Another week of football is upon and the Redskins face yet another bottom feeder. The lowly Chiefs boast a 32nd ranked defense at 402 yards a game, which is sure to drop this week.
Looking at the red zone statistics, it's interesting to see that the Redskins two least effective games inside the 20 were at home, yet those accounted for the Skins' only wins. On the flip side, the Chiefs most effective red zone games are on the road. Either way, the NFC East has been giving the Chiefs defense fits so far. Doc Walker made an interesting point on Redskins Nation the other night, which backs Joe Bugel's comfort-level, that both Stephon Heyer and Mike Williams are moving back to their natural positions this week. Heyer at left guard and Williams to right guard. The Chiefs only have 6 sacks all-season, so the Oline does have some slack when it comes to making mistakes. If the Oline does struggle, I hope Zorn has the nads to put everything on Jason and let him throw the ball 40+ times. I mean, what other option do we have?

I voted yes...
Chiefs are really bad. Guess the kool-aid has absinthe in it or something.

who are the OTs?
“both Stephon Heyer and Mike Williams are moving back to their natural positions this week”. Rhinehart and ______?
I hope it works!
Personally I’m at the point where I’m taking the season 1 game at a time. If the defense stays consistent all the offense needs is 20ish points which ‘should’ be doable against the Chiefs. I’m hoping Sherm has reminded Zorny that the team needs to game plan each week for the specific opponent and once they start doing that the red zone issues will get better.
Go Redskins.

ouch
so with both Samuels and Rinehart hurt that leaves us with Batiste, Dockery, Heyer, Montgomery, Rabach, Mike Williams, and Edwin Williams? If Heyer and Williams go back to playing guard I don’t see anyone who’s a OT. Am I missing something?

my bad
I’m blind, it was right on the front page: Stephon Heyer, Derrick Dockery, Casey Rabach, Will Montgomery, and Mike Williams.
So we have a struggling RT playing LT, and question mark playing RT, and a center playing guard. Inspiring.

I say again

Shocker...I voted for more than 20
If you can’t lie to yourself, who can you lie to?

I voted for less.
It’s time for all of us to be honest with ourselves. If we’re asking Snyder to do it, then we should do it too.

I said yes. Better now, than never. Besides the kool-aid is drinking smooth.
