Collection of Nose Tackle Ma'ake Kemoeatu's Suckiness (Pictures)

to watch this again???

to pickup a NT and C that can start. I kind of like where Jammal Brown is at right now. His trade right now looks like decent value and the longer he plays and healthier he gets the more value we get out of that trade. Hopefully Mike Williams will be back next year and get plugged into guard. But there is no doubt we need a NT and C in the first 2 rounds. They will make a huge difference.

All the 3-4 experts say that the key position is NT and now we have indisputable proof that you can’t take any DT and make him a NT – it just doesn’t work. A true NT needs to be able to handle 2 blockers every down and ours is getting mauled by 1 guy.

Now the big question (for someone who really closely watches the college players): Is there a true NT in the draft class or are there just DT’s who would struggle in the same way?

He can’t be worse than Kemo. By the way, you can imagine the frustration of Haslett (and MS) when they discovered that AH couldn’t or wouldn’t play NT. Shanahan must have been counting on it. And the big oaf (AH) threw a monkey wrench into his great plan. They should try Bryant at NT, although it would be far better and more sensible to just start using the 4-3 all the time (although, without Albert, it wouldn’t be as effective). They still need a lot of parts to make the 3-4 work – too many to get next year if they also want to beef up the O-line, WRS and RBs.
I think they over-reacted to AH’s antics – could have just ignored them. Did it occur to Mike that Albert might actually have been sick Thursday? I know how bad one can feel with the flu.

First, everybody here knew, or should have known we didn’t have the talent to be a playoff or superbowl contender this year.

Second, the 3-4 can be a very effective scheme for confusing QBs and bringing pressure when the right personnel are in the system.

So, the long term plan is to go with the 3-4 and bring in personnel to fit the system. If that’s the long term plan, then there is no reason to waste time with the 4-3 this year when we aren’t competing for anything in the first place. Get the players familiar with the 3-4 scheme so that when we bring in the key pieces to the 3-4 puzzle everybody is on the same page.

I’m fine with it. I’m not a win now fairweather fan. I can see the long term vision here and I’m fine with it.

You probably could have done a video of every redskin that played in that Giants game and come up with 4-5 highlights or snap shots that made them look awful. The players suck, and Kemo is jus one of many sucking it up. It takes an entire team to lose as bad as they did.

Has been playing on the right side of the line all-season. He was player of the game at RG just a couple weeks ago. He was playing completely out of position at LT. And frankly aside from the false start and that sack, he performed admirably from what I can tell. Two plays are all you have to bash him on. For some reason folks love to bash Heyer, the only guy on our line who plays every single OL position for this team! It sucks he had to play LT, but he did “okay” given that he had to move from the right side to the left side on the fly.

Then he should automatically be able to play excellent against one of the top pass rushing defenses in the league out of position this year? Great logic.

You admit he was playing out of position in an emergency roll. Cut the guy some slack. He’s been asked to play more positions on that offensive line than anybody else we have. He’s done fairly respectably considering he never knows what position he might be playing any given week. I just can’t believe he has two bad plays, and you go for the kill. You could overanalyze any offensive lineman in the league and find two plays in a game where he screwed up. It’s become a bit ridiculous.

I’m not saying that he’s a top offensive lineman in the NFL. What I am saying is that you could do A LOT WORSE than Heyer, and you bash him more so than any other lineman on the team. The starting interior line deserves a hell of a lot more bashing than Heyer ( a roll playing versatile backup) does.

from MS and especially Haslett, and a few of the players, it’s clear that he had to go – no way any coach could put up with that crap. In theory they could have let him play the little bit he wanted, to get some use out of him, and mainly to give him more trade value, but his bad attitude might have hurt more than helped. He’s a mystery – and disappointment – to me. It’s almost as if when he saw the season go down the tubes, he just figured it wasn’t worth the effort to keep working, or trying to learn the defense. The fact that the season is pretty well shot makes it more sensible to just cut Albert loose once and for all.
As almost everybody above said, we should never have switched to the 3-4 without the necessary players, but the question is what to do now – keep or drop the 3-4? One problem is that we hardly have any players right for the 3-4 – need virtually every line and LB position. Orakpo, Carriker, Alexander – who else? Next year’s draft should be used on O-line, WRs and RBs, which doesn’t leave a lot of room for the front 7 on defense. Haslett should be doing some heavy thinking this off season.
