Redskins notes: Injury update; Davis on INTs | John Keim
Reed Doughty would replace Atogwe; keep in mind that Atogwe has not played very fast at all, whether because of age, hamstring or knee issues. He was never considered a speedy safety anyway.

“We talked all year that continuity is so important,” Redskins line coach Chris Foerster said. “We lost continuity this week.”
For all those that called for a totally revamped O-Line this offseason, this is just as important – or so it seem to be according to our Offensive line coach…………Continuity
This is why our line was playing better. This is why we left Licht(who many called out as being terrible last year)at LG. This is why we re-signed Brown. 4 of the same guys who started on the line last year remained on the starting line this year.
John Denver was a musical genius
The line will get revamped this upcoming offseason. Count on it.

That could equal failure
A piece or two would be fine. Licht was playing well at G before the injury. Monty was playing well at C before the move. I wouldn’t mind an interior guy, but I hope we leave the T’s alone. Willie Smith could be one of our starting OT’s in 2 years.
John Denver was a musical genius

Alternatively
we could just overhaul the entire thing and deal with a season of growing pains in return for 10+ years of continuity out of our new, young offensive linemen.
exactly
how many guys currently project to be part of our line in 2 or 3 years?
Monty and Licht are UFA’s next year (and Licht coming off the injury is an unknown)
Brown isn’t getting any younger (or better)
Chester could be a starter for another year, but after that maybe you consider making him a back-up.
Trent is really the only one, and then some sort of hope that Willie Smith, Hurt or Cook develop

Yes, I hope we continue re-building the line
I’m just curious where you think these linemen are coming from…Free Agency, early round picks, later round picks? It’ll be interesting to see which direction the front office goes
The interior part of the line.
They’re playing decent but we could do much better.
Our line was playing better??

Why?
Editor at Hogs Haven - Redskins Blog
Twitter: @RVAparks Check it out for the latest Redskins news and opinions
Don't get me wrong
He’s a good player but he needs to be on the field. What good is he if he can’t stay on the field and when he’s on the field after these injuries just how healthy is he? We’re heading into week 7 already. He’a also not that young and not very fast. At some point they will have to evaluate the value he brings to the team considering he’s getting a decent buck. I’m sure Shanahan will give him the benefit of the doubt this year and next but don’t forget this is LL’s last year on his contract and it’s not going to be cheap to keep him next year. If Atogwe is off and on the field because of injuries and we have no Landry next year because of the cost…well you get the picture. By the way I can’t stand Kareem Moore and would much rather Doughty on the field.
As long as he plays, I'm cool.

I can’t believe Kareem is still on the team. I guess he is a serviceable back-up.
To me, he fits the same mold as Rex, no potential for ever being good. Wish we could let him go and find another back-up with more up-side

Gomes projects to be able to play both

I don't see how another RB is going to improve on the running game
It seems to me that line play has been a much bigger factor in the success of our running game. And of course with the injuries to Licht and Trent, that weakens our zone blocking scheme that much more. I think it’s a little early to be looking at replacing RB’s, just my opinion.
I think it is pretty clear that the Redskins need an upgrade here
Helu has big time upside, but he can’t do it alone and Torain and Hightower both have some deficiencies
Steveospeak - Content Manager of Fanspeak.com
by Steve Shoup on Oct 21, 2011 10:00 AM EDT up reply actions
So what do you see as Hightower's deficiency?
I feel like, given time, Helu will distance himself from his competition, and Hightower is an excellent blocker, something Torain struggles with.
I think Hightower is a 3rd down back only. He can really help on pass plays both blocking and receiving
but the Skins could use someone with a better skill set. Hillis and Helu, could be like Jacobs and Bradshaw for the Giants.
Steveospeak - Content Manager of Fanspeak.com
Right now I would love to see...
..Helu getting the nod on 1st and 2nd down. He’s a good pass catcher in the backfield, and of course has excellent speed and the ability to change direction quickly. I agree with Hightower being a good option on 3rd downs. I guess my issue is with trying to use a power RB like Hillis behind a finesse line. Our line is built to be quicker and mobile and not necessarily to facilitate a power running game.
but remember Shanny originally drafted Hillis, and used him effectively at the end of the season in Denver

He had a sore throat and his agent told him not to play because if he had a bad game it could hurt his pay day. We’ve had enough of this type of guy to last the rest of my life.

For someone who's had strep throat (twice), #1 is bullshit
Once the penicillin kicks in (or another antibiotic) you’re fine in 3-4 days, maybe even shorter. The fever shouldn’t persist and over the course of the week the soreness goes away. Strep throat is extremely treatable and once it’s identified you’re fine after a few days. It’s not something you sit out for. One thing that can persist, however, is the cough, but I still say that doesn’t keep you out of the game.
Maybe sit out practice, sure. Your body needs some time to recover. Drink some tea. Whatever. But it’s not as serious as you’re suggesting.
Contrary to popular belief, I am not Jewish.
I'm sorry but that is b.s.
Hillis wasn’t diagnosed until Thur. night according to reports and he apparently lost 10 lbs that week. That doesn’t sound like a guy who could go at even 50%.
Steveospeak - Content Manager of Fanspeak.com
Have you had strep throat?
I’m guessing not. Fuck yeah it’s uncomfortable at first. Fuck yeah it sucks. But it’s not as debilitating as you’re making it seem. It’s rather easy to fight through it and my second bout was pretty serious. After three days, the swelling in my throat went down, I was completely fever free (and it was initially a fever of 104), and while I was still coughing a ton, I was able to function. It’s a nuisance, to be sure, but this isn’t colonial times. Especially a football player should be able to fight through it.
Contrary to popular belief, I am not Jewish.
it is pretty clear that he was still in the 'worst of it stage' not sure how that wasn't clear the first time
and no i haven’t had strep, but i’m guessing either time you did you weren’t able to out run a bunch of NFL’ers

Two Flaws
1) You’re comparing Peyton Hillis playing running back in the NFL with your ability to live your normal, docile life.
2) Not everyone’s experiences and ability to overcome strep throat are the same. My wife, who is a strep “carrier”, will suffer the worst effects for a solid 5-7 days. She had surgery to remove her tonsils, but that means that she only gets strep once every 3-5 months instead of her previous once-per-month.
However….I don’t want Peyton Hillis on this team.

Good Friday morning Hogs Haven!
I think this weekend we will all be surprised by John Beck. I actually think the area we will improve in the most with him at QB is the redzone. I think the ability for him to run it in out of bootlegs, playaction and when a play breaks down = more TDs.
:)
"That's what she said!"
Me too
I really believe we’re all in for a big surprise with Beck for the rest of the season.

He’s 6’6, the tallest player in the league at the Center position, and has a tough time staying low and maintaining leverage.

Re shuffling the line?
OK. I can handle it. New quarterback? Sure, I’m fine. More looks for Paulsen, Austin, and (maybe) Paul? Great. But why THE F&@K do I have to deal with Doughty starting again? And at FREE SAFETY? I think I’d rather have Rex back there. At least he’d have the chance to know what it’s like to receive an interception. AND, we wouldn’t have to worry about them using a double move to beat him.
Seriously though, Reed Doughty? Again? Doesn’t anyone have Sam Shade’s number?
Where do they teach you to talk like this? In some Panama City "Sailor wanna hump-hump" bar, or is it getaway day and your last shot at his whiskey? Sell crazy someplace else, we're all stocked up here.
Doughty
People only seem to remember his bad plays versus all the good ones he does make. He’s been the Skins leading tackler at times and his worst moment to most fans was when there was a defensive breakdown that left him 1-1 with Andre Johnson. That’s not in any DC’s scheme.
Doughty is better than most backups.

Nope
And I honestly think he’s fine to plug in on 1st and 2nd down at SS, but on obvious passing downs, Doughty should be replaced by someone who has better coverage skills
I agree I think there is way too much hate on Doughty
though i’ll say I like him more as an ‘in the box’ type of safety. The idea of him being the ‘over the top’ help on Steve Smith is scary.

Doughty is a Good Hitter
Thats it. He’s a sure tackler when a RB breaks through to the secondary and when a receiver makes a catch near him.
But he cant COVER. Receivers blow by hit/run around him and get open to make plays. He’s a liability

He’s solid. He’s a great backup. But I don’t like him as a starter. Teams always seem to figure out a way to get him isolated one on one. And it always seems to be a bad play for us.
I would love it if we could figure a way for him to be our top back up, but not have to start if our starter goes down.

Can someone explain why people are so high on RG3
I rarely watch college football, so I don’t know who he is. But, a couple of mock 2012 drafts peg him as our quarterback of the furture.
RG3
is touted as the “total package” (not Lex Luger). He’s got size, speed, elusiveness (a la Vick) and is extremely accurate albeit in a spread offense with a lot of short passes. I’ve watched a little on him and he is accurate even downfield – his receivers seem to catch the ball in stride almost every time. He also had more TD passes than incompletions through the first 5 games, a stat that is mind boggling. He’s also the son of 2 Army Sergeants and already has an undergrad degree and working on a Graduate degree, so he’s got a good head on his shoulders. Would like to see some more weight on him to play at the pro level but he could still be elite. It also hurts that he plays for Baylor but they are still on the bubble as a top 25 team (thanks to him) so he is getting the exposure. Like him a lot
The line we will see on Sunday isn't that big of a deal, they'll be fine.
And I’ll just put it out there that I think Atogwe will play.
"That's what she said!"
I think it all depends on whether or not he practices today
If not, I’m comfortable with Gomes in as his understudy… just not Doughty
