[tycoonheart]

They are done.

 

[stanleycaps18]

The draft is in 4 months.

 

[Capsman]

You can see on an individual level this defense has not been well-coached. Guys who have traditionally been decent run stoppers have regressed. If McCloughan is as capable a GM as he seems, he needs to talk to Gruden this offseason and convince him to fire Barry.

 

[Ovechkin]

Will it matter if the same idiot is running the defense?

If Barry is fired I hope you apply for his job.

 

[troyerlaw]

Well, Reed was right, he wasnt down. Can we challenge the spot?

 

[Capsman]

If Barry is fired I hope you apply for his job.

I can see a car that rattles and is poorly engineered, doesn't mean I know how to fix it. But I know there are better engineered cars out there and I know there are guys who design those better engineered cars. You have Hatcher and Knighton who are decent interior linemen, you have a good run stopping OLB in Kerrigan, and you have guys in Riley and Robinson who have been good run stoppers in their careers. No way this run defense should be as bad as it is. The soft DB play on 3rd and 3-4 reflects squarely on him. He is overconfident in his pass rush. There is little stunting on the d-line, he thinks his line can just bull rush its way to the QB.

He's horrible. Doesn't take a coach to recognize that.

 

[Capsman]

I'm pretty much ready to say goodbye to Jackson. He was utterly useless today.

 

[Jacoby4HOF66]

Get a 3 and out and the rookie calls for a fair catch inside the 10. That's not on the coaches, that's on the dumb **** rookie.

 

[g00n]

Kirk double clutching and missing throws. His worst game in a while

 

[tycoonheart]

Kirk wasn't good tonight.
