Collection of Redskins Players' Tweets Following Loss

by Kevin Ewoldt on Sep 27, 2011 9:21 AM EDT in Redskins Analysis

Here are some of the players' reactions following the loss. I agree with Doc Walker. We'll see what gusto this team has vs the Rams.

(@TruckNeild) ..tough L, gotta move on to the next.. Can't look back

(@MrArmstrong13) Extremely frustrated with the outcome of the game. Appreciate the support. Time to hunt some Rams. #HTTR

(@speedybanks16) This one hurts!!

(@TheJoshWilson) Tough one Redskin nation but we still good for 15-1....#HTTR all day...legggooo!...I preciate the love Redskin nation, and remember what don't kill u makes u stronger...and now we feel it in reach...#HTTR...

@darrelyoung Hard when you lose a tough game like that, but the best thing to do is put it in the past and win this upcoming week.

@DonteStallworth Tough way to lose a game, especially to a division foe. Short week ahead in preparation for the #Rams. We will be better #Redskins

(@PhilDaniels93) Good morning. #Redskins just remember that the Packers lost to us last year around the same time and looked how that turned out. #KeepTheFaith #HTTR #RedskinNation ..... Have a good Monday and smile a little.

@RickDocWalker Redskins have nobody to blame but themselves. The good out weighs the bad but they let victory slip away...Now we"ll find out if they have a mean streak! The Rams are the target!

(@BWestbrook34) Just getting home, tough loss but no need to dwell on it.....our focus is on the Rams now and we will right this ship......#HTTR

Laron Landry via an interview: "We should have won this game. [My health is] fine. Just glad to play football. It hurts, first game back to be a loss."

Oh the rams

Pardon me if that sinking feeling in my stomach doesn’t go away at the thought of playing the rams.

Good luck skins.

Speaking of Speedy/Stabby Banks

Can someone remind me why he has a roster spot?

He was useless yesterday... seemed to

Dear Passionate fan, I know you are passionate, but please reply with a logical answer or I will ignore you.

Agreed- it seemed like we started from the 15 or 16 after every kick off...

he have a great game vs tampa? are we going to cycle through these comments everytime he has a bad/ good week?

and I realize

preseason is preseason… but I thought he had some moments agsinst the cardinals too

That was last year and he hasn't done anything in 3 games to warrant his spot.

False

Banks flipped the field and gave us great field position several times against the Giants and Cardinals.

Last night wasn’t his best, but he’s a difference maker and that’s why he has a spot on the team.

During training camp, I was in support of cutting Banks. He had the off the field issue, hurt knee, and I thought he would just be taking a roster spot away from a young receiver.

But he is the only game-changing play the Redskins have. He has the ability to take it to the house every time he touches the ball, something you cant say about any other player on this team.

by StephanHart on Sep 27, 2011 10:59 AM EDT up reply actions

Thanks Dwight

Four things:

1) When did Banks “flip the field” against the Giants?

2) He had two good returns against the Cards, but one was due to a facemask. Way to go Brandon!

3) How do you know Austin/Paul couldn’t do the same thing?

4) Do you think maybe the couple (not several) good returns Banks has had may be slightly negated by continually coming out of the endzone and putting us on the 15 or worse?

Jim, I am not a security threat and my middle name is Kurt, not FART!

1) Look up the stats, he put us in good field position a few times

2) Agreed

3) If they could do it, they would be doing it

4) How many times has Banks pinned us in the 15 on a KR?

by StephanHart on Sep 27, 2011 11:30 AM EDT up reply actions

So far here are my counts on Banks

8 returnable kicks

5 of which he would of benefited taking knee (putting us within 19 or worse)

1 Fumble that luckily didn’t go out at the 1

1 legit touchback

#4

On kickoffs: Banks made us start at the 30, 16, TB (fumbled), TB, 25, 17.
So 4 of the 6 should have just been TB’s anyway.

On punts: Banks made us start 17, 39, 10
So 2 of 3 should have been let go into the endzone instead on returned.

Overall 5 of 9 kicks he was a detriment, and 1 of 9 kicks he did nothing above par for the course.

by preppiejack on Sep 27, 2011 11:48 AM EDT up reply actions

Shanny made the right decision to make Rex the starter? What about keeping Sellers, or Stallworth? At this point, you may as well just trust the coaches know what they’re doing, and that they have the right players on this team for this year. I just feel like the coaches see more than any of us as far as these returners. I have a hard time believing they’d keep a 5 foot nothing, one dimensional player if they don’t think he can help win a game for them every once in awhile.

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.

Banks roster spot: punt return unit versus kickoff return unit. Steve did a lengthy post of the topic but it looks

like the kickoff returns from the new rules situation is proving to be a negative when taking the run vs the down option. The twenty yard starting point is a standard or base and the minor pluses over the twenty compared to the returns of less than the twenty yard seems like the best option is to take the twenty. Teams are not trying to get the touch back as much now as they were in the preseason.

Essentially that means keeping Banks for punt returns. Neither Austin or Paul seems to be enough of a threat for the punt to kick the ball out of bounds. Banks’ average per return might be slightly longer than that of the other two but is it enough to justify a roster spot is the issue. The coaches are going to see how that gamble plays out.

Tough game, but not ready to panic yet

I though Jason Reid’s article this morning made some good points. Every loss is tough, but I think we can expect this team to be in almost every game in the closing minutes. We will compete. Rexy is going to get shit this week but he really didn’t have much help last night, and I didn’t think he played that bad.

I am excited to see how this team bounces back against the Rams. If we pull out a W, I don’t see how any of us could possibly be pissed off heading into the bye week at 3-1.

haha I'm pretty calm, not that angry or pissed at all

Winning a division game on the road is a steal, I’m focused on St. Louis. I think we HAVE to be 3-1 going into the bye to keep a playoff trajectory for the year. Losing a game like last night may be a good experience for a young, growing squad.

I hate playing in St. Louis and they should be pretty pissed off right about now. Also Steven Jackson should be back. Rams O-line is having some real problems. SQUAD UP!

Playoff trajectory...

PLAYOFFS, PLAYOFFS…Man, we talkin bout practice, practice, practice…

I’m not quite as angry as last night, but I’m a little concerned about Rex’s scrambling abilities. He looked very unsettled. Also concerned about Kyle’s apparent devotion to the pass in the face of plenty of time on the clock and a tired defense that was sitting on the pass routes. Helu was running around like a mad man. Why not use what works and burn that clock. Oh, and maybe keep OJ back to help with gigantor WRs.

This

Is all correct. Rex is O.K. but playcalling was strange. What about the handoff to Moss in the first half???

by HogNasty on Sep 27, 2011 12:55 PM EDT up reply actions

Terrible Play

The play calling in general was suspect. There were too many gimmick plays like the Moss handoff, and not enough pounding the rock. They needed to crank up that diesel and run it down the Cowboys’ throats.

Not there yet

The Skins are a decent team. They are not the Patriots nor the Packers, but they are on the right path. In the next year or 2 there will be a big improvement and they will win games like this one. They are young and will only get better. Keep the faith.

8-8 Team

Redskins are still an 8-8 team this year, which means they will lose 8 games.

Also, losing games such as this one where they could’ve won means the overall team is just that much closer to be contenders in the future years….Wishing the skins would have overcome the “girls” because they are the girls but still satisfied with the team direction. HTTR

by dr WNC on Sep 27, 2011 11:28 AM EDT reply actions

They are not ready to be a contender

Last night proved it. They were given that game and again found a way to lose. Choking dogs. That what they do.I guarantee a loss next week to the lambs. Guaranteed.
I know I sound pessimistic, but.. Come on??? 3rd and 21? they have only one guy that can beat you. Everyone knew we were sending the house. Hall blows and Dez is a monster. How about triple coverage on him and let one of the scrubs beat you. Nope. Piss away a great defensive game and a pop warner game by the girls. Great job Haslett. this is why you are fired a ton. Piss away a great game. On one play.

by brettpedigo on Sep 27, 2011 12:27 PM EDT reply actions

On the game.

The Redskins defense is legit, save the blitz call. Whatever…I hope they rebound against St. Louis and Dallas loses to Detroit. Then the world will be right again.

Dallas is bad. I know we lost to them, but they aren’t winning another game for awhile, so they better enjoy that one.

8 dot 8

Hard core Redskin fan, but with all those bad snaps on Dallas, receivers that didn’t have a clue, a good+ team would have buried the boys last night. We are better, but that game gave me some clarity that more pieces need to be put in place.

2-1

2-1 and heading into the months where it actually feels like football weather. September is a shitty month anyway. Put that game behind and just do something in the red zone aside from sucking. Don’t we have a big “red zone threat” named Hankerson sitting on the bench? Throw him in there or something, come on.
