Ten observations: Cowboys 18, Redskins 16 | John Keim
Rex Grossman was a flawed quarterback; the Redskins do not have a complete roster; they give up big plays on defense. And that’s what they are exiting the game too. Nothing changed about the outlook for them; they just reminded everyone that they’re far from a finished product.

I've said it before and I'll say it again... DHall is a moron.
Actually cover Dez Bryant on that play DeAngelo and then you don’t even have to worry about a facemask.

Typical fan over-reaction because he had 1 bad play…..when are you posting Redskins must start John Beck? What defensive coordinator puts 1-1 on coverage with no safety help on Dez Bryant? Answer…only 1. Haslett. We’re lucky that didn’t go for a TD. It was a horrible play call.
Romo just saw the scheme the play before….reminds me of the back to back fake field goals.

Have you ever noticed that patch on Hall's right shoulder, maybe once, just once he should act like on the field and in the locker room
He lost his composure on and off the field in a critical moment.

I'll agree with that...
As the Junkies said, a true cover corner doesn’t call out his coach and curse the refs. At the same time, what the F is Haz thinking?

I'll catch heat for this, but I kind of like the call
You’re all in, especially with the state Romo was in. I mean Romo had to pull that play out of his ass and then Dez had to turn DHall around on a backyard route. I’d say we had the upper hand and higher probability of success.
I do see where you’re coming from, but I think it’s easy to criticize Haslett. But I like his mentality and he’s held 11 different teams to less than 17 pts in DC (I think).
Editor at Hogs Haven - Redskins Blog
Twitter: @RVAparks Check it out for the latest Redskins news and opinions
I like the idea of blitzing on the play, but I don't like bringing the entire house on that blitz.
Haz could have tried to bring the pressure for the same effect. Heck, he was successful in “showing” blitz all night, and then having those guys actually drop back into coverage.
I like that we were trying to rattle Romo, but we could have done it without leaving our secondary all alone considering that we’ve seen them get beaten badly before.
PS- this is my 1000th recorded comment on HH- Yay!
I'm curious if the blitz "look" was due to Romo's injury and their o-line
I would imagine more exotic blitzes would be brought in different situations

Exactly right
bringing five or six men would have been much better. Haslett had a defense playing well on the blitz and, with 3rd and 21, got cocky and wanted to go for the knockout punch on prime time national television. Awful decision.
But the “facemask” on hall was just as bad a call on the ref’s. Hall’s hand clearly barely brushed bryant’s facemask.
I agree
the blitz is why Phil Costa made Nick Sundberg look good as a snapper, and I think was the right call there. All game Romo was maybe throwing the ball early when pressured so as not to get hit, and the O-line wasn’t handling it well either. It took a fantastic play by Romo, and that a poor play by our coverage and unfortunately that is what we saw.

That also wasn't Hall's only bad play
He blew a couple coverages and missed a tackle. If you are going to talk, you better back it up with your actions.

Well on that dhall play
The thing about that play is that it was what? 3rd and 21? Why was dhall jumping forward to cover the short route? LET HIM CATCH THE BALL on a 5 yard out and then you can slow him down/tackle him.
So he jumped up to tighten coverage and dez took off downfield. This was all after the snap. To me that’s a mental error and a huge one.
But it should never of come down to that play anyway.
The Beat Box aka skins secondary.
DHall played fine, I just don't like the way he carries himself and runs his mouth the minute things don't go his way
That play wasn’t the reason we lost the game

So anyways
I think that game exposed the offensive line pretty badly. They still need to invest a few high draft picks in that area of the team.
Rocky sucks. Sorry. I tried to pretend like he suddenly was good. Dude cannot tackle, he costs us huge runs.
Rex played a terrible game. No ones going to convince me that he should get a pass because the line sucked. Against a half way decent secondary rex throws at least 3 picks last night. He wasn’t even pressured on all those throws. I know everyone wants to hate on him for the last play, but that was just desperation and our oline failing. It was all the half assed throws into coverage that sucked the most.
I think rex will see A LOT more coverage looks for the rest of the season and I question his ability to pick apart coverag schemes. Shit I question his ability to even read them.
Anyways, this teams back down to earth and I’ll continue to assume MNF = loss.
Dallas tried really hard to give that game up, we just couldn’t handle being at the top of the nfc east.
The Beat Box aka skins secondary.
Not using the oline as a Rex excuse, but the team certainly could not run the ball the way we wanted which hurts
I’d have to watch the game again, but FDavis with just one catch stands out and the fact that Armstrong was hurt doesn’t help.

Or the fact that the O-line is awful

good running show, its the RB’s… terrible running show, its the OL…
is this how it works?? Torain got it done w/ a terrible OL…
what are you talking about?
Torain had multiple games last year where he failed to average 4 yards a carry. Torain also couldn’t have made those blocks that protected Grossman which allowed him to complete some passes.
You can give him a shot, but it really isn’t going to change anything.

yea i do.. he has yet to give a 100 plus yard running performance… that 96 was combined (run/rec) wasnt it??
no
it wasn’t.
Against the Giants, he had 94 yards from run/rec combined.
Against the Cards, he had 96 yards rushing and 10 yards receiving for a combined total of 106 yards.
Ryan Torain didn’t post a total of even 90 yards until Week 6 against Indianapolis.

you are basing it on 3 games from last year and 2 this year for hightower
that is a pretty small sample size. Cowboys rush defense has been pretty impressive. Frank Gore averaged 2.4 ypc last week, and Shonn Greene had 2.6 , and LT was 3.2 in week one. That is three pretty good backs. Torain would have made zero difference.
Steveospeak - Content Manager of Fanspeak.com
You are talking about a back who has only gotten 20 or more carries once before this year
I really don’t understand your point. You tried saying he wasn’t a 100 yard back, and I proved you wrong accept it.

u didnt prove squat… High has yet to give us (Redskins) a 100 yard plus game… again, thats the redskins not the cards…
what's the difference?
Torain had quite a few more games to get 100 yards than Hightower has.
Steveospeak - Content Manager of Fanspeak.com
Dude Hightower's numbers on based on his career, but the difference is he was a back-up or change of pace back and still put up those numbers
and the fact that Hightower wasn’t cut last year or injured really can’t be used against him.
Steveospeak - Content Manager of Fanspeak.com
All torain would have done differently
is hurt himself running into piles of 300 pound men. There was nowhere to run. Your comment betrays your ignorance about football. The offensive line is about 80% responsible for how well a running back does. There is very little a running back can do if they have nowhere to run and no second level blocks. Barry sanders wouldn’t have had 100 yards rushing last night.
we are a yard away from the endzone and we are faking a run to pass to High in the flat?? no faith??
are you criticizing a perfectly executed goal line play action fake?
Torain is average. Deal with it.

and Helu wasn’t running on the Cowboys either. Dallas shut down Frank Gore last week as well. I’m guessing Torain doesn’t fare much better.

Steveospeak - Content Manager of Fanspeak.com
by Steve Shoup on Sep 27, 2011 12:23 PM EDT up reply actions
The fact is
Torain would not have made the catch that HT did for the score (which is all that matters anyways). He never made it on the times we ran that play when Torain was starting last year. It was dropped every single time.
lmao… stop0 lying…. Torain woulda caught that ez ball just like High…
lmao.. again, stop lying…. please provide video of Torain dropping that pass “every” single time..
not every single time, but he doesn't have Hightower's hands
and really who are you to question someone on hyperbole since you claimed that if Torain had 2-3 goaline carries a week he’d have 2-3 TD’s to show for it.
Steveospeak - Content Manager of Fanspeak.com
i never claimed that would be a gimme.. i just feel as though he would do more by way of running a yrd outside the zone than High..
regardless the point is it was a perfectly executed play by Grossman and the Skins of all the plays you try to knock that one i don't get it.
Steveospeak - Content Manager of Fanspeak.com
not downing that play… im saying, like i have been, that our redzone rushing is not cutting the mustard..
and this is what I don't understand
it didn’t ‘cut the mustard’ last year yet somehow you think that Torain will be a lot better this year?? He was anything but a short yardage or TD machine last season so why will he be one this year?
Steveospeak - Content Manager of Fanspeak.com
anything but a short yardage machine?? i disagree… TDs?? he had 3 RUSHING TDs in 4 games.. i would say 3 in 3 really because his first game he only got 7 carries..
Only two of his rushing TD's were goalline plays
the others were a 10 yarder and 13 yarder, yes that is in the red zone, but that isn’t the power running you are talking about. And that is only 4 rushing TD’s in 10 games, and 2 of which came against the Colts who were among the league’s worst rushing defenses. How many red zone carries did he have where he got little or no gain? Plenty.
Steveospeak - Content Manager of Fanspeak.com
Others like him?? Seriously he had 4 TD's Hightower is a quarter of the way there
Steveospeak - Content Manager of Fanspeak.com
Yeah but really I don't think that is the issue
He was targeted 3 times, and this offense doesn’t truly have a true ‘number 1’ weapon, so I don’t see that as an issue. On the post game show Lavar tried to equate that to holding Fitzgerald, C. Johnson or A. Johnson to one catch, but it really isn’t the same. Cooley did fine, as did Moss and Gaffney. The real problem was the mental mistakes (gaffney not going OB) and the O-line.

Yeah, OL had a pretty bad game
Trent played well in the first half, then gave up some pressures as the game went on.
Rest of the OL played pretty bad.
No running lanes.
Jammal Brown couldn’t even touch D. Ware, let alone block him.
OL needs a lot more work.
"By far the worst performers on the (Redskins) are in the front office." – Sally Jenkins
We have drafted an OL
in the top of the draft exactly 1 time in the last 10 years. Our OL has not been good for a very long time.
Brown looked terrible on Ware. Ugly, ugly stuff. I was pretty pleased with Trent for the most part. He looks like he finally is starting to get it and back up his physical gifts with a decent showing on the field. I like that.
Tommy – too many holes, too few picks. Shanny chose to focus on the D this year and it looks vastly improved. The line will come. Anyone that kidded themselves into thinking this was a two year project needs to pass the stuff they are smoking.

Good Morning Losers!
Humidity and moistness in the air? Really? Apparently you were at the game to know if the roof was closed and if there was indeed any humidity. No matter what the conditions at any stadium, BOTH teams have to play in them. You lost to the top defense in the NFC and are still a few players away from making a run. The game was close but good teams find a way to win.
All I did was report what people who were there did say. Nothing more. I’m aware it’s a lame excuse but teams screw in their cleats based on what they know. It is what it is.

Best 3rd down defense in the legue son.
And you didn’t even manage a touchdown through 60 minutes of football. I’d say the D is pretty damn good.
They aren't even in the top 2 defenses in the NFC east.
That’s three games this year they should have lost. I’d be shocked if your beloved girls ended up better than 6-10 this year. i was very unimpressed with everything but your defensive front seven, which is the third best front seven in the nfc east. The redskins lost this game; the cowboys didn’t come close to beating them.
was that another 2 ypc performance from the ALMIGHTY Hightower??
yea, lets “TRADE/CUT” Torain w/ the quickness…. gthoh…
Torain only had 1 TD in his first 3 weeks starting last year.
no 100 yard efforts (and that’s running and receiving combined) and only 3.8 yards per carry for those 3 games combined.
the stupid field didnt help at all
I hate that fake turf crap. it get slick like grass but you cant put cleats on to get grip. there were a few plays where all some one had to do was juke and break free but he slips and falls down. That was some really effed up stuff.
Really?
23 NFL teams use that same turf. So keep trying to come up with excuses but if that is the best you can do then you better get used to it.
Nobody is blaming
The turf for the loss. But if you didn’t see our guys slipping all over the place, then you weren’t actually watching the game. Teams do stuff like that all the time. The Giants used to open some doors or something depending on which way the teams were going that half (basically creating a wind tunnel) at the old stadium The Celtics were the most notorious at the old Garden.
Look, you all won. Great. You wanna rub it in? Fine. That’s what you’re supposed to do. But don’t try acting like you all dominated that game, and don’t try acting like Plastic Man Jones is above pulling some shady shit to give his team an advantage. I have no doubt Snyder would pull the same crap if he could.
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.

Agreed
Armstrong might be the third WR on this team, but he is the fourth option in the passing game at best. Moss, Gaffney, and Davis are definitely ahead of him. You could make an argument for Cooley and Hightower depending on the play as well. I like Armstrong a lot, but you are not going to get a ton of looks when you are that far down the food chain.

who msaid austin was a rook?? not i… only 37?? lol… i s that nolt alot?? close to 50 damn thrown balls… do we really need to throw 50 plus balls to hit more than 2 WR’s?? not TE"S but WR’s…
You said these rookie WR's are so inept that they can't get in and be targeted a few times, while you have been complaining about Austin
Again…where was Torain for most of his Rookie year?? ON THE BENCH…i’m not saying it matters, but apparently you do.
37 is a fair amount, but well it isn’t 50, and I was wrong Austin was targeted 3 times of those 37, though none seemed to be on target. When the TE’s get targeted about 10 times and the backs another 8, yes that doesn’t leave a ton of balls for your 3rd and 4th receiver. Over the course of a year they will get some but week to week it is a crap shoot.

thats not really the point
you are talking about how these young players aren’t doing anything when your boy Torain did nothing for 2/3 the year his rookie year.
Steveospeak - Content Manager of Fanspeak.com
and i also said u can only run 1 back at a time… dif case w/ WRs.. the window for rookie WRs (2/3/4/5 WR sets) to hit the field on off is alot bigger than rookie RBs..
And Paul is on the field
but you are talking about being active, which both Hank and Torain aren’t/weren’t. Usually 3RB’s are active, Torain wasn’t because he’s never really played ST which is a weakness to this day.
Steveospeak - Content Manager of Fanspeak.com
Hank is looking like a wasted draft pick along w/ Aldrick..
and i hope Paul will be utilized more than as a blocker/ST guy… if not, he was a wasted pick too..
You have to think
Hankerson would have been cut if he wasn’t a third round pick.

Might be 3rd WR
but they are not the 3rd option in the passing game. If Moss is doubled and our 2nd option becomes 1 and so forth, then our 1st becomes Gaffney, 2nd becomes Davis (could possibly switch those two), 3rd is most likely a combination of Cooley or Hightower. Putting Austin at 4th or 5th.

b/c a lot of things have to happen for that to occur, the offensive line has to block
exactly how many plays did Grossman have time to look at his 4th option??
Other receivers don’t have to be open, if Moss/Gaffney are open or at least in Rex’s eyes, he’ll throw to them first.
And Rex has to put the ball on target. We saw a lot of poor throws (mainly due to pressure) last night by Rex.

it can’t be production last year, b/c Hightower had a better year than Torain behind probably an even worse O-line and with Derek Anderson/Max hall/John Skelton at QB. It can’t be career, because Hightower has been healthier and productive. It can’t be skill set, because Hightower offers more as a receiver and blocker. Why is Torain better than Hightower?? What basis do you have other than the fact that Hightower was a Cardinal last year and Torain was a Redskin for part of the year?

yes they were near identical but Hightowers was still the better year.
You are right both lines sucked, and you can go either way, but you can’t argue the passing situation. Hightower had to share carries and he showed he was healthy all year, that also makes his year better.

I don't remember it exactly I just remember the write up i did after the game, where I talked about how Torain had a couple of nice carries and then did nothing the rest of the game.
The problem with Torain is despite being this power back apparently, he is either feast 9-15 yard carries, or famine -2 to 3 yard carries. Some of that is on the o-line but a lot is on him. Hightower at least has the speed and shiftyness to break 40+ yarders

on a handful of games from last season, Hightower has more 20, 30 and 40+ runs than Torain. No i’m not saying he is Chris Johnson, just that he is a little more explosive.

I neither said nor implied that the coaches are never wrong. But I’m also not arrogant enough to believe that I can watch a few games and know which players need to be on the field when those coaches get to see them every day. Maybe Torain’s putting the ball on the ground in practice. Maybe he’s sulking because he got demoted to third and isn’t putting forth enough effort. Maybe he’s consistently missing blitz pickups. Maybe he’s just flat-out not as talented as the guys in front of him. I don’t know. But I do know that Shannahan has a track record of success with running backs and in this one area at least, I’ll trust him over my own gut every time.

bad play calling on both sides of the ball beat us last night...
running cooley once was a good trick play. but that second time was a stupid call. and that 3rd and 21 play where they send 7 or 8 guys right into the heart of the oline was crazy. im really upset over this lose. i had us as a playoff team…. but now we will be lucky to be 8-8 and i rather go 2-14 then 8-8. if the coaches keep this up we will have a very good shot at 2-14 imo
If you had us
As a playoff team before this game, how does one loss change that? Look, I get it, it sucks to lose to Dallas. But they didn’t outplay us. They beat us in a tight game. It was a tough defensive game that could’ve gone either way. As bad as we played, we were the only team to score a touchdown, and we were a botched hold by the punter away from having more points than them at the end of the game.
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.
What more evidence do you need?
I never had them as a playoff team, but if you did, after the last two games, how could you still need more evidence to change your mind? The Cowboys were absolutely atrocious in that game. They had 6 fumbles. They couldn’t even snap the ball at the right time. They lost to a bad team last night, and looked bad doing it.

I would rather put the team together the right way before we start with the expectations. Personally, I have no interest in backing into the playoffs and being one and done. I wanna get to the point where the playoffs are practically a given, and we’re expecting to compete for a championship.

did u see how bad dallas was last night? if we cant beat a banged up cowboy team. we are not gonna be able to beat the teams like the rams, 49ers, vikes, panthers,dolphins,and the sea hawks… god knows we didnt have a chance against jets, eagles, pats or gaints in new york. we might not be able beat dallas at home if they are healthy….
I would also take us over Philly at this point of the season also.
I just want to know what have the Eagles shown so far. If Jackson would not have gotten hurt during the Rams game, that outcome could have been a different outcome. First play of that game for the Rams, he went for 6, and his next carry went for 9 then he didnt play no more and that changed the outcome of that game. Eagles may have still won but, it didnt look impressive.

Why are you all arguing with Tommy Gunn.
Dude obviously don’t know what he is talking about. To shut him up, give Torain the ball and watch him get hurt and be out for the season. He can’t beat out a rookie who only had a few weeks to learn the offense.
Ok.
Here’s some English for you.
Have you noticed that the Coach for the ‘Skins isn’t you? Have you, perhaps, wondered why you don’t have NFL teams beating down your door? I’ll save you from having to ponder these weighty thoughts by granting you the information: You would not be able to identify your rectal orifice from a depression in the local terrain given an atlas and a list of landmarks to observe.
i've noticed too, tommy gunn doesn't know what the hell he is talking about
asking why we didn’t pass to receivers who were inactive for the game, etc. Probably a cowboy’s troll being obnoxious
Haslett choked.
He blew ALL of the amazing work in one stupid play. This is why he sucks as a coordinator. Bad in critical moments. IMO, that was the biggest choke job call I have ever seen. Worse than the swinging gate double call. He let the whole organization down. He should resign.
The botched snap on the field goal didn’t help either.
Fate of the Game Rested on the Offense
I can’t believe people are blaming Jim Haslett and the defense for this game. Yea, it would have been nice to get a stop on 3rd and 21. Yea, the blitz got picked up on that play and Dez Bryant made a great play, big deal. They held a good Cowboy offense to 6 field goals.
The fact of the matter is that this game was decided by the ineptitude of our offense. They gave Dallas good field position with turnovers, they couldnt kill the clock with the lead in the fourth quarter, and MOST OF ALL, they couldnt execute a 2 minute drive to get to a game-winning field goal.
When your team has the ball with 2 minutes left, and all you need is a field goal, you drive down and take care of business. The Colts(with Manning of course), Pats, Saints, Packers, etc. thrive on this scenario. We need to get to the point where we do as well.

True, offense lost the game
But it was so clear haslett was trying to have a knockout blow on prime time tv. Got way overconfident. It may not have lost the game, but it was a foolish playcall.
Just like it may not have lost the game, but the facemask penalty on that play was egregiously awful.
And I didn’t see it but this seems weird to me; how the hell does a safety get called for defensive holding?
I agree with DHall
if not his method of expressing his frustration.
WHAT THE HELL was Haslett thinking? You don’t call a Cover ZERO on 3rd and 21! That play cost us the freaking game!
Love DHall's Fire
His comments were emotional and ill-conceived, but that’s fine after a frustrating road loss to your most hated rival.
He and Haslett will talk this week and iron everything out.
And that play DID NOT cost us the game. Try the botched field goal in the first half, or the Grossman pickle inside our own 30 yard line, or the inability of our offense to drive 50 yards and setup a game winning field goal. Take either of those, they were more important than the 3rd and 21.
And if the blitz had work, Romo had been sacked, or Dez hadnt made an incredible play, everyone would be praising Jim Haslett for his genius and for putting pressure on the Cowboys in a big spot.

blah... just blah
Woke up today and started by eating raw cookie dough… that’s how I feel.
